WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw

THE GOOD:
Grafs is better and finally you are able to break a submission move on a partner.
Generally the inmatch stuff have been improved alot, except for the difficulty..

THE BAD:
Too few wrestlers, there should have been more legends and more of the current superstars.
The season is too short.
Hardest difficulty is way way way too easy!
Instead of only being able to make belts for 1v1 then there should also be tag team belts.
For the PPV there should be a rating for how good a show you put on like there was way back in the day.
Ohh and most important!!! Make the damn season for 2 player too, how many smackdown games can you miss that in!

SUMMARY:
I rated the game 4 (I'd sell your soul to get me one of these.) only because it's Smackdown and i love WWE, and yes i would sell my soul to get the latest Smackdown game any day, even if it's not perfekt yet..

THE GOOD:
Legends Music!
Parking Lot Brawl
The Divas
Ortons new MUSIC
Bret Hart
Season Mode
Ability to use Champs in Season Mode
HHH's new Titanation

THE BAD:
Iron Sheik isn't on here
Eugene Isnt on here
Lita isn't on here
Stephanie McMahon. *sniff* I wish she was on here
No Nikolie Volkoff
No Hogan
No Lesnar
No Goldberg

SUMMARY:
This is a great game, but I really wish it had more characters and vehicles to use as weapons. batista don't have his own music. Flair doesnt have his own music. No Hogan, No Sheik, No Volkoff, No Cruiserweight Titles, no World Tag Titles, No WE Tag Titles, No New US Title( Cena Customized), No Steiner, No Bishoff to fight, no Coach to fight, no Womens Title, No Hardcore Extra Areas, like Time Square, No Badass Undertaker, No Buried Alive Matches, No Eugene, No Motercycle, and NO Stone Cold Steve Austin. All in all, I say it was a good game

THE GOOD:
This game offers a very good grappling system, and detailed graphics. This game also has a long life span which means, if your a wrestling fan and liked the smackdown series for the ps2, you will not regret buying this game. This game features a good storyline with voiceovers done by the superstars themselves.

THE BAD:
The a.i [artificial inteligence] is not very good, and this game is not worth playing if it is not in legend difficulty. Also the hardcore is not very good, I mean in "backstage" brawls there is only only backstage arena.

SUMMARY:
This is a very good game, good graphics, good gameplay and very entertaining, I definetly recommend it, trust me. The only thing that you might not find cool about this game is that the voice-overs don't match the superstars lips, well maybe that's not so important, but I just thought you would like to know.

THE GOOD:
very good graphics(especially the audience looked real)
lots of wrestlers to choose from
real entrance music makes it more realistic
voice-overs were cool
LOTS of side challenges
Cool music
good story line
elimination chamber is amazing
numerous matches to choose from(including blood match)
amazing detailed wrestlers
easy controls
Parking Lot Brawl match is a really great match
*I like the way you could smash their arm in the door*

THE BAD:
Left out quite a few roster wrestlers
voice-overs sound like they are in a studio
limited backstage areas
story line starts to repeat itself

SUMMARY:
I REALLY enjoyed this game, i would recommend it to any wrestling fan. The audio was amazing, the entrances were great, i loved the detail of the wrestlers, and especially the new matches were incredible. I liked the way that you could bash the opponents into different car parts in the Parking Lot Brawl...

THE GOOD:
Commentary, voiceovers, Caw, Improved match types and gameplay tactics. Graphics

THE BAD:
Online, soundtrack(more songs) Could use a improved roster.....Too small of a roster to compare with Def Jam Fight for NY

SUMMARY:
Graphics 9.3
Sound 7.0
Fun Factor 9.5
Value 9.5
Gameplay 9.4
This game is awesome. I recommend this to all wrestling freakoziods and hulkmaniacs. The Graphics are AWESOME, thanks to a 40% improved polygon count. Season Mode is new and definitely imporoved from last year, with the addition of voiceovers. With the new introduction of Clean and Dirty meters, it gives the game a feel of realism to it's already solid touch. CAW rocks and has more options. Superstar stats are, well for some superstars at least... WAY OFF. This is the best wrestling game of the year. Make some noise for WWE Smack Down! VS Raw!, the best wrestling game of the year, hands down!

