i also agree all-stars seemed like it didn't care how over-the-top it looked, l0l
but it definitely looked like a fun wwe game which none of the other games have been, i think.

I feel video games in general are made to be too realistic/cinematic. I don't care about how many hairs you can fit on Daniel Bryan's beard, I just wanna f*ck people up, y'know? My favourite wrestling game is SVR 2007. Good graphics, decent story, GM mode, and fun gameplay. Almost all wrestling games before it were fun. After it though, it started transitioning into this ultra realistic stuff. I thought 2008's 24/7 Mode was interesting, but poorly executed, and the games became less fun to play. Things picked up up again with 13, but the games once again took a nosedive with 14 and crashed into the ocean with 15. It's a shame. I felt WWE All-Stars was the best wrestling game I've played in a long time, purely due to how unrealistic it is. It went for that over-the-top arcade feel. I was glad they did. Btw, that TNA game was in development for a while IIRC. I own it. It came with a DVD documentary talking about the game's development, and it had some original Impact matches. Sadly, this bonus DVD is the best thing about it. The game follows the story of Suicide (at this time he was a character exclusive to the game but a while later TNA decided to create a real wrestler based off the character) and basically Suicide is on a role in TNA, LAX beat the crap out of him, and his face is reconstructed (this is where you can customise him) and you have to fight your way back to TNA. It plays like a realistic version of All-Stars (I.e, repetitive controls but in this game it isn't arcade style so it's less enjoyable) and yeah. The game is boring. It's the only TNA game released that wasn't on mobile. Namco created one on mobile and it sucks, and another mobile exclusive is in the works. This game also had a DS port, but that port featured Hulk Hogan so yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.  Some people tell me I'm an old man. This may be true.
But it also means I really grew up with a SNES and PS1. The graphics suck now, especially on the ps1. But dammit, at the time those games sucked me in. I can still play some of them and have a retro blast.
Its because in the end, the graphics only matter a little. They are a tool that is used to serve a story. Like, plenty of CGI action movies come out, but no one cares because only a few of them are good.
Same with games. We forget about the graphics if the story takes us in. I swear I remember yanking myself to FF7, and while I still love the game, I look at it sometimes and laugh. Those blocky characters are so awkward!!! But it will be with me forever.
Unlike poorly rendered Booker T.
