28 year fan of WWE, and played every wrestling game since "Wrestlemania" on NES. I liked the SvR series but it had gotten a tad stale.
WWE 12 is a complete overhaul. The Campaign is solid, good story but a little aggrivating with some objectives.
The controls are much more intuitive. those of you who mash buttons will find that the game doesn't do the same move 50 times in a row, but it responds to the situation(how damaged opponent is, where in the ring you are).
The physics is spot on, and you can even interupt moves when you are the odd man out, a feature long overdue. You can also target limbs with the target system, which is great when you need a submission. Previous games some wrestlers would have an arm submission but no moves to work the arm, creating unwinnable submission matches.
Other than that, the customization, and Universe mode make this the greatest wrestling game EVER(No Mercy is overrated anyway, get over it.) Customize wrestlers, rings, videos, stables and even create your own virtual WWE brand, and run it as the GM. Make storylines, share your creations online..........this is more a sandbox game than people will realize.
Multiplayer is a lot less laggy than previous editions as well.
Surpassed all my expectations. SvR moved WWE into the next gen graphically, but this is the first true next gen WWE game, not just last gen with nice visuals.
