Smackdown Vs Raw

Reviewed by omemba on February 23, 2007  |  report this review

SmackDown! vs. Raw is a fun, full-featured wrestling game that brings some neat gameplay additions to the table, but you won't be able to shake the feeling that it isn't living up to its potential.
the season mode is now not the only way to earn cash, as you can also earn money by completing specific challenges in the game's challenge mode. SmackDown! vs. Raw also includes a couple of new features that provide some single-player longevity. While the create-an-animation mode has been axed, two new creation modes have been added: create-a-pay-per-view and create-a-belt features. Both are exactly what they sound like; the create-a-PPV mode gives you the opportunity to mix and match a card of up to eight matches using whatever arena, superstars, and stipulations you please, and the create-a-belt mode allows you to design a championship belt using a host of options, ranging from the type of belt strap to the kind of jewels used on the front plate. While the create-a-PPV mode is mostly a neat novelty option, the create-a-belt mode is actually really cool, as there are a ton of ways to customize your belts. The only downfall of the create-a-belt mode is that it requires a whole lot of SmackDown! cash to buy the belts, even if they aren't extremely gussied up.

When it comes to features, no one feature has been more touted than SmackDown! vs. Raw's online functionality. Ever since the proliferation of online console gaming, wrestling fans have been chomping at the bit for the chance to go at it in the broadband-based squared circle.

Now, three years after the first online game for the PS2, THQ and Yuke's have produced an online wrestler--albeit one that features an online mode so bare bones that you'd think you had traveled back in time to 2001 when online first hit the console. To call this online mode disappointing would be a hefty understatement, as there's barely enough here to qualify as an afterthought let alone a real feature.
