I thought 2010 improved upon 2009 in some ways. If you liked 2009, you should check it out 2010 at some point. And the WWE Universe modes in 2011, 12 and 13 were also pretty cool.

Eh, wouldn't say best, but there were some things I loved in it as an old school wrestling fan and there some things I was a bit disappointed with, but it still had it's moments.

Here Comes The Pain. :3

In all honesty, I probably would be fine with 13 due to it having some of my favorites feature from past games, Universe Mode, old WWF characters, Attitude Era storyline, ect. Was mad fun reliving those cool moments despite an okay combat system and unfair reversal timing.