THE GOOD:
New legends
Fantastic Facial Expressions and detail
Super fast loading time
Mostly up to date
Challenge mode
Chop Battles
Start of match Mini - Games
Superstar Voiceover and Commentary
Totally revamped Season Mode
Superb replay value
Cool music
Online Mode
Bets Create a Superstar mode around
Clean or Dirty
Create a pay-per-view and create a championship

THE BAD:
No:Hogan,Lesnar,Goldberg,Volkoff,Eugene,Miss Jackie,Christy,Kenzo Suzuki or Heidenreich
Occasional non - realistic match outcome
No decent original caw music
Lip sync sometimes wayyyy off
No Title belts apart from 6: wwe undisputed,world heavyweight,united states,cruserweight,intercontinental,and womans.
small backstage area
occasional strange AI Behaivior
unable to copy cd's for theme music

SUMMARY:
Well, as good ol' JR would say,"oh my God, it's Smackdown v.s Raw! Sports...

THE GOOD:
-New improved Graphics
-Updated Roster including new people such as John Bradshaw Layfield
-Much better legends
-Double commentary! Choose from JR/King or Cole/Tazz
-New moves
-New storylines
-Create a belt
-Create a PPV
-Better gameplay
-Everyone apart from Stacy Keibler has their music(including legends)
-All new menu music that is not horrible to the ears like HCTP's music

THE BAD:
-Wrestlers that were not included but should of been: Lita, Eugene, William Regal, Nunzio, Orlando Jorden and a few others
-Wrestlers like Chuck Plaumbo, Garrison Cade & A-Train got in the game.
-No Tag titles
-No Cruiserweight title
-No Woman's title
-Some voice overs suck like Chavo Guerreros
-Season is kinda short and goes on the same
-Kurt Angle can't be used in the game cause he is general manager
-Jericho acts like a heel
-They think that woman polygons are sexy
-Take my advice, JR & King suck and keep...

THE GOOD:
~ Improved graphics and gameplay
~ Challenge mode is great for when you cant be bothered for season mode
~ Net play is a great addition
~ Create mode is brilliant, you can add the belts which didnt make it
~ Season mode is very good
~ More addictive than HCTP

THE BAD:
~ Alot of the storylines in season are rubbish
~ Not much of a step-forward from HCTP

{Try not to get your expectations too high if you are considering to buy this.}

SUMMARY:
Smackdown games have always been brilliant in my opinion, and this latest addition 'Smackdown VS Raw' is no exception!

Smackdown VS Raw is astonishing, amazing, and addictive, as i'm sure alot of you will agree. Here Comes The Pain was a masterpiece, and as its looking, Smackdown VS Raw is just as good, if not better.

But why not a perfect 5? Well, despite many drastic improvements, this game feels as if something is missing. It just isnt much of a...

Graphix- 4.8/5.0 Graphix have changed a lot from HCPT. The wrestlers look more real and nice.

Audio- 3.6/5.0 The announcers are pretty stupid. They say the same things too often and sometimes their comments sound stupid. The wrestler voice overs suond stupid too...

Story- 4.9/5.0 The story (if it can be called a story) is fantastic, but too rectilinear or something. Theres nothing else to say about it

Game- 4.8/5.0 The playing itself is good too. Just some wrestling, nothing too complicated.

Just a good wrestling game. But remember don't buy this game if you don't watch wrestling on TV.

THE GOOD:
Online capabilities, create-a-pay-per-view, create-a-championship, better storylines, 6-man tornado tag team elimination chamber match, parking lot brawl, better legends this time around, dirty/clean meters, ultra heavyweight weight class, 40% increased polygons, more realistic create-a-wrestler mode

THE BAD:
Few superstars in roster, slower moves, fewer belts (only world, wwe, us and ic), small selection of matches in online (Bra and Panties and Singles).

SUMMARY:
This game has more pros than cons and seems a much better game than Here Comes the Pain, fewer superstars is not a problem to me because of the more advanced caw mode, I will be using the cab and cappv modes alot as well as the season mode, loads of people have flamed the game but, there is no point, simply don't buy the game, in my opinion this is one of the best (if not best) wrestling games in its Smackdown series, I like this game alot and I hope you enjoy it!
