WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 is one of the most anticipated video games of the season. It is scheduled to be released on October 20th, but the game has already garnered rave reviews from magazines like GameMaster that awarded it their coveted Gold Award and wrote that it was by far the best version of the game yet.
In this article, we are going to take a closer look at what is sure to be one of the hottest video games of the year.
To begin with, the game is available on Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. It is the eleventh game in SmackDown series and it features two of the three biggest brands in wrestling: Raw and SmackDown.
Game Features
One of the first things early reviewers have praised is the games’ improved create mode, which lets you design a wrestler of your very own and then compete with him, or her. The game not only allows you to create-a-wrestler, but also makes it easy to create your own entrance, including musical selections.
According to the games‘ designers, the create-a-wrestler mode has been completely revised and improved since the last version of the game. The new game boasts three-dimensional clothing and accessories, whereas in the old wrestling games the clothes looked unrealistic or painted on. For example, a cape or robe will now move when the wrestler moves. Another big improvement is that the loading time of the mode has been shortened. In past versions and in other wrestling video games, the create mode takes a long time to load, but in the new game it’s much faster.
The game also features a brand-new WWE Story Designer mode, which allows the users to design storylines that include WWE’s weekly shows (SmackDown and Raw) as well as pay-per-view specials with pre-determined storylines and matches. The player can choose from over one hundred disparate animations as well as 20 different locations for each scene. While the games‘ other editions did permit players to create storylines, now the player can control how long they want the storyline to last and what happens. Additionally, a player can use WWE superstars and Divas as well as the wrestlers they create in these storylines.
Other important features in the create-a-wrestler mode include the ability to create and design your own logos or tattoos for your wrestlers. It is even possible for players to design three alternative attires for their wrestler and for the other wrestling superstars.
Once again, the video games‘ designers listened to the fans and have made unlocking abilities for created wrestlers far easier. This means that players won’t have to assign points or take them into career mode simply to improve their abilities. Rather, abilities can be improved in every mode of the game. According to the features page, there are now 21 abilities that can be unlocked including brand new ones like the Exploder Turnbuckle Attack.
Like many video games these days, SmackDown can even be used on the internet. If you have the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version of the game, you will be able to share the wrestlers you created online with friends and other players. You can even create a highlight reel of your wrestlers’ best move and post it online. Users are then free to rate your creation and will be able to share moves and game tips with you.
Another new feature of this years’ game is the WWE Rivals option. This feature allows you to select a group of enemies and allies, which can later be used for your benefit or detriment in exhibition match mode. This means that if a superstar is selected as an enemy, he may simply show up during one of your matches and attack you. But conversely, if a superstar is set as an ally, he may come to lend you a hand.
As far as match gameplay goes, all the early reviewers all agree that it is much improved. Like many video games before it, SmackDown now features a tutorial option designed specifically for new players. The feature allows new users to choose or create a superstar and then select a match type. During these matches, when the tutorial option has been engaged, a series of pop-ups will appear and let them know how to perform certain moves. All together, there are over 100 distinct training tips offered by the games‘ tutorials.
Meet the Cast
In addition to creating your very own wrestlers, the superstar wrestlers featured in the game is a veritable who’s who of the wrestling world. The impressive roster includes John Cena, Beth Phoenix, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, Batista, Edge, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Triple H, CM Punk, and Big Show.
