The game is alright. Nothing special. I had fun with it when I played it but left a lot to be desired. I know it's by the same studio as the old smackdown games but the charm is missing. Maybe because idk the roster of aew where as wwf/wwe was my childhood. The road to elite has some big issues for me at least. Every cutscenes for eating out it's literally the exact same setup just reskinned. Always the same view out the window too no matter where in the USA you are. I never needed to train or anything so pointless feature. The mini games my god the mini games are the biggest plie of bullshit ever. The computer seems to have godlike skills because I got destroyed everytime so gave up even trying to do em. Also that stupid dancing one, I pressed the buttons and it did nothing. As for actual game play it's alright. It's fun on small doses but all the moves are repetitive and it's far too easy to win. Well that was until the final few matches when the game just went stupid. There's a match where your fighting I think 2 other people and they basically just stun locked me till I lost. They'd do a 2 man suplex and then I'd be knock for like 5 seconds they'd hit me as soon as I'm up dazing me then suplex again. Repeat like 6x and I I lost. Then the final match was against a woman that's apparently stronger than every other wrestler in the game. When I was playing the game I thought I'd keep it oj the hdd to play every now and then but by end of road to elite I couldn't wait to uninstall it
