Fives 393 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 http://i63.tinypic.com/2cageg.jpg After WWE 2K15 failed to bring the series into the current generation of consoles smoothly, developer Yuke's has attempted a course correction that sets backwards the strides the franchise had made with combat while failing to address the jarring lack of personality in any mode of the game that wasn't last year's rivalries focused 2K Showcase. Though this year's massively expanded roster is a step up from the paltry offerings of last year, the return of most of the creation suites that were missing come back in gutted forms. And the series' attempt to have the Career mode ape similar modes in traditional sports games manages to entirely miss the point of what makes pro wrestling special. It isn't entirely doom and gloom for 'rassling fans, though. The 2K Showcase mode remains the primary reason to come back. While last year's 2K Showcase focused on rivalries (particularly CM Punk vs. John Cena and Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels), this year features a single performer: Stone Cold Steve Austin. As a retrospective of the Texas Rattlesnake's career, 2K Showcase is a nostalgic, beer-drinking, ass-whooping blast from the Attitude Era past. Whether you grew up during Austin's reign on top of the WWE or came to the fold years later, the mode includes a bevy of video packages that provide ample reason to care about this man and his feuds with the McMahons, Bret Hart, the Rock, and more. However, the best part of the whole mode is the return of Jim Ross, who records original commentary for your matches. As one of the best commentators in all of pro-wrestling, it makes you wish you could hear his voice during the rest of the game.
