Fun:
Okay so i've played wrestling games all the way back to the first PS2 game (Just bring it) and have enjoyed them, the best being Here comes the pain which was perfect and still quite playable today. SVR '10 is possibly the best of the SVR franchise, '11 improved on it in some sorts but ultimately disappointed.
WWE '12 had the tagline of "Bigger. Badder. Better." and in some respects it's true, it's bigger (universe mode is huge but very annoying) it's badder (for me the controls have taken a step backwards) and i guess overall it is better than SVR 11 but that's not saying much.
The main thing about these games that need to be perfect are the controls, now people are complaining that there is no tutorial? Check the options menu (game tutorial is clearly marked) but the controls are a lot more fiddly, button mashing makes an unwelcome return (nearly in every aspect of gameplay) the new grapple system is slow and so very repetitive. Matches feel like a chore now and are not enjoyable.
Road to Wrestlemania makes a return once again with even less freedom than before. You are forced to begin with play as the Irish born Sheamus, note the Irish as a big plot flaw within the story (United Kingdom?) backstage brawls are all too frequent and get very dull as you play along.
Universe mode has apparently been improved but still you can edit only one match on a card (this is 2011 right?) sometimes it can please with shocking story events.
Customising is improved this year with the sound addition of Create an arena which is pretty decent.
So, all in all i'm disappointed with this years effort. Things haven't changed a lot, believe me.

Fun:
reading through the reviews for this game, its hard to disagree with the possitive or the negative reviews. Basically this game represnts exactly what wwe is all about, it looks good and is entertaining. But at its core it fake and repetative.
Graphically you can not fault the game, it has all the moves and music that you would want. Where it faulters is in its game play, basically the designers came up with reversals as the way to make the game challenging, you use your right trigger to counter, if you do not get the timing right you will be hit by move after move, ending with you tearing your hair out. After a good few hours of play you learn to time your clicks, but overall the whole system of reversals leaves you with a feeling of random luck. If I am honest this is one of the few games where I stuck it on easy and turned of the AI. Once you do this the game is a blast, you can just sit back, win fights and enjoy the wwe show.
My only other complaint is the level of freedom, while you play there is a feeling of being stuck on tracks. I wanted to be able to recreate crazy moves where wrestlers would go into the crowd or throw people through the stage sets or dive of the stage sets. sadly there is a solid block of where you can and can not go, making thinking out side the box a none starter.
The custon arena's and characters are great, with loads of options. Having my home made wrestler walk into the road warriors "what a rush!" was a thrill.
Overall this game is going to be fun if you are into WWE, just do not expect deep game play or environmental freedom

Fun:
This is a good WWE game and far better then the last few attempts. However some of this is taken away by the difficulty of the Road to Wrestlemania modes (which you need to complete to unlock alot of wrestlers and other items, or pay for by Xbox points - more money spent - boo!), more dowloadable content that you have to pay for if you want them (extra Divas, the upcoming legends etc), and the fact that a large portion of the roster stays exactly the same from year to year. Then the fact the match types also never change, means that most fans will play this to death for a little while, and will then let it sit on the shelf or trade it in. I think'e it's a very good price at Amazon's £22.98 though, and if you are a WWE fan you'll have a blast while it lasts.
