WWE All Stars

WWE All Stars, a professional wrestling video game from 2011, was put out by THQ across multiple platforms: the Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii, and Xbox 360. The roster mixes contemporary WWE talent with past stars, and the matches emphasize arcade-style action, over-the-top animations, and combo-based combat, setting it apart from the more simulation-focused WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series. It holds the distinction of being the only WWE game released for the Nintendo 3DS and the final one to appear on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable.

The gameplay features exaggerated moves, like John Cena leaping high for his Attitude Adjustment or Triple H's Pedigree sending shockwaves across the ring. It blends fighting and wrestling mechanics, with combos crucial both on the ground and in mid-air. The game includes three main modes: Path of Champions, a ten-match gauntlet with storylines tied to The Undertaker, Randy Orton, and D-Generation X; Fantasy Warfare, which pits legends against modern counterparts in 15 dream matches, unlocking characters like Eddie Guerrero and The Miz; and Exhibition, for custom matches. A Create-a-Wrestler mode lets players build their own superstar, borrowing movesets and finishers from existing wrestlers.

Development was handled by THQ San Diego for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, while Subdued Software worked on the other versions. It was the first WWE game from THQ San Diego, whose team included veterans from Midway San Diego, the studio behind the first TNA Impact! game. Designer Sal Divita, previously involved with WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, also worked on this title. The game was announced at E3 in June 2010 alongside WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011. Downloadable content arrived in waves: the first included Ted DiBiase and his son, with Honky Tonk Man free for PS3 users in April 2011, while Xbox 360 users got R-Truth for free as compensation for delays. Later packs added Chris Jericho, The Road Warriors, Jerry Lawler, Michael Hayes, and Mark Henry. The Nintendo 3DS version, released in November 2011, introduced two new modes—Score Scramble and Gauntlet—and included all DLC characters, though it removed the option to assign finishers different from the chosen moveset. Online multiplayer servers were shut down on April 28, 2013, as confirmed by WWE Games' interactive marketing manager.
