WWE 2K18 is the best wrestling game so far. A great variety of wrestlers with a new technical section that finally meets this generation's standards. A great game where you'll always have something to do and Wresling fans will enjoy it as kids.

2K Games and Yuke's have heard the critics and learned from them. WWE 2K18 improves throughout its predecessor. My Career mode is full of possibilities and Road to Glory gives endless fun. In addition, WWE 2K18 has somes new mechanics that brings variety to the fights and it has the largest roster in the entire series.

WWE 2K18 is as pleasing to the eye and ear as it is to the touch, as a ton of improvements has been made to the game's presentation.

Despite some light areas of concern with gameplay and some of the auxiliary modes and features, the core of the WWE 2K franchise has been strengthened. It won't scratch every itch that virtual wrestling fans have, but the game is deep and fun. At the end of the day, that's what we're looking for in video games.

Exceptional when it all works, but for the third year running launch-day gremlins prohibit an even greater score.

WWE 2K18 is a great wrestling game with a crazy amount of depth that feels a bit too similar to 2K17 to really hit new highs. If you love the franchise, however, this will rock your world.

Wrestling's best and brightest from the past and present collide in this main event feature! Yuke's and Visual Concepts is back with another round of top flight action inside the virtual WWE squared circle. A deluge of content is affixed as the worthy centerpiece.

The beauty about WWE 2K18 is that it doesn't change much, but the things that they did change matter. Presentation, match flow, as well as keeping MyPLAYER's creation suite and the main game's creative suite separate matters...A LOT. Yeah, there are some flaws in the game, and that comes with the territory of yearly releases, but to indicate that the small changes weren't enough would be giving this game a disservice, and for what we got, it's a decently engaging edition of WWE 2K.

Featuring an enormous roster of over 200 characters with revamped gameplay, WWE 2K18 is a solid upgrade from last year's game.

The best wrestling game to date with an impressive collection of arenas, a new and improved graphics engine and an unprecedented number of wrestlers is held back by small, annoying glitches and collision detection bugs.

Despite few flaws WWE 2K18 is a good game but we have to consider that there is not any competitors, so the developer didn't try to publish a flawless game. all in all we suggest to play this game at least for once because of its nostalgic atmosphere.

WWE 2K18 is certainly a mixed bag of tricks, because despite it continuing to have some unaddressed issues, the game is still a lot of fun

You can tell the wrestling giant his age, but real WWE fans will certainly have their fun.

WWE 2K18 is very similar to the previous installments of the series: the gameplay is still somehow slow, but approachable and easy to learn. If you were hoping for a radical change, you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, if you're looking for a game with a solid roster and full of spectacular moves, well, WWW 2K18 is the right answer.

Like its predecessor, WWE 2K18 clearly shows the desire to do the best wrestling game there is, but the end result starts to show the limitations of an annual franchise in terms of technicality and innovation.

Whilst there are some changes, it doesn't feel that different from last year, and the technical issues hinder enjoyment somewhat.

Drowning in modes, creative scope and possessing the best grappling gameplay in a good while, WWE 2K18 is the best the series has ever been on PS4. All the same, the time is ripe for the series to undergo the sort of far-reaching transformation that both it, and its fans, have long deserved.

WWE 2K18 is an upgrade from the previous iteration. It improves on the game's core gameplay, graphics, and creation tools giving wrestling fans a fun experience they will enjoy. However, like previous iterations, the game poses a ton of excellent ideas that fall flat. MyCareer, Road to Glory, and Universe Mode are all fantastic features on paper, but lacks the depth players would want. This is a game built for the WWE Universe; it is for fans of all generations. However, if you play WWE 2K18 without an appreciation for the sport, it would be hard to convince you that it is entertaining.
