Wrestling Smackdowns Warrior

Game is delivering more than 70 Superstars, Divas and Legends, along with a plethora of match types and options. Most are things you should know from last time around Championship Scramble.

For starters, there's a new mode called Universe Mode. This is basically the combination of the old career and exhibition modes. Here, the game is generating an infinite Wrestling Fighter calendar packed with Raws, Superstars and pay-per-view shows. It plans the cards based on rivalries and rankings, and you pop in to play whatever match you want. If you don't dig a certain card, you're free to whip up a match of your own.

Basically, it's a never ending career mode where the game tracks feuds, winners and more. When you create wrestlers -- whom you can now give all the attribute points you want to -- they're entered into the shows. You can simulate a decade and see how far they go or jump in and manage teams and rivalries so you can see the relationships unfold.

You choose one of five tales and play through the weeks leading up to that Superstar's appearance on the grandest stage of all in between watching a bunch of cutscenes. However, there's a twist here: this year's Road to Wrestle Man has you wandering around backstage.

Now, most shows will require you to go talk to someone before a match can begin, but there are a bunch of side quests to engage in here. If you want, you can rush to the gorilla position and head out to that week's match, but if you're the "do everything person," there are conversations to listen in on, people to talk to, and fights to start. Now, picking backstage brawls might sound foolish, but every match or fight you engage in rewards you with Superstar points that you can apply to your move damage and damage resistance
