THQ WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2006

Good Game

Posted Dec 18, 2005 - The game is extremely fun to play and the season mode is good however if you are on Smackdown you get the running Teddy Long over storyline every time. The storylines are good though when you get them and they are better thought up than in the previous versions. The gameplay has a lot to be desired for in some respects. THQ havent quite mastered the manouverabilty in some aspects of the challenges and if you are not on the same height of playing surface things start to look silly. The AI is stupid if you are in a tag match. The entrances are amazing, paticularly with NWO Hogan as it's in black and white. There are also options to create an entrance step by step including firework control and lighting. The unlockable things are good but the fact that you have to get a PSP to unlock Jake The Snake is overly demanding and stupid. You shouldn't need to go out and get anything to have the full benefits of this game except broadband. THQ had their hands out on this one. There are noticable mistakes in the games playability for example sometimes when you throw an oponent into the corner they remain stationary and just slide there like a greased statue. If the countering was more realistic aswell this game may of been a better credit to the Smackdown series. The game is definately worth having but is very far from perfect. Be prepared to feel ripped off on the Jake The Snake thing.

Smackdown vs Raw, A let down

Posted Nov 14, 2005 - Somebody new was obviously hired to make this years game and he should be fired. He made it way worse. The game only looks better and has more to do. Also the fans get ripped off as you need a PSP and the game on the PSP to unlock one of the legends. Yeah, great idea. I liked all the smackdowns except this one. HCTP and SVR were much better. They should go back to the drawing board. The season mode is better but what's the point when the gameplay sucks? I love WWE but I have to be honest, the gameplay will make you bang your head against the wall as it is so annoying. Be a fool and buy this game. You cant even change the rosters like you could in HCTP. Also the AI is rubbish as in a tag match they are so good at breaking up your pins and submissions but when YOUR cpu controlled tag partner is needed he just stands there and does nothing. Hard? No just patheticly annoying. Believe it or not I am die hard wrestling fan too. I have all the other Smackdowns.

Great

Posted Nov 6, 2005 - It has some great great graphics as far as I can see. If I had a real picture, I'm almost sure the game will look the real thing. I heard it as over 100 matches. I guess it has all the title belts. I will have more info on it soon. You can have up to 6 players.

Smackdown versus Raw 2006

Posted Nov 18, 2005 - This game is definitely worth buying if you are a wrestling fan. This is by far the best wrestling game I have ever played. Unlike other wrestling video games, this one definitely keeps you hooked for many, many hours. Despite the new additions to the wrestling matches such as stamina and momentum, the gameplay is still pretty awesome. Buy it!!!

SvR2006 is a must have for WWE wrestling fans

Posted Nov 20, 2005 - Overall, this game simply rocks. Despite it's minor flaws here and there this game is very entertaining. It is one action packed title with many hours of wrestling entertainment. Create-A-Superstar is fun to make random characters that you want to see in the ring or in season mode. There's also capability to assign custom move sets or indivual moves for a created superstar as well as a custom entrance. Interact with every object in the environment in the Backstage brawl mode to cause the most damage to your opponent. The Divas wear hot outfits in the Fulfill Your Fantasy matches. As far as the "Reverse-crazy" AI opponent, I found customizable Options for the AI Reversal Rate for various attacks, grapples etc. YES, you can adjust the AI's gameplay mechanics individually! The new Stamina system can also be turned off for nonstop whoop @$$. This game is awesome. Get it.

SvR

Posted Jul 30, 2006 - i have over $800,000 on the game, and can't spend any of it, cause i can't pass reverse the casket, if i could do that, i would have the game beat in a few hours, they could of made it like the first SvR, where you can change shows for the wrestlers, and they could of made the season modes stronger, and changed the smackdown one a little bit for different wrestlers(instead of always T'Lo getting hit by a car)& also, in tag matches, your tag team partener doesnt' know what hes doing, in 6man tag, its a little better..overall, i would recommend buying this
