Don't buy it. It gets boring after a while. SDvsRAW will at least satisfy you for a longer while. Trust me. I have GTA:San Andreas.

I think the Legend that has a Attire is Mic Foley as Catus Jack, Why because cactus Jack was the one that fought Randy Orton, but in the game it has Mandkind, so the legend that has an attire is Mandkind.

This game is going to be awsome. New challenge mode, Better storylines, voiceovers, and online play. Plus more.

I have a question. Would you rather have more matches and feattures like online and stuff. Plus a better and more storylines. Or would you rather have A BETTER roster?

Okay here's the Pro's and Con's from IGN's review, with something to counter most cons as well

Pros
-Online Mode is there, and runs very smoothly (no lag at all) and allows CAWs
-Gameplay has improved
-New things added to Gameplay to add variety and need for strategy/skill in matches:
--reversal meters
--pre-match contests
--chop battles
--heel/face meter (he said this was one of the best new additions)
--weight detection works 100x better this year
--Some Weapons are weak, others are strong and harder to use (ladders, belts)
--Finisher's are harder to get and easier to counter
-More/Better Legends (come on, Bret fucking Hart!)
-95% of Superstars, have their music/taunts and all their moves
-All the match types from HCTP are still there
-An Extremely interactive Parking-Lot Brawl match (he said this was really good too)
-Create a Belt mode, create and defend belts
-Create a payperview, instead of doing matches over and over.. you can just create a payperview
-CAW improved, three different attires (cutscene, entrance and wrestling), more music, more animations, you can even choose their teeth!
-The one backstage area is huge and interactive
-Graphics are a lot better, 40% more polygons, higher resolution, better textures, improved animations, new arenas, facial expressions, and lighting effects

Cons
-online limitations (no official rankings, permanent online names, online titles, downloadable content) | At Least it's there!
-pre match challenges too frequent (when turned on) |can be turned off
-faulty weight detection (turnbuckle moves and specials that start on the ground, eg victoria's black widow) | Still 100x better than last year
-Easy A.I. | Big disadvantage but was like this last year too
-Lacking Roster (compared to HCTP) | um.. Bret fucking Hart
-Only 1 backstage area | But it's huge and very interactive
-No Cruiserweight, Women's or Tag Team championships | So what? Make your own titles
-No stat tracking in season
-Season seems to be more linear, can't travel between matches
-No alternate attires (except for John Cena and 'one legend')
-Can't customize which guys are on each show in season
-Shorter Winning animations
-Bad Commentary and Voice overs | At Least it's there
-No progressive scan and widescreen | Who cares?

for tag titles, all you have to do is make the same belt twice, call it tag team championship and give them to two guys...

i doubt it.. but just do a tag match, and then if you lose.. go and lose it with both guys in a singles match lol, i know it's stuipd, but hey at least it's an option, and with all the new features i'd say it's worth it

Okay, here is my top ten to do list in the game when I get it, not including unlocking people, in nor real order

1. Make Bret Hart tap out to The Figure Four from Naich.
2. Make HBK tap to the Sharp Shooter from Bret Hart
3. Andre The Giant kills Triple H
4. Create my 3 wrestlers that I’ve made in every SmackDown game. Daniel Knight, Lance Silver, & Mynd.
5. Find a good caw of Eugene and make him.
6. Use Shelton to beat the crap out of Triple H.
7. Create Jeff Hardy, and then kick his ass with Matt
8. Make The Rock a full time wrestler
9. CPU vs CPU: Orton VS Cena (since I don’t think we’ll see this one any time soon)
10. Play with my Andre The Giant toy that I’m getting because I ordered it through ebgames.com

Well he is a moron. If he read some things correctly, he would have read Jeremy saying that in the game he used for those videos, everything was 100%, APART from music.

So that is why Orton has the correct mix of his enterance theme.

Bought the game. Its good, its a step up from HCTP, does have some great new features, but THQ took out some features in HCTP that would have made SMvsRAW kick more ass than it does. The roster is what really is the biggest drag, they could have added a whole lot more though.

One thing that really sucks is that in season, there is no win/loss record and there is only 2 titles that you can win, but between the matches it is very good :)

11-03-2004, 10:12 PM
I picked this game up today and didn't stop playing until I came back home to check some internet stuff and grab a few things. I did all of the challenges, but I haven't figured out how to unlock the legends challenges yet. It has to either be to win Season Mode, or after you unlock all of the legends.

First let me say the belt costs are rediculous, it'll take a full day to earn enough money to buy a single belt. One belt cost as much as about all of the hidden stuff put together.

Lastly, here are a few tips for people who might get stumped on the challenges. I don't have the game here with me so they are in no order.

ROYAL RUMBLE CHALLENGE: I won pretty easily by first irish whipping them towards the ropes, then doing the running irish whip to get them out of the ring. A good button bash and they're gone.

TRIPLE H CHALLENGE: You'll have to do this at the Smackdown set cause it requires you to put him through an announcers table. You have to put him through BOTH announcers tables to win. Michael Cole and Tazz stand up just like they do on TV once you get on their table.

AGAINST THE ODDS CHALLENGE: Pick somebody like The Undertaker who can take a good beating, and somebody weak, but not weak to the point they can't pick him up. Get them to the point you can beat them, then let them beat on you until they deliver 2 finishers.

SPINAROONIE CHALLENGE: Hit a high impact move, go outside of the ring and hit "Up" on the right analog stick. It's a shorter spinaroonie. When the opponent comes outside, hit a high impact move and go back inside to do the spinaroonie. Do the same thing over and over again and it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, I'm going to grab some stuff and head back so I can play it some more. If anyone figures out how to earn money fast, or how to unlock the Legend challenges I'd like it if you could PM them to me cause I probably won't be on much. Take it easy.

