You might also notice a plethora of new lighting effects that are designed to mimic the way that WWE's on screen product is presented. The game uses the same graphical rendering engine that's employed by countless other top tier titles, but it somehow manages to get much more out of it than so many other products have in the past. Slick animations featuring extremely detailed character models might very well be the first thing that long-time fans notice besides the sound track.

While they might add a few extra wrestlers, you're not going to see major leaps in the way that the game is designed. Many annual sports games fall into the habit of making only a few change and releasing a new title each year. On top of this, it offers a number of advances over previous versions of the title. It comes with a complete roster of superstars that includes popular fan favorites like Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins.

WWE 2K18 is a professional wrestling game based on all of WWE's integrated sports entertainment brands.
