I was pretty excited about this game coming out but was immediately disappointed in how slow the game feels. It feels like they are fighting in slow motion and moving on quick sand. It does have a huge list of wrestlers though which is good. Maybe it just takes some time to get used to. What do you think of this demo?

I haven't played a wrestling game since the Master System days, but I found this pretty good, pulling off moves is simple enough and it all looks pretty coreographic. The crowds look like zombies and I was hoping they'd let me use my childhood favorite Hulk Hogan in the demo, but I might as well pick the game up after the inevitable price drop

I was so impressed by the WWE All Stars trailer that I had high hopes for it but was disappointed with it. I didn't like the controls or the overrall speed of the game. I like MK demo much better than this game. As soon as I saw Mortal Kombat Kratos gameplay trailer and saw the button prompt move, I am gonna be getting Mortal Kombat.

Fire Pro Wrestling is a better game than this. They should make Fire Pro Wrestling HD and put it on PSN. Online fights would be great.

I haven't owned a wrestling game since "Royal Rumble" on my Genesis... and this game won't change that record.

:?

Every time they come out with one of these games with wrestlers from MY era, they stink... I would love to have a game with Hulkomania and Andre and Dusty Roads, Ultimate Warrior... But they keep snappin' my fragile lil' heart with these failures...

Wrestling games haven't been good since Here Comes The Pain and based on the WWE Allstar demo, the trend continues. Right off the back, the choices of Ultimate Warrior and Rey Msyterio is odd. But so far I don't like the gameplay or the controls. I still find it strange that wrestling games still have to load during entrance and matches. wrestling games( and sports games ) haven't evolved this gen. alot of these games are released on PS2 aswell and are only separated by graphic increase. im actually going to play the demo more (like with a friend) so don't take my thoughts on WWE AllStars too seriously.

Yeah, they don't ever seem to get it right. I still play WWF wrestlefest on our mame machine in my office. It might be 20 years old, but it still seems more fun to me than these current wrestling games.

You are right.. I also haven't played a wrestling game in years, and was really looking foward to this one, as it seemed to have that fast-paced arcade style fun with the roster I liked.. the last wrestling game I liked was WWf in your house (which played out exactly like mortal kombat) and was hoping for something similiar play-stylle, but unfrotunately this demo does seem slow and sluggish and I was immediately dissapointed.. but then I picked up the demo again a few hours latera,and it grew on me more (each time i pull out new moves which is fun), and it does have an arcade-esque feel to it.. and I do like the way the "special" moves capture the essence and feel of the character/wrestler.. it's not as fast-paced as I had hoped and not quite the feel I had hoped for, but I am starting to like it and having the full roster should make it a solid game

Honestly you don't play sports games at all if you truly believe that. The games that are still on PS2 still use the same engines from last gen so it's a crime to even buy those games. The games on the current gen system have implemented plenty of new features across the board whether it's Fifa, NHL, NBA 2K, Fight Night, or even Madden.

I gave it a try and wasn't too impressed. I have been a WWF/WWE fan for many years and I think they should really focus on the Smackdown vs Raw seriesand keep improving that.I do appreciate the direction they were going in andwhat they tried to do with the WWE All Stars game, but I think there were some people that said it was slow and I agree-that does need some work. I should be able to fly around the ring with a character like Rey Mysterio (hopefully that will be improved in the final verison of the game).

Personally, I would much rather play WWF Wrestlefest in the arcade than WWE All Stars! for those of you eagerly awaiting WWE All Stars I hope the final version is awesome!

I was out after less than 5 minutes!

:lol:

It was just sooooo SLOW... not fun in the least. I could get around some of the dated graphics, etc. if the gameplay was there... buuuuut it ain't. Really bummed, but it raises the new MK's purchase date.

True Madden and 2K for PS2 are diffrent than the PS3 version. But that doesn't mean they are better. But for sure MLB The Show is the same across of Playstation platforms and SVR.

Same here. I hated the look, the way it played, and any wrestling game without Ultimo Dragon, Lance Storm, and Booker T is a no buy in my book...

I played it for like an hour :| The game was pretty damn hard and I wanted to just beat Ultimate Warrior with Rey. Took me a little while... I thought it was pretty fun but I'm not buying it.

And Rey Mysterio who is suppose to be the "fast guy" is built like a 350lb short, stocky tank and moves like a tank too. I could only imagine how slow the big show and andre the giant are.

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!! Next game on my list.

i found it pretty fun, but the thing is the people who made tna impact made it and its pretty obvious that they were lazy and didnt fix some things with this game from tna. Like first off the wrestlers stances are the same from tna impact, also the way they reverse like the majority of your moves is also from that game and lastly the sound effects when you drop someone on the mat is the same from tna impact too.

I agree 100%. HCTP was the last great wrestling game i played (and still do, to this day, from time to time.) I feel as if THQ suddenly just, didnt care anymore as soon as the inaugural Smackdown vs Raw game came out in '04. '06 was pretty decent but from then on, it just got even worse. Like you said, All Stars definately continues the trend.

I had high hopes with the production value and the entrances, but once the in ring action started, it was just plain boring. Even Rey Mysterio was lumbering around like a 400 lb guy, and while the moves were cool and impactful, it wasn't a very intuitive control scheme. I think I'll pass on this one.

A 100% agree with you. Well the 1st Smackdown vs Raw was a disapointment only because it didn't improve on HCTP but the game still was HTCP, Smackdown vs Raw 2006 overall was ok, but it was the begining of the end. when I bought SVR 07. sold it to my cousin and I never bought a wrestling game again.
