Videogame Review, WWE 2K Battlegrounds for the Playstation 4 (PS4)

WWE 2K Battlegrounds reminds me of some wrestling games for the Nintendo Entertainment System.  That probably should be considered a good thing.  Of course, NES games in the wrestling genre were often fighting programs with strict limits on moves.  My PS4 video game console does provide us with high definition graphics for WWE 2K Battlegrounds.  Doesn’t it seem like everything in video could collapse at any moment?  This doesn’t always have to be the case.  You can “move around” in the fighting engine with a little bit of effective touch and contact if we’re to ignore those awkward moments of weapons mysteriously dropping; partial obedience of hits, kicks, and throws; and, definitely a mess to begin with for heat of the moment of sparks and glitter.  Let me test your knowledge of the Nintendo Entertainment System and NES wrestling games.  Do you remember… say… WWF WrestleMania Steel Cage Challenge?  I don’t think that’s a really great wrestling game.  But keep in mind that fighters have their moves and expressions of combat on a wonderful-looking ring.  WWE 2K Battlegrounds most certainly does hit the mark in terms of modern technology graphics somewhat.  In fact, if you look at the PS4 game from an angle, you’re going to think it’s a PS5 game!  That’s good news for players who don’t own a Playstation 5 yet.  Is the wrestling, fighting exciting?  Maybe.  But WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a heavy work of fantasy and I believe that fantasy gives a negative interpretation of the WWE legacy.  For example, consider the Big Show.  Why does the PS4 game contain Big Show as a “common” card?  Big Show is not common.  He’s a tall giant with massive powers of the knuckle sandwich and his feet’s too big for anyone less of height and body measurement.  We also need to observe Bret Hart’s entrance.  Why is Bret Hart having the flips and rotations of a lightweight wrestler?  I don’t think Bret Hart is a “featherweight” by any means and his entrance in WWE 2K Battlegrounds is very fake and unreal.  The PS4 wrestling game has fighters who generally bounce around a lot and the action grinds to a pause for incomplete movements.  I’m not joking!  Your wrestler will just drop a chair for no reason.  Running and walking are somewhat reliable.  And, yet, when my wrestlers move around, they’re like hurting stone and moments of visual error of look.  You’ll also run into bottom-of-the-barrel jokes about snakes and alligators.  We know that some people enjoy fascination for such lifestyles of dispute.  At times, when looking at my wrestling athlete, he seems too polite for any meaningful drama for a throw or a toss.  It does remind me of some problems I was having with the Nintendo Entertainment System.  So, while WWE 2K Battlegrounds does give a modern “look” of sorts, we’re running into even more problems concerning high definition video and graphics, because the video on my TV screen runs with hiccups and fantastic bugs.  When you see Big Show suddenly dropping his chair, and, appearing to lack confidence (although Big Show in real life is usually a strong man of confidence), you know there’s a problem.  And, a lot of players and gamers say they enjoy this game!  I think they’re being too nice about WWE’s self-defeating character seen from time to time.  I’m happy that I got this PS4 game for free.  But, if I’m to give more money than I could chew, there’s going to be problems and frustration ahead.
