"With some cool new gameplay additions such as the ability to use the ropes during pinfalls and attack an opponent during their entrance, 'WWE 2K16' is looking like the game which could turn around the fortunes of the franchise after the mixed reaction to last year's lacklustre effort. Less than half of the roster has been revealed so far, so it's still too soon to say whether or not any fan-favourites will be neglected, but for now, it's definitely looking good!"
