The Bottom Line:

"Disappointing"

Ever since the SmackDown series went to the 360, things have started to go downhill from what could've been a good series.

For starters, bad controls that try to copy the mechanism of the 360 which makes no sense since they are 2 completely DIFFERENT systems.

The introduction of Ultimate Control Moves and environmental grapples which were unnecessary.

The reversals are somewhat annoying, especially with the new grapple scheme.

Quite honestly, the only factor that make this game stand out are the graphics......which mean jack to me. Honestly, the best thing that they did with this was revamp the ladder match which now has you using either the left or right analog stick to grab whatever is hanging above the ring and deplete the meter to pull it down. Add Money In The Bank to the game and you got the only thing that I consider to be worthwhile.

To conclude really, SmackDown vs Raw 2007 was the beginning of many disappointments to a popular wrestling series that went downhill due to it being a major cash cow. I suggest keeping your copy of SmackDown 2006 instead of getting this.
