They said that WWE ' 12 not only managed to still bottle the core essence and style of the wrestling industry , it did it in a way that didn ' t sacrifice gameplay design and balance . If anything , the game ' s faults consist of attributes that ironically duplicate the WWE ' s own creative struggles . They said it was intense , hardcore , strategic , fun and you would never get bored of the variety and gameplay it had to offer . It has an 80 % overall from GameRankings . EGM gave it a 9 as well . Console Obsession gave it an 8 and Xbox magazine gave it a 7 . GameShark gave it a C - , saying that the series ' impact was disappearing . Gallery . " For more , please see : WWE 12 / Gallery "
