How to Decide
WWE '12 is known for its smoother animation, custom entrances and deep customization options, and is primarily used by WWE fans and sports game players. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: WWE All Stars leans into arcade‑style, exaggerated physics and a mixed‑era roster for casual, party play; WWE '13 emphasizes the Attitude Era presentation with live crowd audio and the Predator control system for precise grappling; WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 focuses on the inclusion of ECW legends and a Struggle Submission system that adds depth to grappling mechanics.
When weighing these titles, look at (1) the depth and flexibility of creation tools – WWE '12 and WWE '13 both offer extensive wrestler and arena editors while All Stars and SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 are more limited; (2) multiplayer scope – split‑screen local play is standard across all, but only WWE '12 and WWE '13 provide robust online ranked modes; (3) platform coverage – WWE '12 and its peers are limited to PS3/Xbox 360, whereas All Stars also appears on PS2, affecting availability; (4) roster focus – WWE '12 offers a current‑superstar roster, All Stars mixes classic and modern legends, WWE '13 centers on the late‑1990s Attitude Era, and SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 adds ECW talent; (5) graphical fidelity – newer titles like WWE '12 and WWE '13 have smoother animations compared to the dated graphics of All Stars and SmackDown vs. Raw 2008.
