Great game |
| Voidless Void from Your local cemetery says (28/Nov/2004): |
I had always asked myself what could possibly make the Smackdown series even better than it was with HCP? The only thing I could think of was On-line play. Wouldn't you know it, THQ read my mind. There is now On-line play in Smackdown! Of course, there is room for improvement. I'd love to play tag team on-line, or maybe even a royal rumble.
The customization feature, the feature I love the most, is that much better. Plus you can use songs from Powerman5000 and Zebrahead for your dude's theme song!
There were a couple things I had a gripe with. For instance, you still can't use custom divas to fight in a bra and panties match, you can only hold on to a weapon for about four hits before losing it (though it causes a lot more damage now), and though the ring out meter in the royal rumble is a blessing, it's also frustrating! A blessing, because I don't get eliminated as quickly, and frustrating because neither do the opponents.
It's a good game that leaves plenty of room for improvements in the future. I give it a 9 out of 10.

Great game |
| David Lawler from co.kildare,ireland says (16/Nov/2004): |
I thougt this game was very enjoyable but there were some down points,for starters there are no tag or cruiserweight titles & also there are not much different stories in the season mode.But the graphics, gameplay,soudtrack & voice overs are awesome. there are also some good superstars missing though,such as Carlito,Hiedenreich,lita & even la resistance.over all though its an awesome game which only needs some improvements!

Smackdown Vs Raw is a Graet Game |
| Jordan Lilley from London, England says (28/Nov/2004): |
I personally think that WWE SMackdown Vs Raw is one of the best games out yet. There are lots of hidden parts in the game that make it really interesting such as: the superstar challenge, shopzone and much more on season mode. If i was asked to rate this games out of 10, i would give it a 9. If there is anyone unsure wheather to buy this game or nor the stop thinking you have my word that this is one of the greatest games ever.
Thanks for reading, hope you fin this some help to you.

the rossa review |
| rossa from sydney, australia says (10/Dec/2004): |
it rossa here from australia were the game has just come out, and if you are thinking about buying the game smackdown vs raw do so if you are a hard core fan of the series smackdown 1 to 5. it is the best game i have played in along time, but the are alot of bad things about the game. like the story line doing the same thing over and over and over each time you play. there is only one thing good about the story line and that is that there are 2, one for smacdown and one for raw. another thing is that they are missing alot of the big superstars like steve austin, rikishi and more. the thing i like most about wwe smackdown vs raw is that you can create your own belt and name it same with a pay per veiw, wich i think are the best features in the game in my opinion. in a game i look for the graphics, sound, gameplay and the story line so in all but for the story line i give a 10/10, but for the story line i give a 7/10. so enjoy your playing every one and enjoy the game.

This game rules but..... |
| kota from san gabriel, california, usa says (6/Nov/2004): |
Well as you all know wwe smackdown vs raw is the hottest game right now. I have the game and it is really cool. The only things that were not cool is that the tag- titles and the cruiserwieght titles are not there and that the stroy lines are two short there so short that i finished the season in one day and smackdown hcp was longer. But besides that the games graphics are really good and the superstars voices are in the storylines. Also the royal rumble isn't easy anymore. Now its a little bit more challenging to eliminate superstars. And to conclude this summary the wwe smackdown vs raw game is great and you should get this game!!!!
|
awwesome game |
| Matt Newby from Atkins Ark. says (26/Nov/2004): |

The Absolute Best Game Ever Created |
| Blayke Willett from Beloit,Wisconsin USA says (10/Dec/2004): |
A great game except for a couple characters missing. The characters were Eugene, Heidenreich,and you missed some others that you could put in legends. Like Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Macho Man.Over all it's great. If you make another put ever wrestler that deserves to be in it in it.
|
hmmmm... |
| Bill nye the science guy from sri lanka says (9/Jan/2005): |
I like the game very much it is in some way fun, but I think it needs to put in some more hairstyles so I can make a more original Twiztid Monoxide like I did in "Shut Your Mouth".
And why wont they put in Brock Lesnar he is one of the baddest (BEST) wrestlers in smackdown at least put him as a legend or something
|
The game that beats you up |
| Daniel Coulter from Lisburn Northern ireland United Kingdom says (14/Jan/2005): |
Every kid knows that when you play wrestling games like this you could be sitting there all day playing it. i watch wrestling every single Friday or Saturday every single week and i never miss an episoded many exciting features like being able to create your own pay - per - view and even your own title belt!!! i will. Before i close i would like to say a comment on 1 superstar, KANE he, in the game i think is the most brutal the way he just slams the opponent down either onto the mat or through the hard announce table. truly the best darn thing the game world has made.
|
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Cody from New York USA says (20/Jan/2005): |
I think that this game could be better by adding people like Eugene and Gene Snicky. I miss the tag crusier weight and woman championship. I like the story mode and the voice overs and the all new challenge mode. The online mode is ok but I wish you could play a ROYAL RUMBLE though. The graphics are very good, and I love the commentary. The game play is very exciting. The season is short but the challenge mode is long. The most fun I had was playing a slober knocker. I hope that next time they add a/casket match, a burried alive match, and the laungarie pillow fight. I like the create a championship and create a pay per view. The new parking lot brawel is fun. I like how you choose to fight clean or fight dirty. I think they should make it so you can pick divas in your season. Then the only matches you are in,are diva matches. This game diserves a 9 out of 10 so no matter what you have heard I sugest that you buy this game. Even if you dont keep it at least try it. You have my word on it. THANK YOU!!!!

