But don’t worry you can unlock many wrestlers… if you’re willing to pay the price. Why play as either of them when you can play as the Big Show or Stephanie McMahon (who hasn’t wrestled in at least five years). Want to play as the Woman’s Raw World Champion, Asoka? Sorry she’s locked as well. Want to play as the WWE Raw World Heavyweight Champion, Drew McIntyre? Sorry he’s locked. There are approximately 12 male and 12 female selectable wrestlers right off the bat, with some strange choices as to whose unlocked immediately. Unfortunately, upon booting up the game you’ll notice you’re extremely limited as far as selectable characters. Then seeing all the planned DLC wrestlers, really raised my expectations of having a gigantic roster to play quick, easy to play action with some buddies. Seeing the likes of Yokozuna, Mankind, Jake the Snake, and most of the current WWE superstars had me pretty excited.
Lets start with the game’s roster, which prelaunch showed a ton of included wrestlers (70!) with even more planned as DLC. Also as the resident Raslin fan I can be a bit harsh with these releases ( see my WWE 2K20 review). I need to preface this review with saying that this release is somewhat of a budget title (remember that “somewhat” for later), coming in at $39.99. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is an arcade wrestling game, with wild moves and over the top caricatures of WWE Superstars and we haven’t seen anything like it since WWE All Stars. After the critically panned (including yours truly) WWE 2K20, 2K decided to take a break from the simulation WWE franchise and finally give us something different. In a very untraditional year we are being introduced to a very untraditional WWE game.
