>>8625554The main WWE series from Know Your Role up to 2007 is all kino. The original Smackdown is a shitty KYR beta and anything after 2007 is not worth playing. Except MAYBE 2k22 if you want a lot of community creations but the gameplay is pretty mid.
Anything developed by AKI is worth checking out. Including Def Jam. ESPECIALLY Def Jam.
Fire Pro is overrated as fuck and still too expensive if you want all the DLC (which you'll need if you want to download any creations). Unless you're the autistic type that gets joy out of "simming" and creating Excel spreadsheets, pass on it.
Day of Reckoning 2 is fun. You can easily pass on all the other Gamecube titles that are just inferior versions of it. Maybe play XIX for Revenge but then drop it once the novelty of the Hurricane murdering construction workers wears off.
Anything Acclaim made is shit. Anything WCW that isn't AKI is shit. Anything before 1995 is shit with the exception of Wrestlefest and Superstars. Battlegrounds was fucking awful, All Stars was fucking based. Rumble Roses is Here Comes the Pain with tits and the Wrestlemania arcade game is Mortal Kombat with Doink the Clown. Both are worth a try but avoid their sequels. I think that covers most of it.
