Got the game yesterday and its okay so far. Its more challenging, but only because of the AI reversal rate.
I've only played RTWM (my policy is to complete the story mode first in every game I play), finished it in a day which was a bit disappointing considering that in previous games it takes me much longer to complete all the stories. Also, you only get to play as Sheamus (heel), Triple H and a CAW, and it just feels like you have to do a boring backstage brawl in between every fucking match in the ring. And not even a fucking trace of CM Punk? Dammit...
So the story was a bit underwhelming apart from a few standout moments. Then again I've still gotta begin Universe Mode and all the creation stuff, so I'm expecting a change of pace with more to do. This game still has the chance to immerse me.
