None of the reviews were bad, just incredibly average. The wrestlers don't have generic moves, obviously some of the moves are generic, as it's their first game and time was limited, but when you're playing as AJ Styles it feels different to playing as Hernandez for example. The career mode isn't as bad as the reviews claim, it's actually pretty fun, and the Tag Matches with Eric Young, although slightly flawed, are damn fun.
The gameplays brilliant as well, the way the moves flow is superb. The aerial moves are fantastic, jumping from the ring onto the guy on the outside is something that has been missing from the Smackdown games.
The only issues I have are the lack of matches, chair's being legal in every match and also no rope breaks. Apart from that, the game's bloody fun to play. The graphics are superb, the animations are stunning, and all the moves and reversals look excellent. The core gameplay is far, far, better than Smackdown, and far easier to pick up and play. Ultimate X is difficult though, only won 1 out of 3 matches so far.
