While the co-op is a bit lacking in depth, what is there is extremely enjoyable and flexible. It’s incredibly accessible, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and when you get four people together into a match it’s a ton of fun. I think WWE All-Stars is one of those perfect party games like Smash Bros. At times we were able to “pass” the other wrestlers between us for different grapples and moves and if one of us ever got pinned the other was almost always there to rescue. While there’s no co-op moves per se, there are things you can do in co-op you just can’t do in single player. In a way this method is a lot more fun than a traditional tag team style - as my partner and I are able to support each other when we found ourselves in trouble. Players are limited to a 2 vs 2 scenario where everyone is in the ring at the same time. Sadly co-op is only available locally and in the game’s exhibition mode in Tornado Tag Team. So there’s a lot to do here.but where’s the co-op? After these two modes you have your standard exhibition matches and online play. This mode is particularly impressive as its boosted by video footage from both eras with a particular theme for every match - like greatest big man - Andre the Giant or The Big Show. After them there’s the Legends vs Superstars Mode which pits classic wrestlers against the modern day counterpart. These 10 match story based modes allow you to choose a wrestler and face off in a matches from 8 different styles, from the likes of 1 vs 1 to Steel Cage matches. The three Path of the Champions campaigns are most of the game’s meat. In terms of gameplay modes, WWE All-Stars has a few options. Thankfully, they can be disabled after you’ve gotten your fill. So if you want to experience all the goodies to go along with the start of a match expect a good 2 to 3 minutes before you actually start to wrestle if you end up watching those entrances.
There is a downside though, the game has some atrocious loading times. The game’s presentation is also top notch with all the ring entrances and play by play you’d come to expect from the WWE.
