It felt like a big match. It played like a big match. Great graphics, huge and impressive roster. Some minor glitches that need to be patched. Mangers play and act as they should. I retained the tag team gold with a well placed distraction. Just like on tv. And there are quite a few surprises for managers. I highly recommend getting the season pass or at the very least invest in the unlock everything feature. With such a huge roster and a wealth of options, this year's game should not be missed. This game has great graphics, the gear looks amazing, the crowd sounds amazing, and the game feels real. The submission system will take time to get used too for some, and the reversal system is cool and add that much needed ring drama. Go forth and buy this game, create, and make your own wrestlemania moments.

This is a fun game to play. The large roster is excellent but is missing a few big names (most notably Hulk Hogan). It's challenging to master the moves but after a few plays, you get the hang of it. The create a superstar feature is pretty good, but I do wish there were more real names and nicknames from which to choose. Overall an excellent wrestling game. Lots of fun to play with buddies.

Way better overall than last year's game. Much better roster and the 2K Showcase is better. Last year's game felt last lazy and rushed by comparison to the Next Gen versions.

2K does it better year in and year out, but this is the best one yet.
WWE2K16 features the biggest roster ever. Improved graphics and gameplay make this a must have for any WWE gamer. The upcoming DLC is great too. 2K has also overhauled the online play.

This is one of the best wrestling games ever. It's much better than last years game, and the graphics for the PS3 version are very good. The roster is amazing. A must have for any wrestling fan.

This game is okay. Not much different than other years. The Next Gen system versions of the game got more than the PS3/Xbox 360 versions got. It's to the point where they shouldn't have put the game out on these systems and made them Next Gen games only, as these versions are a bare minimum and the next gen systems got all the guts and glory, and all for the same price. At least the PS3/Xbox 360 versions should have been $39.99 and PS4/Xbox One versions $59.99. We get half the game for the same price? That doesn't sound right to me. Otherwise, it's a good game. Much easier than previous years with much easier trophies. No insanely difficult or time consuming trophies! Would have given it a 5 star rating, but with the price being the same as next gen and getting half the game, it doesn't deserve 5 stars.

This is easily the best wrestling game to date. The roster is massive, the gameplay is improved from 2k15, and playing those historic Austin moments from the past is a blast!

I got this for my son as a birthday gift. Best Buy had the lowest price and offered the pre-sale special edition. I can't remember what was extra about it, but it was quick and easy as most purchases are from Best Buy online. My son is a huge fan and loves the game. He plays it every free moment he's allowed. Fun enough for me to join in and get demolished by an 8 year old. It has a large enough roster that it can be a trip down memory lane for me and have the wrestlers he watches today. Game play doesn't seem that different from previous editions, but like I said young fans will love this installment.

WWE and 2K have redeemed themselves from 2k15! You can tell they made improvements to overall gameplay and the addition of a bunch of new wrestlers really make this game worth the purchase.

Love this new game, the characters look great and the game play is well done. Lots of match types to choose from and lots of little details for the hardcore fans. I have both the ps3 and ps4 versions and they are different in a lot of ways, some good some bad. I like that in the ps3 version you have more options for the arena when setting up the match, and in the ps4 version I like the UI better. Would defiantly recommend getting the $2 unlockables download from PSN, if you are like me and just want to play matches it is well worth it to have access to all the characters.

Despite the lack of a Divas roster, the overall roster is really strong. The PS3 version is ok, as it lacks My Career.

For those of us still playing on last gen systems, you'll find this game is more or less a rehashed/updated version of 2K14 & 2K15, except with better and more precise gameplay. I actually like the slower pace in this year's game as it provides a little more realism to the overall experience.

Great game, worth the upgrade from 2K15

We began playing this series with the 2K15 installment, and got 2K16 when it was on sale for $30. While I wouldn't have jumped on this at its normal $60 price tag, the $30 was well worth the price to upgrade. There is some slight clutching in spots, but the overall experience is expanded fun that all levels of wrestling gamers can enjoy. One word of advice. Check out the WWE Community custom characters. The game itself is fun, with many different levels and types of action. But adding up to 100 custom characters from the community creations makes this game a whole new experience. In fact, I'm typing this as I'm Ronald McDonald, paired with Big Boss Man, throwing a chair at Batman, who just got slapped by accident by Barack Obama. Good times...

This was a good game that my 5 year old son picked up faster than anyone else in the house. Which is amazing because he doesn't even play video games. he is now into the older wrestlers now lol
