Best in the series so far!!1135897680

Pros:

Two player General Manager (GM) Mode, both WWE Raw & WWE SmackDown! brands have there own Season Mode, Create-A-Belt & take it online, better Online Mode

Cons:

Only two Season Modes, reversals are redundant, you have to first buy the PSP & WWE SvsR for PSP in order to unlock Jake The Snake

This is by far, one of the better games in the WWE SmackDown! series. This seventh installment brings alot of new stuff, along with alot of old stuff.

The controls are alittle more complicated then they were in the last game. I usually catch onto the controls fairly quickly, but with this one, I STILL have fully gotten the controls down pat. The WWE Challenges are alittle better, however, it took me FOREVER to get pass the first set of them. Other then that, so far so good, I'm still workin on those. lol Oh, and one thing that really gets on my nerves is the fact that you can only buy Jake The Snake AFTER you buy it on the PSP version of WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006. I don't know about you folks, but I'm not about to go out a purchase a $300 handheld game system, and a $50 PSP game, just to unlock Jake The Snake. I REALLY hope they fix that for the next installment.

As for the two Season Modes, I've completed both of them. I like how they decided to make more than one Season Mode. Only bad thing is that there's only TWO! I really hope that they fix this problem for the next installment. The new mode that is added to the game called: GM Mode, allows you to run a brand as a GM of either Raw or SmackDown! for the grand prize of the GM award. This is a nice feature, leaves you more to do after you complete the Season Modes.

On to the Create-A-Belt Mode. They did a good job on the parts for puttin the belts together. Also, the price to make the belts have gone down as well.

Last, but not lest, the Online Mode. They've done alot better with the online mode this game. You can keep track of not only your own, but other folks online profile. This way it's alittle easier to see those that like to cheat online. I like that feature myself. I hate those that like to wrestle with CAWs that are like 100 overall. It's no fun then!! You can also now put your created belt on the line, online against other folks.

Along with that comes the regular stuff. But overall, this IS the best game in the series by far. Hopefully they'll touch on those faulty things in the next installment. Overall, both hardcore, and non-hardcore wrestling fans should definitly check this game out!!

By the way, you can catch WWE Monday Night Raw on channel USA on Monday nights at 9pm(EST). Also you can catch WWE Friday Night SmackDown! on channel UPN at 8pm(EST). :)
