If there's been one constant in sport games, more specifically wrestling games, it's definitely THQ who have been the creators of wrestling games on the console world for many, many years. And every year like clockwork, another WWE game gets released a...

That standfirst isn’t entirely true, as there have been a number of new elements brought to the Smackdown series since 2006. Every year THQ will hype it up the jacksie, telling us these minor niggles that have been ironed out have turned a stale franch...

All Yuke’s has done this year is tart up a corpse. The new features are shallow, while the core game is rotting beneath this veneer. In certain situations it’s still fun, but all in all SvR2011 isn’t worth your time or money. 6.3/10Print this pageComme...

WWE is one of the most watched shows on television and the WWE game franchise is just as appealing to WWE - as well as arcade fighting fans, having sold in excess of 50 million units globally. Now Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 enters the ring looking to becom...

WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 might not be as challenging to play as fighting simulators such as EA Sports MMA, but it is a lot more entertaining and better presented. Teaming up with other wrestlers also adds an interesting new dimension to the usual ro...

Just like The Undertaker's ability to rack up an annual win at Wrestlemania, the Smackdown vs Raw franchise's yearly return is as certain as the cycle of day and night.. While 2010 was a comeback to form with some stellar new additions, 2011 aims to bu...

I would like to take everybody on a stroll down memory lane, back to a time when we could all smell what the Rock was cooking, would give Stone Cold Steve Austin a "Hell Ya," and everybody knew that whomever the Undertaker faced would Rest In Peace. Th...

In every article I write about wrestling games, I always introduce the idea of a non-fan having fun with one of these games through a sheer biwilderment at the subculture, respect for the huge amount of content, and visceral fun of hitting someone i...

It's no secret that I enjoyed some of the changes made to the Smackdown series with last year's entry, but while Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 does have one really cool edition, and I'm completely lukewarm and even a bit downright disappointed on the rest it...

I foolishly requested this game to review after seeing the very promising WWE All Stars at E3. I hadn’t played a WWE title since 2003’s Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain, and was curious to see what great strides developer Yukes and publisher THQ had mad...

I gotta tell you, the McMahon's are marketing genius'. Well, most of the time. The XFL was a bad idea. But professional wrestling has been on the cutting edge with pay-per-view and Hulkamania and larger than life characters. WWE has been very successfu...

The Smackdown vs. Raw series has been around for more than a few years now, and like a time-worn WWE superstar, it is starting to get creaky in its old age. The core mechanics that fuel the entertaining action still set the stage for some great fights...

Tons of ways to set up matches, Extensive creation tools, Plenty of powerful moves.

Problematic collision detection, Excitementdampening sound effects, Online modes, including the new Royal Rumble, hindered by lag and other issues.

Smackdown vs. Raw is showing its age, but there's plenty of fight left in this old superstar...

It’s hard being a wrestling fan. Part of me is extremely embarrassed to admit it publicly, I am thirty years old after all and shouldn’t I have grown out of this by now? The other part of me cannot help but deny the fascination that I have had with th...

I believe the saying goes: "Another year, another Smackdown." Truly, this 365 is no different as it gives us WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011, the latest in THQ's long line of pro wrestling video games. Last year, I thought the game breathed a newfound life...

In the end, there are two main annoyances that stand out to me with WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 and make it just a bit less awesome than last year's effort -- the frustrating grapples and the rough Road to WrestleMania backstage stuff. Not being able to...
