Professional Wrestling is such a strange phenomenon. It's the ultimate genre-crossing type of entertainment: it's live like a sport, but it's also got acting, theatrics, and a unique brand of athleticism that asks its participants to hurt each other - after all, there's just no way to get almost 10 feet into the air and drop onto another guy without hurting that guy at least a little bit - but not to actually injure people the way they're making it look like.
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?
