WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2006

[Skummy]

Haha, I used to work for BlahDVD, they're useless.

They're based in Jersey, so chances are the shipments haven't even made it here yet.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Just loading it up now

[AJ]

Same here. Been to GAME and bought it. I'll get to practicing for the league.

[Cactus Drags]

I love how all the UK'ers are going apeshit about not getting it today when us Americans don't get it till Monday

[Tarheels.]

I want to know how GM mode is, whoever has the game should try it out and let those of us who don't have it how it is.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Well i had a quick look into it, seemed pretty good once you understand everything, but i didn't so im hitting the season mode now.

Fuck something cool just started the season mode, and the voiceovers are pretty cool

Games ok, not great. Control of superstars seems really slow and slugglish.

GM mode isn't bad, but it is very basic. Good for what it is. Elimination Chambers are now annoying as fuck as CPU players now just climb the cage all the time, try and dive and miss, turning their bodies red, basically, they beat themselves, you just stand still, then go round pinning everyone.... Will play more later.

So verdict time; is it worth putting it on my christmas list?

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Well its a challenging game, when you get used to it it should be a good game, but the first three matches I had frustrated me immensly. As to if it should be on your x-mas list...yeah go for it, it's got enough different modes to keep me interested for a while at least. Season mode looks a giggle to at the moment.

If anyones got any questions then go for it btw.

[probablyoliver]

I'll wait till I get a more indepth verdict on season mode, because I hated season mode in the first SDvsRAW, it was the one thing that actually stopped me from buying.

I would have automatically bought this if it weren't for the out of date roster and shittiness of SDvsRAW.

Hows CAW mode? That's always something that holds my attention.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Haven't tried it yet but ill put a report in later.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Just rung Blockbuster, they haven't got it in yet. They said either later today or sometime tomorrow, so it shouldn't be long till I get hold of this

Oh and what's this about HBK/Flair being able to go for the Cruiserweight title? Seems maybe a tad weird :ohwell:

Yeah they can due to their weights, they are highlighted in blue (along with the other cruisers) when you draft guys in the GM mode.

I've done buried alive, elimination chamber. Doing a royal rumble now with my bro.

The controls are taking some getting used to. I can't believe you have to use the D-pad in this game. I thought all games were analog nowadays.

edit:

The new way of doing rumbles SUCKS. You have to knock them over the rope. Then grapple with them whilst they're on the apron and tap furiously to knock them out. It'd be good if this was one of the ways to get people out, but it's the ONLY way.

Season mode absolutly rocks, having a hell of a time as JBL at the moment. The voiceovers make it so much better and the storylines are enthraling.

You can change the controls so you can use the analog stick to control your movement.

I'm really enjoying it so far. Graphics are awesome as is the gameplay, and season mode has been very entertaining so far for me. The new whip system took a while to get used to, but I love it.

[kliq]

I actually can't use the analog stick for playing, the only time I use it is for submissions. It's far easier to turn the stick round and round than to have to mash buttons, I tend to swap back and forth during a match.

[probablyoliver]

Storylines; without spoilers what can we expect?
