WWE '12 on the Wii attempts to refresh the wrestling series with a revamped combat system and the ambitious Road to Wrestlemania story mode. While the core gameplay offers some satisfying moments, it feels like an incomplete transition, suffering from simplified controls and clunky execution. The Road to Wrestlemania campaigns deliver entertaining storylines, but ultimately feel limited in scope. WWE '12 has the groundwork for a solid experience, yet lacks the technical polish and depth to make it truly shine on the Wii.