| Jeremy from U.S.A. says (23/Jan/2005): |
you should put the new usa champship whith a spinner on it and chain Mankind and you should make JBL come out with his limo.
and you should put Hulk Hogan and put 4 man tag on it and make your own color of Eddie lowrider or pick your lowriders and you should make the real udertaker do the lAST ride and make a caskit Mach and last ride mach. and make gold belt for weapons.
and you make street fight mathes and make the couch wreaslers fight the chouch and make the 15 smackdown superstars wreaslers 15 Raw superstars wreaslers.

are u guys trying anymore |
| american kid from minnesota usa says (24/Jan/2005): |
This is the third year i have posted reviews, and this is the worst game of the last three years. Its terable addicting, but it dosent have close to as many of the koolest matches that u should have. Baried alive match, if ur not puting that match in the game cause u dont know how u would so it well use a barial bar like the royle rumble bar. Another thing that pissed me off was in my first match i played, Undertaker vs. Booker T in a hardcore match in the back area. The wepons disapered and u couldent transfer to other areas and theres not enogh back stage areas. Ever wrestler should be able to take a ladder from under the ring. If u set a wresler on the announcers table and go on the ring post u should attomatticlay jump far enogh to make the opponet on the table.and u should be able to do finisher of the hell in a cell. and if u do a attack move from high distance u should not be able to pin the opponetand if u do a pin move and press square and u wont pin and he will stay down. Why the hell did u have lita when she asent active last year but not this year. I have said this so damn much PUT JEFF HARDY IN THE GAME!! Hes been in the busness for over 10 years put him in as a legend. People all over the world want jeff in this game. put him in. And the hulkster put him in god dammit. In seson u should be able tobecome a grand slame champion (wwe smackdown shut your mouth)be a women, become a legend and become gm and buy the buisnees when mcmahon sells it.You should be able to pick were ur from ur waight so lillian garcia and anoying smackdown guy can say all that. You should be able to creat entraces taunts and finishers. and you should have a $#< remove me > at ! load off call names. for exaple my wrestlers name iss money, u should have a s and money to choose. Thank you and i will still send in more reviews.

Good, but not yet all there |
| The Hitman from Smackdown City, Painsylvaina says (28/Jan/2005): |
Yes, Smackdown VS. Raw is the most graphically enhanced of the series but its other features don't hold par with previous Smackdowns. For one the season mode is so short my created character only reached sixty-some and he was the champ.
The cutscenes in season are pretty good, but the storyline could be improved. This game also needs to include a tag title, and womens title, divas cannot be the main character in story mode either. The game could overall have more to it, personally even though earlier games like Shut your mouth are not as good graphically, I had more fun with Shut your mouth than VS. Raw.

WWe Smackdown! vs. Raw |
| Danny Husker from America,United States says (1/Feb/2005): |
This is a great game but it could do with the original titles. We need up to date wrestlers. I miss the cruiser weight, tag teams and womens championships. The graphics are great and the season mode is good. But you should be allowed to be a diva because it will be more fun to have more bra and panties matches!!! Over all this is a great game and I give it 9/10!!!

