SmackDown vs. RAW is a great game. Generally it is better than last year's game. The WWE Universe thing is kind of confusing. I can say the same for the updated Road to Wrestle Mania. But when you get used to it, is very easy to use. I like the superstar’s entrances and of course the great variety of matches this game has. But on the downside, I have to say that the new unlockables thing is very complicated. I would recommend that you buy the unlockables package. It just cost 0.99 cents and you do not have to break your head looking on internet to know how to unlock all that "Supposed to Be" NEW STUFF. Other thing I have to complain about is the facts that some wrestlers do not look like the wrestlers in real life. In facts those same wrestlers looked more real in last year's game. Finally, something that I am very upset about is that they did not change that confusing and very bad reversal system. Since they putted that "One Button Reversal", blocking a punch has become tougher than getting an A on a university class. It is too confusing and in my case, to win a match, you almost have to be unhittable because after you get hit, "The real problem starts". Besides all of those "Hits and Misses" in an overall rating, the game is pretty good. I hope THQ one day changes that reversal system. That is the most ridiculous thing they have done.Read full review
My last SvR game was in '07 and I have left the wrestling world since but recently returned because well. I just can't resist. Anyways, I started looking into the game series to see how things went.. LONG story short.. Must have IF you haven't played the SvR series since 07-08. PRO's: Huge in depth created modes, caws, move sets, entrances and story designer. Realistic weapon system and physics. Road to Wrestlemania isn't strong but still is fun. Great online community. CONS: Legend difficulty is fun but A.I ends up being to easy, Universe mode is a mix of old GM / exhibitions which watches your every move and tries to make a story out of it.. it's in cons cause it has it's flaws list. It looks to have potential to be better in the future though!
This year, it seemed like THQ and Yukes were listening to the player feedback from last year's installment. If you liked the No Mercy/Wrestlemania games days, add that element to the SD vs Raw series and you have replay value through the roof. I liked the physics in this game, which make for some impressive possibilities. I also liked the create a finisher in the corner. Not having to do a lot of matches is gone so you can make a 99 rating player if you chose to, but has been evened out with having to do matches and rank up to a title match. There is just too much I liked about this year's Smackdown vs Raw 2011. Is it perfect? No, but fun all the same.
If you're a fan of the series, you'll enjoy this installment. I find that the WWE Universe mode, at times, can be rather annoying when you want to put titles on the line. I'm also not too keen on the new CAW features. A few tweaks here and there from 2010, but all-in-all, nothing that screams: NEW!!! Has promising downloading content with it's all-access feature, but it's still too early to tell.
Well I expected more from WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011 but it did leave a few bad impressions. First of all, the graphics weren't as great as I had anticipated, too many glitches through out the game. Also, it gets pretty repetetive after awhile(especially when playing a skilled opponent) because its so easy to counter moves. But its has its moments through out the game but can get boring quickly. The best thing about it would be customizing you're player, they give plenty of options to do that.
