Many reviewers who love wrestling games will surely be enumerating every plus and minus over SvR 2009 and lamenting the rather small number of downsides here while praising the pluses. For example, creating your own superstar is easier than ever and your result will look much better than in years past (mostly because loading times have improved immensely and clothing and accessories are actually modeled in 3D rather than "painted on"), but now there are stricter limitations on the number of accessories that can be added. The series' biggest new mode that allows you to create your own story by putting together and editing scenes both in and out of the ring is going to be huge for wrestling fans, but you can only put any one superstar in a limited number of scenes - this kills any opportunity for creating a very long story for any given character.
Level Up News writes: "The Scoop: I've been playing the Smackdown vs. Raw series since it first debuted over 10 years ago. I'm a pretty big fan of the WWE and must say that when it comes down to entertainment and athletic superstars they definitely take the cake. This and the fact that they are the most popular and well organized business through sport entertainment puts them at the top. Is this so for their games though?"
PlayDevil has posted a review of the X360 version of THQ's latest wrestling game "WWE SmackDown Vs Raw 2010".
They promised more changes to make this the most complete edition. Did they succeed?
Here's a snip:
"There is a lot in SVR2010 that has been re-used from the 09 edition such as the Road to Wrestlemania game mode and the career as a whole, but overall, the crux of the game has been changed entirely. Gone are the stale game-modes and in its place are a new set of options bursting at the seams with originality and zeal. The tagline for this year's offering is "It's Your World Now," and that's exactly what it is, offering unprecedented game modes, customisation, and sharing options. "
GamingXP: Bad Mood? Don't worry as SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 is perfect for blowing off steam. Is the new wrestling game, what it promises to be, or is it just an ordinary beat 'em?
