ranging from Brute strength Power House, to technical and more acrobatic wrestler, may tempt the player to change their style of play. It’s quite generic in essence, the saving grace being how playing as a different type of wrestler. The story campaign involves different types of matches and thereby come into contact and sometimes conflict, with other wrestlers.

You play through 7 rookies who are put through training by ‘Stone Cold Steve Austin’. Around 20% into the campaign and I felt it was a chore, which is definitely the last thing Developers Saber Interactive would have wanted. It was a timid affair and honestly, a slog to go through. There are no surprise events happening or anything out of the scripted ordinary. Royal Rumble, Steel Cage, Fatal Four-Way are some of the well-known and familiar matches the game put you through when playing the campaign and occasionally being challenged by a superstar or tag team matches can also be expected.Īlthough I liked the Comic style used to progress the story, it was quite sublime and as fun, as it is having Stone Cold being our mentor, he was quite a subdued character (story-wise) and does not offer much to spice or turn things up other than follow characters around. The campaign if followed directly in a straight line can be finished in approximately 3 hours but if you want to make more money, unlock more wrestlers either male or female, you can follow the branches of the story up or down and this puts you through pretty much all the different type of matches. The game offers a campaign which has a linear pathway to unlock more superstars, collect bucks which allow you to unlock pretty much everything in the game such as, progress the story through a comic strip style narrate, unlock more power up’s and pretty much go through different arena’s and locations from swamplands to Detroit. From a technical point of view, Battlegrounds does not require much to run, nor space required, coming in at under 10 Gigs of memory. It may also seem, to take the “Heat” away from the WWE2K disappointment, Battleground’s inception was to detract away from the realistic style of wrestling expected of such games.
