 Almost Perfect January 10, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'll start off by saying the game itself is really good. If you have any interest in the WWE, you'll be hooked as soon as you pop it in. Graphics are greatly improved (even over the already good looking 2006 game), the new fighting style is fun, and the career mode is greatly improved from the previous installment. I'm the person who needs to create my own wrestler and drag him through the storyline and make him the main guy on the show, so if you're like me, you'll LOVE the create a wrestler and create an entrance features.
With the good does come the bad though. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I feel as if the title was rushed onto the shelves and the game as a whole is an unfinished project. The roster is lacking pretty badly (you won't find King Booker, instead the 6 month old version Booker T.... who has King Bookers titantron movie during his entrance.. huh?), the game seems buggy at times. I noticed my created wrestler would occasionally lose his custom move list and revert back to the default list... which I'm still not sure why it happens sometimes. There are some other frustrating things, for instance if you don't use a real WWE wrestlers entrance moves (and instead go with Superstar 1 for example) your wrestler won't wear a belt when he comes out. Also, there's no static belt location for created entrances, so if you mix up the moves your wrestler could be coming down with the belt around his waist, then over his shoulder, then carrying it in his hand, and then it not being visible at all.
While overall, the game is great and would certainly be appreciated by WWE fans and fans of wrestling games in the past, it's far from perfect. I would reccomend it for now, and I hope the future installments will correct the small errors. I'm still waiting for the flawless, megahit, WWE title to eventually hit the shelves. With 2006 and 2007, it appears they aren't far off.
 Great game. January 6, 2007

I imagine that this game will be played in my house until the disc wears out. Graphics are a big improvment on previous wrestleing games and the range of characters are impressive. Couldn't see The Highlanders though.
 It's not "Revolutionary" December 31, 2006
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
Here's a game which attempts to exploit itself as a "revolutionary" sequel to the previous games. It boasts this because istead of using the usual "O" button to initiate a grapple on your opponent, you use the right thumb stick. The "revolutionary" changes in gameplay are basically that, the thumbstick instead of the "O" button.
Every wrestling game is only as marketable as it's story mode is enthralling.
This one has several amusing chapters you can run through, but their appeal can't outshine the level of annoyance one will have to endure when attempting to complete certain tasks. In order to achieve the Royal Rumble trophy and unlock certain locked wrestlers, you must compete in the Royal Rumble match and not the actual Royal Rumble PPV as the World Champion or contender to the World Championship. The Royal Rumble pay per view isn't encountered until very late in the game, so you won't realize this until you've already invested a good days worth of game playing.
As with most XBOX 360 games, this one goes out of it's way to achieve unique forms of irratating stupidity. One case of this is where you would like to quit, and reload a saved game since you are not satisfied with the result of a particular match. If you quit while the game is still playing, it will automatically save your unwanted results. You'll have to then start season mode from the very beginning. The idiots at Microsoft felt that the gamer must have obviously forgotten to save the game, and instead of putting up a notice they decided to just put up an autosave and negate the need for a save button. They could have just set the autosave feature to save right after a match since you'd have to turn the console off completely to escape the consequence.
This game is a terrible example of a sequel. I'd recommend that fans of the series just wait for the next one, where they will hopefully improve upon this already stale concept enough to where it will seem like a real sequel to Raw vs Smackdown 2006.
 Really good game, could have been better December 19, 2006

This game is reminiscent of the Smackdown games of old. I enjoy playing it, but for some reason the creators of this game seem to think less is more in some cases. Some of the moves have been taken out, which is a shame. Alot of items in the Create A wrestler have been taken out too, such as certain hats and necklaces. There seems to be alot less to choose from as far as Designs, shirts, clothes..heck..everything. It's not that big a deal, but why take out things? Another thing I have yet to understand is why the female superstars can only participate in a few certain types of matches. Up until Here comes the Pain, females could wrestle in any kind of match, now they can only wrestle in about ten of the 70 match types available. I don't understand that..hopefully next time they'll make that possible.
I'm not really a fan of the way Yukes decided to only allow certain moves for certain weight classes. Why do that? Heck, the players should be able to decide what moves to use, regardless of the weight.
There are alot of glitches, as you've read. I do hope they fix them next time. The create an Entrance is alot better than it was last time, but for some reason there are certain pyro effects, such as smoke, that will not last through the entire entrance a la the Undertaker.
All in all though, it is a fun game. I just hope that Yukes will stop with the limitations next time.
Not bad for a button masher! December 2, 2006

This game is pretty good,The graphics are great,The story line is good.I hate the soundtrack,its for 18 year olds(no custom soundtrack).Stupid songs with only powerchords.It seems if your getting beat by a better player all your doing is trying to get up by pressing a button a million times a match.I love the moves you can do from the create a player menu.The menu for create a player clothes do suck like someone else said.And you cant have your own song coming down the ring.Its cool to see the hart foundation though and the real hulkster legdrop to end a match.All in all a good game.
