2K Games has launched an arcade version of its popular wrestling game. This one is called WWE 2K Battlegrounds. Instead of the perfectly chiselled characters from the original game, you get a cartoonish version of your favourite WWE wrestlers. The game doesn't take itself seriously, which is actually a good thing. WWE 2K is notorious for its learning curve, but Battlegrounds on the other hand has the easiest controls ever. Anyone can quickly get into the game with just a few minutes of practice.

That said, there is very little variety in the basic moves through the entire roster. In fact, only special moves are different and that doesn't offer enough variation to make this game addictive. Add that to the appalling number of micro transactions for every little thing, including the unlocking of the more interesting wrestlers and outfits. If you don't want to pay, the road to unlocking is filled with mindless hours of grinding. The story mode is the best way to unlock characters and grind.
