Firstly, there are plenty of match types to choose from, such as fatal 4-way Hell in a Cell matches, TLC 6-man (3v3) tag matches and up to 30-man Royal Rumbles. It also has a pretty lacklustre soundtrack too, but that’s the least of its worries.īelieve it or not, WWE 2K18 does do a few things which are actually worth praising, the downside is it doesn’t make the game any better as it is all content based. I’d honestly feel so bad if anybody has to pay for an SD card solely to play WWE 2K18, as you’re having to fork out even more money on a broken mess of a game. On top of that, you also have the matter of needing an SD card to play the game as it comes in at a whopping 24GB even when owning the physical version. There are other pretty big issues present also, you have a ton of audio issues during matches, some out of sync wrestler entrances and really bad opponent AI. The framerate is that bad it’s as if I set the game to play in slow motion, it’s truly indefensible. I have no idea why any publisher, let alone a big publisher like 2K Games would be okay releasing it in this state. I should say it again, that is just 1v1, don’t even get me started when you start throwing more wrestlers in there during tag team, 6-man and Royal Rumble matches. Characters are unresponsive and sluggish so it causes the matches to be really tedious to get through. Matches that are 1V1 can be fairly okay, at times, but even then it’s still way short of what 2K Games should be putting out. I’ve genuinely had tons more fun playing the old NES wrestling games that had two buttons that did virtually nothing but punch and kick. I’m not even going to beat around the bush, WWE 2K18 on the Nintendo Switch is bad. But I’ve played a lot of the other releases over the years on every console so I feel that I’m in a decent enough position to spot a good wrestling game when I see one.
Of course, my favourite is WWF No Mercy on the Nintendo 64, as I’m sure it is to most people that have played that game. The one portion of the WWE and wrestling in general that I have always stuck with, is the games. I’d watch it for a good few months, go to some live shows when they toured the UK and then stop watching again for a while. Since then, I’ve always been on and off with it. I consider myself fortunate that while growing up, the WWE (known as the WWF back then) was going through a time that everybody loved, the Attitude Era. I was always a massive fan of wrestling growing up.
