The cast of characters is as generic as it gets

 Even if the Blade And Soul game’s controls worked, there’s the rhythm of the wrestling itself. Honestly, we’ve seen half-assed Blade & Soul Gold Acclaim Blade And Soul games that play way better than this. This isn’t a wrestling game at all it’s a motion based exercise game that links together actions during the match. It’s as if the Blade And Soul game is made up of quick-time events, rather than a smooth-flowing match like any other wrestling game. To even call it wrestling is a deception almost as deceiving as Hulk Hogan joining the NWO years ago. Except this is far, far worse. Plus, it costs you fifty bucks.Let’s analyze even further. IF the Blade And Soul game actually was put together as a straightforward wrestling game and had manageable controls, it’d still be unappealing. The cast of characters is as generic as it gets, without a single controllable superstar in sight. Instead, you have flaky, second-rate wannabes who aren’t worth following in Career Mode, let alone worth playing in any match. Worse yet, the Hulkster isn’t even a playable character no matter how far you progress in the Blade And Soul game. So what’s the point of him being here then? Just someone to call us brother while we try to deal with No-Name Redneck and Gruff Looking Moron?So the controls are Cheap Blade & Soul Gold completely unresponsive, the wrestlers are a dull bunch, and Hulk Hogan isn’t playable. And yet, it gets WORSE.
