WWE 2K15 Critic Reviews

WWE 2K15 makes its debut in the next gen with a notable game. Controls have been fully redesigned in order to offer the best gameplay mechanics, and its visuals are mainly what you would expect.

It´s not a perfect game, but it won't disappoint any wrestling fan, thanks to a great variety of options and game modes. It´s a good first attempt for the next generation consoles.

2K builds a solid foundation for the franchise, with an outstanding amount of content and very solid gameplay. Also, visuals have evolved quite a lot, but animations haven't quite so much.

If not perfect, this iteration of the classic WWE franchise on the new consoles is good enough for both newcomers and long time fans of the series.

Overall, if you want to get the full experience you will need the season pass. That is your shortcut to unlocking everything, and any future DLC. Commentary is just a bad as ever, Michael Cole doesn’t sound right in NXT. The new additions were ambitious, if poorly executed.

WWE 2K15 is a good debut in this new generation, with accessible and fun gameplay, some interesting modes and improved visuals, but it is still below 2K14 in roster, creation options and modes.

Like a new wrestler getting a push, the fans will determine if 2K’s series succeeds or fails.

WWE 2K15's debut on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is good but not perfect: the gameplay is a highly fun simulation experience, but the game doesn't have all the feature depth of past games in the series. It is, however, a good template to build upon for future instalments.

The series finally moved forward and stopped looking like a relict. WWE 2K15 is not overflowing with changes, but they are there and are most welcome.

A big step up from the last-gen versions, but sadly the cut creation tools dent this champ's title belt.

WWE 2K15 on new-gen consoles is like a Raw talent with an already high definition who needs a harder workout to increase his muscle mass, wrestler roster and MyCareer contents.

While the wrestlers look amazing and the combat feels significantly better, MyCareer mode is an absolute slog and everything else has been done better in previous years.

This first new-gen edition of WWE 2K15 lays a solid foundation in the presentation and mechanics, but it’s hurt by cuts and 2K Showcase and MyCareer in particular need plenty of work before they’re ready for the main event spot.

As it stands right now its a solid if unspectacular debut on the new generation of consoles. Who knows though, the wrestling industry is full of people who turned unspectacular debuts into international superstardom.

There's a lot of content that won't disappoint the fanbase, but the combat system feels too slow and still old gen when you look at the animations, and the historic rivalries miss some important steps.

A fine wrestling game with a lot of content and the MyCareer mode as an esteemed highlight. However, the game still has a number of problems that can't be ignored, like the strange animations, clumsy controls and loading times.

WWE 2K15 has still a long way to go to get to NBA 2K15's level, but we can only thank 2K for taking much better care of their wrestling IP than THQ did back in time. Sadly the character roster has shrunk since last year's opus.

It’s a good first try, but not the completely unbelievable release we all hoped for.

WWE 2K15 deserves a bodyslam. With two new exclusive game modes, you would expect a lot of this wrestling game, as WWE 2K14 was really good. Unfortunately, WWE 2K15 isn't that good, with a bad showcase mode and a not-working stamina system.

WWE 2K's first outing on the PS4 and Xbox One is commendable, and gives us much to look forward to for 2K16. But unless you're a passionate fan of the WWE or this series, it's probably safe to rent or skip this year.
