Likewise, the title's Road To Wrestlemania wasn't the best version of the story mode as the addition of an unnecessary open-world brought with it poor lip-syncing and numerous needless brawls.
Although, neither mode was awful, and combined with some solid gameplay made for an overall okay wrestling game. The arcadey gameplay was a blast and a nice change of pace to the more realistic style the SmackDown Vs.
