On top of that and how cool it is to see free roaming return, there's definitely something to be desired here.
I've done every Road to WrestleMania, and I didn't find the leveling process worth much - you have to pick fights with every Superstar backstage to get enough points to really max out your character. Trouble is, leveling up your attributes is a bit of a bitch and not worth it. Now, picking backstage brawls might sound foolish (and in a way, I found it to be), but every match or fight you engage in rewards you with Superstar points that you can apply to your move damage and damage resistance - it's like a mini-RPG in a way.
If you want, you can rush to the gorilla position and head out to that week's match, but if you're the "do everything person," there are conversations to listen in on, people to talk to, and fights to start. My+dinner! Now, most shows will require you to go talk to someone before a match can begin, but there are a bunch of side quests to engage in here. However, there's a twist here: this year's Road to WrestleMania has you wandering around backstage. Raw 2011's Road looks like that of the past - you choose one of five tales and play through the weeks leading up to that Superstar's appearance on the grandest stage of all in between watching a bunch of cutscenes. The flipside to that freedom is Road to WrestleMania. Raw playset - make some changes and see what develops. You can simulate a decade and see how far they go or jump in and manage teams and rivalries so you can see the relationships unfold. When you create wrestlers - whom you can now give all the attribute points you want to - they're entered into the shows. Basically, it's a never ending career mode where the game tracks feuds, Royal Rumble winners and more. Maybe Vince McMahon introduces another opponent after you've won a match or maybe your opponent attacks you during your entrance. Even better, the game is tracking rivalries and tossing in random cutscenes.
You'll play as people, raise their rankings and earn your spots. 1 Contender match (or snatching the briefcase at WrestleMania's Money in the Bank match). The only catch is, you can't just put a Superstar (created or otherwise) into a world title match - that honor has to be earned by climbing the ranks and winning a No. If you don't dig a certain card, you're free to whip up a match of your own. It plans the cards based on rivalries and rankings, and you pop in to play whatever match you want. Here, the game is generating an infinite WWE calendar packed with Raws, SmackDowns, Superstars and pay-per-view shows. This is basically the combination of the old career and exhibition modes. Diva matches only affect diva unlocks, for better or worse.For starters, there's a new mode called WWE Universe. Note that when we say "Win X matches for a brand," we are referring to men's matches. Personally, I love the Hardcore title and I keep it around even though I have to personally set up those matches myself.Īll right, to the chart. Still, you might want to keep one or two "active" to keep some variety going. Unlocked titles can be defended and moved around in exhibition or Custom Matches at will, but they won't show up on the rankings. After it was over, I got the alert that I unlocked Mike Knox even though I never saw him or got the cut scene about it.įinally, whenever you unlock belts, they are decorative only as far as WWE Universe cares. For example, my fifth SmackDown match happened to be playing as a created wrestler in a triple threat match. If that happens, the unlock will happen will go on with no additional effort on your part. For example, your match might get restarted, or it might not be a one-on-one match. However, things don't always work that smoothly. Okay, so that covers the basics of unlocking: play a match, win it, then finish the match (win or lose) when the new person comes out. She probably won't be too pleased you hurt her beautiful face, but hey: she knew the risks getting in the ring! You lose the match, but as soon as you're out of it, you'll get the alert that Gail is unlocked. If you're just rushing to get everything unlocked, as soon as Gail appears, just grab a chair and smash her in the face. Now, if this happens, you do not need to win. This starts a new match, you as Melina vs. Looking at the chart below, we see that Gail Kim will rush out. Immediately after, Vince McMahon will come out and tell you that you'll fight someone else. You play it as Melina, and you wind up winning. Let's assume you're just starting off your game, and the first match on RAW is Melina vs.
