Using This Guide

This game guide is a response to a huge re-brand of a game that we have all come to know and love for more than a decade.

The WWE franchise has simply been one of the most fun and versatile action simulations out there, and, then, we as fans get the opportunity to tune in every week to see our favorite Superstars perform live and the WWE story lines unfold.

This new version of the game combines the best of the past with the processing power of new technology to provide us with in-your-face, impressive gameplay.

Camera cuts and ring physics bring you closer to the action.

Use this guide to immediately transform your experience to a pick-up-and-play, so you can dive right into the fray from the top rope.

In the very first content section—“Controlling Your Superstar”—we’ve broken down sections to make each move and match type clearly described with button presses at the ready so you’re not searching through the entire host of game commands mid-match.

The new features are broken down, and the extensive story walkthrough in the “ Road to WrestleMania ” chapter covers all objectives and will help you pace through the face-bashing action.

In the “Creations” chapter, you’ll find out just to what level you can make this game yours, and we even bring in some “surprise guests” to help demonstrate customization features.

We’ve also included all Superstars, Divas, and Legends in our guide—including the unlockable and downloadable characters—and our breakdowns on the profile pages include strategy and even tips straight from the development team. Enjoy the guide and WWE ’12 !
