WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 (PS2)

...the 7th instalment of the WWE wrestling game series for the Playstation. It all started on the PS1 with Smackdown. As Smackdown was the dominate brand over RAW, it was Smackdown that got the title of the first game. Next came Smackdown 2: know your role, which in turn became the greatest wrestling game of its time. The WWE then moved to the PS2 with Smackdown: just bring it. A flop in most senses of the word as it was just the same as Smackdown 2 ...
...into with the last 2 WWE games, so they released Smackdown: Shut your mouth with the current brand battle WWE had on there actual show WCW Vs WWE. With one hit came another with the release of Smackdown: Here comes the pain. This was the change that took THQ to another level and the graphics, game play and improved storyline kept this game on the hit list. So with the dominance of Smackdown through the title of the games THQ took the next brand battle ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 (PS2)

...the proffessional company of the WWE ( World Wrestling Entertainment). There is so much reality in the game and that was the aim to have this as it would stand out more than the usual playing type of the previous smackdown vs raw games. There are many new features and match types and wrestlers featured in this game so it is definitly one I could rank at the top of my list for play station games... === The Matches === All in all on this game there ...
...a plain match shown on WWE wrestling all of the time. You may be thinking that this match is bland, but it is a match tempting you to avoid the weapons and stick to the rules. I love playing normal singles matches and letting your finishing moves shine. The ways to win are by pinfall (1 2 3 ) , submission , which means you or your opponent lock in a submission move and make you or them tap out. Finally, if you have enough then you may just lose by ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 (PS2)

...TV shows and Pay-Per-Views that WWE put on, in the game the result isn't pre-determined, in basic its a fighting game that's different from the norm of the Tekken, Street-Fighter and Mortal Kombat series, the reason being is the actual fighting environment, the standard match takes place in a wrestling ring and its surroundings, plus there's a referee there to make sure you don't cheat. The aim of each match is simple, beat your opponent enough so ...
...its so back-dated is that WWE have to give a list of their current roster quite early for it to be included in the game and that means cuts and additions don't get taken into account. But all the big names are there - to give an example of a few: Batista, Kane, Undertaker, John Cena, Carlito, Chris Masters, Big Show, Rey Mysterio are in there amongst many others and an extensive 'Legends' list that includes Ted Dibiase, Old School Kane, The Rock, ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 (PS2)

...santy bringing me last years WWE offering from THQ, and unfortunatley I was dissapointed with the game. So what made me go out and buy this years game, was it the fact that they added a 2006 on the end of it? Well no, as a WWE fan (don't mock me!) since 1989 (when I first got sky tee vee) I've bought almost every single wrestling game available to me at the time (depending on what computer I had), the best being the 2nd smackdown on PSX the worst ...
...why: GAMEPLAY 8/10 WWE games are very similar to football games in the way that the developers must think, how do we get these people who paid 30 quid for last years game interested in this years game. The answer with WWE games being they add new match type, this year they've added the hugely enjoybale buried alive match as well as the Fulfill your fantasy match, where you choose your fav diva and kit her out in (pre chosen skimpy gear), it's similar ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 (PS2)

Having bought and played Smackdown Vs Raw 2005, this was a must buy as the original was so good. The graphics on this game are awesome, to start with, if you actually watch the wrestling you will notice that your gameplay is aided by the fact that real moves are copied exactly, for example, when you do a 619, you literally do a 619 as if taken from one of Rey Mysterio's matches. With this game I enjoyed the fact that at many points during it you ...
...playing against the computer (play against a friend and they will attack you as you try to build your meter). Also, listen out for the sounds when your wrestler runs out of power, it may only be me but i found it hilarious! The new general manager mode is fun, its a little hard to get into and you may wish to set all options to easy the first time you play it as you will find that the other show will get better at everything. Fancy being Teddy or ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 (PS2)

This years edition of smackdown is by far the best wrestling game i have ever played. The graphics are excellent and the movements are spot on. The gameplay itself has become much more real like for example there is a stamina bar which goes down rapidly the more moves and hits you get in, and if you do not hold select to build your stamina up you cannot really do anything, which i find to be excellent as in real life you get tired and need a break. ...
...other games there are the odd couple of differences but nothing to worry about. There are lots of new matches and different modes you can take part in in this game, some of the new matches are: fulfil your fantasy (great one for the men!), casket matches and buried alive. There is a General Manager mode which allows you to take control of either smackdown or raw, you control which wrestlers you hire, who fights, main events, advertising, rivalries ...
