Ending was some dumb shit. Rest of the game was real cool tho, 7/10 that should be an 8
Kinda fun. Good base game for the fact that it's free, sucks that it's more or less getting into P2W territories though. Battle Royale itself is horrible though, I fucking hate the concept

Fuck EA, RIP THQ you lovely lovely bastards
I see what they were doing, a lot of it has its epicosity about it especially at the time, but it wasn't for me

This used to be my favourite game as a kid to play split-screen with friends. However, getting older and looking at it from a mature light, it can get boring after an hour or so. High-action, harder difficulties are actually very hard to beat (Easy is braindead unfortunately but I suppose you have to be braindead yourself to find that an enjoyable match, so it works), fast-paced and all-around just a simple game that you can pick up and play. It has a bit of a nostalgia bump I'm sure, but I think it's worth playing.
Road to WM was introduced! Big fan! GM Mode is cringe, idk why they even bothered to add it. Career mode was awful. Feel like they added a bunch of random shit just for the sake of ''playability'' yet didn't bother to do most of it right. Decent gameplay though!
Nickelodeon's version of the Avengers if the Avengers had brain tumors. Milk me, Nickelodeon! I still got money! Milk me some more, please!

Where WWE '12 laid the foundation of a good game, WWE '13 extended on it. The Attitude Era mode is a good change of pace, gameplay is fluid and it's a totally fine wrestling game to go out and play. I wish they put more effort into the AE mode like they did with themed modes after, but overall, it's totally acceptable! It may be even good!!!!

A dumb kids game that has its okay moments. Playing it again, I was surprised at the amount of effort they put in for a video game about a kids movie like this. It has cool minigames beyond the main story, cute little details, good writing. It's a platformer, and not a special one. But it doesn't have to be. Completely acceptable. The good old days of gaming, where they'd at least serve your shit up on a platter instead of expecting you to eat it out of their toilets.

At the moment of writing this, it's my favourite wrestling game. Now, I haven't played any of the SmackDown! games yet, so that may well change but this is definitely the best PS3-era WWE game. The matches have great flow, I loved the general presentation of the 30 Years of WM as a youngin', the Break The Streak gamemode was a great bit of challenging fun, and obviously online was as good as it ever was. They didn't put a reversal limit on yet, which caused the game to go from an arcade style to a simulation style which ruined the game series in my opinion. Wrestling is too diverse to be simulated within a video game. It needs that arcadey flow, and this offered all that.
This game is the most complete Tony Hawk game there is, in my humble opinion. Former THPS titles are great to play on their own, but their campaign never really grabbed me. You have two minutes to jerk your cock around and find a bunch of whatevers, wherevers in the level - THPS4 completely changed that aspect. It renewed the challenges, made them harder, more complex, more diverse while not straying away from the skating at hand. You had basic goals, pro goals, skater-specific challenges - There was so much to do. With that came an amazing soundtrack, many of those songs shaped my music taste of today. I don't know if 5* is too high, it probably is, but I have no idea how they could improve this. Perfection within simplicity.
