  WWE All Stars was a good wrestling game when it first shipped to stores this past Spring. Not a great one -- since it had a few issues holding it back -- but still a good one, with a fun premise of making the past and present of the WWE come together and collide. And now, eight months later on the 3DS, it's still a good game. It's just disappointing that the developers only added a handful of mostly inconsequential extra modes in the interim, and didn't take that extra time available to fix a few of the first versions' flaws.

  WWE All Stars pays as much tribute to the classics as it does the games and superstars of today, reinvigorating the wrestling genre with a fast, fun pace that most anyone could appreciate

  Some people may find this off-putting, but wrestling fans are likely to be won over by the sheer glee of performing the over-the-top signature moves and finishers. WWE All Stars obeys the spirit of the WWE, if not the letter, providing some of the liveliest action that sports entertainment video games have seen in a while.

  Like many of its predecessors it's easier to recommend this as a rental than as a full-price release, but if you're yearning for the heady days of Hulkamania, All Stars may provide a welcome hit of nostalgia.

  Unquestionably, WWE All Stars features some of the most addicting arcade-style gameplay seen in any wrestling title to date. But the lack of content in some areas will leave you wanting more. And you will want more because of the fun-factor. Aside from the gameplay, the roster and over the top action really helps to set WWE All Stars apart from other wrestling games.

  9.0

  By moving away from what pro-wrestling actually is -- slow, fake, melodramatic -- WWE All-Stars is closer to what we imagine wrestling to be -- fast, violent, an epic battle between two, three or even four men who unleash not one, but dozens of blows and acrobatics that defy mortality and take a folding chair to Isaac Newton's head
