WWE Survivor Series

"Only for fans!"

Introduction
These days I have been watching a lot of wrestling in portuguese television, so I really felt like playing this game... I didn't know what I was going to find, but I hoped to play with Eugene, which turned out not to be an hypothesis in this game. However, it has some good and bad things...

Gameplay
If you know the series, it is really possible to perform most of the moves and things that appear in it. Most of them are hard to do, but after a while you will be able to perform them easily, even for the character's finisher, which can EVEN be performed by pressing a single key... Also, you can use up to 16 players (8 from RAW and 8 from SMACKDOWN), and if you play in the story mode (YEAH, i am not sure about the other ones, but this game has a story mode!) you will be able to face them in lots of different matches. As for the fighting, well, it is easy to understand... normally it is just you and the opponent in the ring, but many more things may happen, as another opponent entering the ring and they team-up against you (or you team up against your opponent, that's also possible!), you may use weapons in certain matches and many other things, However, this has a major flaw... The game is EASY, really easy, you can finish it in less than one day!

Story
Well, you start by picking up a character from one of the 2 shows and you will need to win every possible title with him. If you can't manage to win a certain title that your boss tells you to, that's a game over...!

Graphics/Sound
The graphics are really better than the ones in the first game, which seemed like cartoons. This time, they look exactly like the people from the show. As for sound, I must say it is awful. I mean, before the start of the match you can see the music for each of the characters, but even those musics are not very good (they seem like being in WAV format...). Also, the sounds in the matches are ALWAYS the same, you can send 100 punches to your opponent and they will all sound like the same! Finally, I must say that they removed the cool intros that appeared in the last game, which really was a nice function...

Play Time/Replayability
As I already told you, this game is really easy (even if you play in a harder mode!), and once you finish it (which may take even less than 1 day!) you won't like to play it ever again, unless you are a fan. In that case, well, just play the other modes and things like that, and as you can play lots of different types of matches and stuff like that. Oh, and it doesn't seem to have any unlockables at all, sorry...

Final Recommendation
Truly, only fans should get this game!
