![]() ![]() ![]() This might be less to do with 2K specifically and more to do with the familiar plague that riddles yearly sports game releases, but THQ had no problem creating a monstrous success with WWE Here Comes The Pain from the previous year’s stellar if unremarkable WWE Shut Your Mouth, so there is a possibility they can make this leap forward.īut for now WWF No Mercy is the gold standard, riding a streak that’s steadily but surely reaching the Undertaker’s lofty WrestleMania winning streak. It’s ironic that for all of 2K’s box arts featuring progressive and groundbreaking WWE superstars, they refuse to break any new ground themselves. More WWE superstars is always a good thing, but at this point it’s a tepid excuse for a lack of innovation or ways to make their games stand apart from one another. Maybe old WWE/F video games have spoiled the more mature fanbases, but what 2K pumps out, whilst respectable, is wholly inferior to what came before. And you thought the 2K Showcase modes were treading water! I’d much rather have a funny, memorable story mode or career mode than the seismic slog we endure in 2K17 or 2K16’s career mode, where you have to play a shed load of matches before you get an opportunity to fight for a desired title of your choosing. Current WWE games throw everything your way like a content Burger King customer, you can lose and continue on, and don’t get me started on the vapid excuse for a career mode and how shallow and boring the presentational aspects are. Don’t forget this is a video game, you lose so you learn to try harder and succeed in the end. I’ve heard many complain about the difficulty of some aspects of WWF No Mercy, such as the mandatory requirement for the player to win or face constant retries. The beats are off the charts and hard to stop listening to, making you pine for a past we’ll sadly never get to witness again. I suggest you go back and listen to No Mercy’s soundtrack and witness how every single piece of music in the game is catchy, especially the Championship Mode back stage music. ![]() Raw was released in 2004, a setlist of nu-metal and alternative rock has filled our ear lobes, and as fine as some of these soundtracks were they weren’t freshly made in-house. One of the many issues with modern WWE video games stems from a non-gamey conceit, that of the licensed soundtrack. ![]()
