The Bottom Line:: "Guilty pleasure"

If you have played the Smackdown vs Raw from 2006, then you definately will be familiar with the gameplay and flow of this game. The graphics however, have been overhauled and look stunning. The entrances for the superstars are my absolute favorite part of the game. The graphics in the ring have also been touched up and look really nice in HD. The Create An Entrance mode has also been overhauled to be much easier. The idea of being allowed to add in the pyro, nameplate, screen effect, and camera angles all by the press of a different button is very innovative and makes Create An Entrance actually fun rather than irritating like lastyear's. The hotspots around the ring are a nice bonus added into this game to make certain matches much more fun (First Blood, Hardcore, Last Man Standing, etc). The few negative things I have found so far are few and far between but I will document them for you to read now: the Money In The Bank match can be really stupid because, unless its just me, when you grab the briefcase and find the sweet spot, the meter on the case doesn't go down no matter what you do. The Stables can be very frustrating because the only Trio Entrance options are MNM, nWo or DX (with female), making many of your three man stables look stupid. In GM Mode, the Power 25 rankings will COMPLETELY ruin many of the rivalries that you have going before a PPV.

Despite some of the negatives, over the game is fun to play and the storymode can be very addicting, as you feel like you are actually watching an episode of Raw (yes, Smackdown sucks!). I recommend this game to any wrestling fan, except those poor suckers who actually bought a PS3!

Although Smackdown! vs. Raw 2007 is a good wrestling game in its own right, to call it next gen would be blasphemous. continue »

The graphics and gameplay issues present in past SmackDown games still haven't been corrected in this "next-gen" title. continue »
