A great start to new dynasty!
Anywho!
After finding out that THQ is releasing Smackdown Vs Raw 2011 i wasnt very excited. Sort of the same as i am with every other SVR release. I think we all know how much of a bad history the SVR have had in the coming years. But when i heard that Havok' kick*** physics were going to be inplace. I was actually quite excited. The more youtube videos i would see the more excited i would get. Finally there will be a game which goes back to the older roots of the Smackdown series. Im in Australia so i only began playing the game around 12 hours ago and ive just stoped now. What was really suprising that the game had more Goods then Bads (in my opinion) At first i knew that the Havok engine will be a PS3 and XBOX 360 exclusive so i got it for the 360. At first the controlls seemed weird, i think everyone sort of thought that as well. Although i havent played 2010 im pretty sure they are the same controls and grappling system. But what they got for 2011 with the B button Irish Whip and the right thumb stick to pick up players. Sort of made me feel as though THQ has tried to put in so much into the game they had to take out move slots in some areas. For example the turnbuckles and grounded opponments. Which is true really but you cant blame them.
Onto the physics engine. I did notice that the weapons had a habbit of having crazy spaz attacks and going flying everywhere. I personally think its hilarious especially when it hits someone. Hopefully in future titles those problems will be fixed. I rather enjoyed the create a move features on the turnbuckle and was able to make a crazy spinebuster from the top rope which looks great when going to through tables.
Character creation is the same as always.....you create stuff. Although i havent played 2009 or 2010 mainly for the reasons i stated above (repeatitve series) so i dont know the differences between the 2 most recent ones.
Road to Wrestlemania has less wrestlers to play as against. But im totally enjoying them as i normally do.
So far this is all i can say about the game.
The reason to this review is to tell people that this is a perfect game (and yes) there are faults in the havok engine but seriously its way better then the limit of 6 moves on a table in past SVR games. Although if you do want to experience the havok engine its best you get it for PS3 and Xbox 360 because the Wii, PSP, DS and PS2 do not have the capabilites to run the engine.
Enjoy and have fun!
