SMACKDOWN vs RAW 2007 one of the major reasons I Picked up the xbox360. I have been a WWE fan since the time I remember and still watch it so this game for me was must buy. I had played the demo for 2 months so had mastered the moves pretty much hehe but still when I started the season mode in normal difficulty I Still found it tough. I am currently playing the season mode with HHH and must say the season mode is awesome.. Its huge I have already played for 5 hours and the season is just half way through as I have just been traded to smackdown. The stories in the season mode is amazing id like to share one of them with you.. forgive me if it’s a spoiler for some of u.. midway through my tenure in RAW I became WWE champion by beating angle in a submission match. My first title defense was against Chris Masters with Trish by his side in ladder match, during the match we both are knocked out and Trish climbs up the ladder and picks up the title and gives it to Masters and the ref declares masters a winner, after which Shane McMahon put Trish, HHH and master in a triple threat and Trish low blows me and becomes the WWE champion these r the kind of story line amazing . I Jus love every detail of this game. The graphics are gorgeous with the sweat system and the weapons avail are sledge hammer, ¾ wrapped in barb wire etc . The backstage brawls are awesome and every little detail is taken care of. The superstars entrances especially Taker, DX, ken Kennedy, Batista and Orton should be see to believe how realistic it looks. Now to the -ve s the load times are crazy sometime one load screen loads another load screen You cannot chooses legends like Steve Austin and The Rock in season mode Apart from that its an awesome game.. For a WWE fan highly recommended cant comment on non WWE fans but still and very enjoyable fighting game with some awesome moves and grappling techniques.

Thanks sanjoy for the small review I've seen a couple of vids about this game, and there's no doubt that the graphics is top notch. But i have one prob with it tho, the way the players move in the ring is just pathetic sanjoy pls correct me if i'm wrong.

Sanjoy, i don't know on Normal but on Hard almost every move can be blocked with "RT" since the Comp is only interested in Grapple. I will give you some tips since i have played through WWE 2007 like 3 times on Hard Difficulty just for fun....
All i am saying is in regard to Hard and only Hard :
First of all, go to "Create a Move-Set" and change the moves of which ever Superstar you are taking. It took me 2 Hours to create the Ultimate Quick Grapples, Strong Grapples, Finisher Moves, Signature Movies and On Ground Submission Moves and what not. You have more than 1000 Moves in all which you can Edit for your Superstar and it's a blast...
Once you have your Perfect Moves, always start a Match by going Close to the Opponent and pressing "Y" and then hitting him close range. Once he is fallen don't even bother to Grapple cause on Hard 90% of the time it's going to be Opposed. Kick him while is lying down and pass time. When he is standing up don't even bother to Grapple him cause he will turn that back too. Hit him once and then Grapple since the Computer assumes that---->
One Punch after Another Punch, well you just punch/kick him once and then Grapple and do your move. I have different sets of DDT's and Chokeslams which inflict damage on Head and Body. Just follow the steps and at any difficulty you can own the opponent....
Another Irritating thing is "Tag-Team Matches", DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO FIGHT IN THE RING DURING SUCH MATCHES cause when you try to Pin your opponent, his partner is going to stop the pin no matter what.. Even if you tell your partner to hit the illegal Opponent, he won't cause he is dumb...
Simple step to win this Tag Match in few mins is, lure your opponent outside the ring in your partners side and fight with him, the refree will be counting the Ring Out thing till 10. During that time beat the crap out of your opponent and if you are lucky your partner will be hitting the crap out of the guy too... Get in the Ring before 10 Count by Refree while your legal opponent is still outside the ring and you will win Nice and Easy and IMO on Hard thats the only way to even manage to win the match... I am playing with Kurt Angle and had to defend my title against Triple H and after that with Edge and Trish Stratus, game is too easy if you want to just Pin. I only bother pinning down my opponent when i have First Blood.. Anyways remember if you are ever given option to which sort of match you want, choose Iron Man cause its a lengthy Match with Whoever Pins the most wins and there is little chance of you loosing in that match and its a blast cause you have lots of time to experiment with your moves...
Its funny but i edited Kurt Angles Finishers to "The Peoples Elbow" and "Stunner" cool to have two different powerful Finishers:)

I got the game today, since I havent played the demo I'm still learning the new control system. I've not played enough to review the game, but I'm a little mad at Yukes for two things
1) Roster: Come on, how many times are they cut Victoria? She's probably one of the most talented wrestlers in the WWE roster, but time after time she gets cut. Also, Paul London & Brian Kendrick. I mean they ARE the Tag Team champs after all. 2) Moves: They've taken out some quite cool looking moves. Trailor Hitch, Regal Stretch, Shoulder Lock(What do we give CM Punk?!), TKO among others...I'm still searching for the Widows Peak & if thats not there, I'll go insane.
However, the game DOES have some killer graphics and I am enjoying it so far.
Looking forward to get Rumble Roses XX as well, yeah yeah its a bit too gimmicky but it does have some amazing looking moves!

yeah i knda agrre tag team matches suck .. cauyse ur partner is dumb... what i do is i put the illegal partner through my finisher amd then concentarte on the legal man .. this way i go for the pin.. x3k0t beating the comp in hard is kinda easy when u get the hang of it.. as u said never gor for strong grapples... jsu got for normal grapples jus using the right thumbstick... and when he is on the flooe take the most advantage.. and then when u get to store ur finisher don even think about waioting jus use it Cheers
