WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 - Playstation 3

My number one complaint last year, was that there was not a real season mode in Smackdown Vs Raw 2010, i ended up thinking it was all for the trophies. But THQ proved me wrong this year, this was a huge step, do not listen to the negative reviewers at all, this is worth your money, the season mode is Universe mode, which when you set up an exhibition game(Universe is intertwined with it), it can play out like a WWE RAW or a WWE Smackdown storyline, even the jump behind attacks are a nice extra.For example It shocks me when i play a singles match, i played as Randy Orton versus John Cena, and as Orton was walking down the ramp Cena jumped him from behind and attacked him, on the WWE News after i beat Cena, it says " John Cena has turned his back on the fans" which was fun and it has other news on things that is happening. Universe Mode is like a combination of GM Mode and Season mode of Smackdown Vs Raw 06, 07 that i loved so much, the only part i wish THQ improved on was maybe adding one on one confrontations and choosing what you want to do.The unlockables are unbelievable, it might be the deepest wrestling game that THQ has ever done or even created, it has guys like Vance Archer, Mickie James(now in TNA), Goldust, Ezekiel Jackson, it even has Jimmy Superfly Snuka, and other legends with their own themes. I am not lying about the roster it probably consists of 40 to 45 perhaps. Also the player select screen has been revamped, it has a fighting game style screen like Marvel Vs Capcom but keeps it's identity like the previous Smackdown Vs Raw's, deviating from the fans who say "Same old smackdown vs raw".The weapons have been revamped along with the creative moves that needed to be done to become more realistic. First of all you can set a ladder on top of a rope and run on the ladder and hit a wrestler, or even set a ladder on the step of a already set up ladder and use that as a high flying acrobatic move set. Also THQ fixed a long glitch i remembered in it's past games such as the steel steps, it use to be you picked it up automatically, but now the superstar turns the steel steps until it is on the back and picks it up.As for the moves, remember how cheap the moves and animations where you had someone groggy on a turnbuckle and then it was just one move? Now you can set them up on top of a turnbuckle with there back against you(for a backwards suplex) Forwards(for a toss move) and then finally a tree of woe(which the wrestler is upside down and the legs are on a turnbuckle. As for a wrestler when he is on the top rope you can now run and then press the grapple button to counter his jump, if you time it right. It is much easier, and fun to chain moves together than last year.The appearence of each wrestler and the crowd has been really altered, they are not like action figures, when i played Shaemus going against Triple H it is almost like if i was in front row seats at a wrestling event, or watching WWE on television. As for the crowd, yes they kind of look the same as last year, but i notice THQ has worked harder, and i was almost fooled by the fans, because sometimes they would do different things depending on what the wrestler would do. Another example was when i used my created guy used a finisher and then pinned, but Yoshi Tatsu interfeared in the match and was argueing with the ref, the crowd kind of booed him, and was standing up having cameras out, just like some WWE events on TV.Online needs an improvement sadly, Royal Rumble is fun, but it is far to easy for people to cheat and just eliminate you, also the matches are slow if a person has a dial up or slow connection , THQ needs to work on this, because for so long this has been it's hindering problem on it's backside, i suggest dedicated servers and to buy a better server next year, because oldschool fans want to fight someone without much lag if any at all. There has been some cutdown on it, but not enough to say that it has changed much.Overall i recommend this to people who did not buy last years game, or has not baught a Smackdown Vs Raw game in a long time, even those who had 2010, all should find significant changes and new things that will wow them over time. Sadly i just wish there was more exploration like in Here Comes The Pain to the back locker rooms, and to other places in the arena, apply some other ideas and THQ could probably out due itself with next years edition. This years edition is a solid buy, no questions about it.

This game has it all! You wanna make yourself or a dragon type martial artist, now you can. Or you can go online and download millions of different creation made by other gamers such as Brock Lesnar, Goldeberg, Insane clown posse and the all the rest of psychopathic records.

My son loves this game

For a PS3 game this game was kept in great condition. The case, the disc, even the cover all kept in great condition. The game didn't have any scratches on it. The gameplay was smooth, didn't skip or crash.I bought it for my son, he loves it.

It came in Meant condition and works well.I love that

Got this as a birthday present for my son who loves wrestling. My husband and both boys did not like it. The game is glitchy and the controls are a lot more difficult than the ALL STAR Wrestling Game. Needless to say it is sitting on the shelf. The All Star is by far the best and most fun wrestling game.
