![]() ![]() I like the visual presentation of the campaign mode as they substitute cinematic screens for comic book pages to tell the story. Rather than giving you an option to play through a journey with your created wrestler, the campaign mode introduces fictional characters, which you unlock for the roster, as you are tasked with moving your way through a flow-chart of events that lead to the end of the mode. ![]() There are some missing pieces to the roster, which I’ll get into shortly, but it’s most of the wrestlers you’d hope to have the ability to use in a WWE game. There are currently 70 wrestlers to choose from, though some of them have to be unlocked. ![]() You can also play tournaments online, which could lend itself to some fun for gamers who aren’t able to take advantage of couch play options. You’re dropped in the midst of a four-person brawl and you gain XP rewards and other goodies for eliminating players and simply remaining in the ring. The King of the Battleground is essentially an online Royal Rumble that never stops. The online options are arguably just as strong. The other match types are solid as well, and it’s possible you’ll find your own gem in the options which also include: traditional singles and tag-team, tornado tag-team, Triple-Threat, Fatal Four-Way, and Gauntlet. It’s a pick-up-and-play experience that drew some funny outbursts from my son and I as he helped me evaluate the game from a couch play standpoint. Again, the gameplay component here doesn’t require deep understanding. Essentially, you have to incapacitate your opponent long enough for you to fill your money meter, which then unlocks the ability to escape the cage. The Money-In-The-Bank-like incorporation was a smart way to make users earn the ability to exit the cage. The Steel Cage matches were the most fun for me during this evaluation. This too has some button-mashing, but it’s quick and the on-screen prompt is easy to follow. The Royal Rumble is similar to a Gauntlet Match–which is also in the game–but to eliminate opponents you have to toss them over the top rope. I like WWE 2K BG’s take on the Royal Rumble and Steel Cage bouts the most of any of the match types in the game. There are several fun offline components. ![]() WWE 2K BG finds a sweet spot in this way. Some people hate this approach to gameplay, but there is a happy medium between the old school Track and Field games and something that doesn’t use button mashing at all. Also includes additional 1100 Golden Bucks to unlock additional WWE Superstars and legends.The grappling moves are easy to initiate, a little tougher to block–which is fine–and the button-mashing aspects are excessive. The WWE 2K Battlegrounds Digital Deluxe Edition includes three versions of each Superstar along with the pre-order bonus, Edge. Raise some hell with Stone Cold Steve Austin, lay the SmackDown with the Attitude Era version of The Rock and get rowdy with Ronda Rousey.