SD! Vs RAW |
| A gamer from UK says (16/Feb/2005): |
This game has evolved in the best possible way. The graphics are tremendous. I love the new ring out meter in a Royal Rumble. It could have been improved by adding people like Gene Snitsky, Eugene and William Regal. Also it would be cool if you could be a diva in a season mode. I also think they did a poor job on the graphics of HBK Shawn Michaels. He looks like a mouse ! But really he is gorgeous. ;-)

not bad |
| john from arkansas, usa says (20/Feb/2005): |
The game does fairly well. great graphics. But why cant there be a wwe game that does away with story mode, which takes up alot of space, and just put about 100 wrestlers in there, and every wwe title, and be able to have ppv mode where you can put titles on the line without having to make millions in cash to make your own belt 1st? think back to wwf no mercy for n64, when u could have a 15 match ppv and put every title on the line. we need something like that once again. The story/season mode is getting old. no season mode means more superstars, more backstage areas, more commentary, etc.

Very bad season mode,bad matches and crap wepons |
| philip from LLangefni Wles says (13/Mar/2005): |
Why the hell u havn't put a buried alive match,strecher,in it why not put hulk hogen,eugene,gene snitky,brocklesnar ,goldberg, stone cold,jeff, bashems,carlito,luther reinze and other great superstars.Plis in season let us be vince or 1 of da gm,this years season realy sucked let it last longer,i've done it about 7 times and most are da same make lots of different story modes do u guys agree? me and my friend have been thinking of ways 2 make it better if ssomeone like taker and kane have a ladder match u cant make a chokeslam off if it hit the ring had enough it should break through da ring in cage matches u should be able to fight on da top and while climing to bash there faces on da cage and definatly be able to through ur oponent on da cage it should be hadder to hurt ur opponents in the elimanation chamber u should be able to spear ur opponents through the glass and other moves and be able to have more than 6 in the ring at once make alot more backstage rooms like fight in a womans locker room while they're changing in parking lot,outside arena shopzone in the crowds in the gm locker and cool places u can think of.be able to go to the ring when u want if ur the taker in season u should be able to make it dark and be in da ring and don't make taker sit up everytime only after having a finisher or a powerful hit.befor going to ur match in season there's things u can buy insed of buying your thing to make your strengh and stuff go up u could have a gym.Plis send your thoughts on my review!

One step forward / two steps back |
| Britney from Glasgow, Scotland says (15/Mar/2005): |
This game is a tricky one , because i'm not sure if it's better than HCTP.
Firstly the gameplay is better , wrestlers move much more realisticly than before. The addition of mini-games prior to your match starting seemed a good idea at first but after a few matches they just irritated me.
Then the matchmodes. There are all the usual match modes : TLC , Cage , Hell in a cell and the Elimination Chamber. Although some good match modes have been omitted such as a recently used Casket , Buried Alive and Barbed-Wire Steel Cage Matches. Now why the first 2 were left out is beyond me. Meanwhile Bra And Panties makes an (un)welcome return. (Does anyone actually play these matches?)
The season mode is a huge disapiontment. It's far too short , has a story that is so on the rails its not even funny. You have little or no control of your character , except whether he is a heel or a face. Several titles have been omitted from the season. The voice-overs are attrocious and worst of all the good work of HCTP edit rosters feature has been left out. Meaning you can only have one CAW in the season at a time.
Onto the CAWS themselves. They are an improvement on HCTP graphically but there is still a lot of work to be done in this department. THQ have finally done something about the music by inputing licensed music from real bands which is a welcome change from being stuck with the annoying original music.
Entrances for CAWS are good and bad at the same time. New one sinclude Hulk hogan , Steve Austin and the Ultimate Warrior (All good) but many are just oppostie entrances of WWE stars eg , heel and face alternatives. (Another wasted opportunity)
The introduction of a Create-A-PPV is a welcome addition annd can't really be faulted , although personally i would like to see more arena's available.
Create-A-Belt is a huge waste of time. Truth is most belts look ridiculous and you can't create Tag Belts to defend. however with a bit more work this area could become a huge plus.
Now the Red Herring of the game. the Online mode. Such a waste of time because you can only play a single match or a Bra And Panties match. It's almost as if no effort went in to this part of the game at all.
The challenge mode provides a welcome distraction from the monotomy of season mode giving you the chance to unlock several legends.
As for the legends it's difficult tocriticise here especially considering they finally put Bret Hart into the game but possibl future additions must include Ultimate Warrior , Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold.
The commentary is hit and miss. It's good that both JR and King (RAW) and Mickeal Cole and Tazz (SmackDown!) are in the game for their respective programs but i've always been of the mindset. If your gonna do something at least do it right. And unfortunately like so many parts of this game it misses it's chance.
If you enjoyed HCTP then you will still enjoy this but if moneys tight wait for the next one to come out.
