While there is a functional tutorial that hits on many of the title’s high points and most important inner workings, it’s hardly enough to acclimate someone to what all is needed to play the game successfully. To that end, newbies of the series or genre will almost certainly be overwhelmed by the complete control players are given. Options, options, options Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 has more choices to make than one can shake a stick at, almost to a fault, if players are not totally aware of what they are getting into when they first fire up the game. In truth, the name of the proverbial game is options. This truly takes the WWE Universe mode from the 2K franchise and ratchets it up to 11. What that actually means is handling aspects of the business such as signing talent, scripting storylines and matches, as well as dealing with backstage drama that can spillover into how successful the company is, in an effort to reign supreme within the pro rasslin’ world. See, TEW is all about running one’s own wrestling organization. In actuality, this is the series’ fifth mainline installment (that’s not counting the four Total Extreme Warfare games that essentially spawned the TE Wrestling series), and as such is a refined beast of a simulation experience. But if the prospect of being your own Vince McMahon has ever even been in the slightest bit interesting to you, then Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 is the game to play.Īs one may infer from the title, this isn’t Total Extreme Wrestling’s first rodeo. Let it be known now that this game isn’t for the faint of heart this is truly a niche title that lays on choice after choice to the point of almost drowning the player in menus. Don’t let the lack of true aesthetics fool you this is a full-bodied experience that will suck in any gamer who has the urge to run a wrestling company from the ground up. There are hardcore simulation games, and then there’s Total Extreme Wrestling.
