WWE Smackdown v.s Raw is another addition to the Smackdown! series with a added twist. Combining Raw with the Smackdown! series sounds amazing and it sure did succeed. However, other than that, Smackdown v.s Raw is no different than the previous games. There is still the same match types, weapons, grappling and submission system, and not really any new areas to fight in. In my opinion, the graphics look very good, but the character models seem less realistic compared to the previous Here Comes the Pain characters. Moreover, even with some problems WWE's SVR is a great game that should be added to the collection. There are some nice features here and there, such as, playing as a clean or dirty superstar and also some added mini-games during the matches. There are about 41 superstars to play as, such as, Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, and Triple H. Also, adding to the 41 superstars are 11 legends, including, Andre the Giant, The Rock, and Bret "The Hitman" Heart. Overall, WWE Smackdown! v.s Raw has improved itself in many ways but still wasn't a whole lot different than the previous games in its series.