<font color=cyan>Alrighty, I’m sure other people have done this on this thread, well now it’s my turn. After a good solid 8 hours of game time today, a quick list of what I like, and what I don’t like. Spoilers below, so if you don’t want to know them, pass this message up.

First and foremost, the roster… I don’t want everything totally up to date. I understand that Eric Bischoff and The Big Show have new hair cuts, but they left Sable in there… How long has it been since she hasn’t been employed by the WWE?
Where the hell is LaRes? We can play as Rene Dupree, but not Rob Conway or Sylvian. Whassupwitdat? Oh, the WWE needed to recall that no one gives a crap about A-Train before they let him go so they could have taken him out of the game. Yes, as of a week ago it was up-to-date for him to be in it, but still, no one cares.
I don’t mind the fact that Kurt is the GM for SmackDown, but I’d still rather see him as someone you could go through the season with and have Teddy Long or Paul Heyman the GM of SmackDown.
Maven and Steven Richards would have been nice to play… and why is The Rock put in with the legends? Is it because he spends more time in Hollywood than in the ring?

The voiceovers are cool, but the play by play needed some polishing… Cole talks about how “these two men” in a tornado tag match, while JR talks about how Tajiri or Trish could be the next champion. Submission match, 10 mins left on the clock, and The King says it could be over in 30 seconds or 30 minutes.

Aside from all of that, it’s a good game. I like the dirty/clean aspect, the season mode is decent, the minigames are original, and the legends (even though they no longer have The Million Dollar Man) are cool…. It sounds like more bad than good, but the good outweighs the bad. It’s just easier to talk about the bad.

If you’re a hardcore SmackDown game fan, go on and get it. If you’re not, rent it before buying.

I won't spoil it but I went through Raw as the champion... all I'm sayin about that is that it is pretty interestin how things play out. Especially at Wrestlemania.

Now I'm goin through SD! with my created guy since I finally got attributes for him and I must say it is somethin that can get you interested. You know you get your new guy in there and he is submerged into quite a bit.

You enter as a champion on Raw and things are interesting. Have to try some other predictiments later on though. As of right now the game is a keeper.

okay, i've made a more detailed list of all the negatives they said in the review, this is for people who dont' want to read an entire 5 page review to see why it did so bad

-online limitations (no official rankings, permanent online names, online titles, downloadable content)
-pre match challenges too frequent (when turned on)
-faulty weight detection (turnbuckle moves and specials that start on the ground, eg victoria's black widow)
-Easy A.I.
-Lacking Roster (compared to HCTP)
-Only 1 backstage area
-No Cruiserweight, Women's or Tag Team championships
-No stat tracking in season
-Season seems to be more linear, can't travel between matches
-No alternate attires (except for John Cena and 'one legend')
-Can't customize which guys are on each show in season
-Shorter Winning animations
-Bad Commentary and Voice overs
-No progressive scan and widescreen

Both the male and female CAWs have the same basic face design. You can change the "skin" type of the face, but not the face design, as one had been able to do since Shut Your Mouth.

There are no more "premade" faces. Even with these, it gave people who made loads of CAWs (real, and "original") some degree of variety in their characters.

There are only 32 layers available (I think there were at least that much and a couple more in HCTP).

The design/pattern issue has gotten worse. Remember when you were allowed to have two toned items (i.e. one color was either white or black, yet you could edit the red/blue part of it)? No longer.

Designs put on the body and that would connect to the legs from the hip in HCTP no longer do so in SVR.

We are still saddled with all those plaid/floral designs, there aren't really many "WWE" designs.

The hair and accessories have gotten worlds better, though. I saw "Ryu" style headbands among other things, more hats, sunglasses, masks, and so on.

The amount of original signs has gone down.

The amount of call names really sucks in comparison to Shut Your Mouth.

Not much effort seems to have been put into this mode as others have been.

Since CAW is the reason I personally keep coming back to SmackDown, this was a disappointment, considering I was unsure about HCTP's CAW, but actually made some classics. SmackDown has usually been good in improving CAW from year to year, but now it's a step back.

Here are a few downers that I haven't seen anyone mention yet.

STABLES: There are limitations on the Stables you can create. They all have to be in the same class. For example, somebody with a high overall status can't join a stable with somebody with a low overall status. I tried to make a stable for Kurt Angle and Mark Jindrak, and I can't.

DEFENDING BELTS: I read in the instruction manual that you can only defend belts during a PPV in 2 player mode. You must also have 2 memory cards to do so.

The Stable entrances are pretty cool though. For those of you who don't know. 2 person stable entrances include The Hardy Boyz, TWGTT, Rico & Jackie, DX, and the Dudley Boyz face entrance. (So yeah, you can add the pyro to the Dudleyz entrance, ect...

3 person stable entances include DX, Rico Haas & Jackie, The Hardy Boyz & Lita, ect..

They should've called it "Smackdown vs RAW: Just Bring It"

Just Bring It was more of a step up from the previous title than this title was.

At least it had 2 Austin themes, Jerry Lynn, Rhyno and Tajiri snuck in the game...along with snuck-in ECW and WCW logos.

This snuck in...a lot of disappointing crap.

The general consensus on Just Bring It approximates my initial impression of this game.. save the gameplay issue (which is still quite good).

El Santo
11-06-2004, 12:26 AM
Bought it yesterday. I thought it was a pretty good game. I a bit peeved that Triple H is now the default wrestler for the select screen.

Other then that, the gameply is pretty good, and while the storyline is linear, it does sport voice-overs for the first time. Voice overs are pretty wooden, but I'll give them some credit as this was the first go around on these things. I'm playing the lower card storyline with my CAW. Thus far, it seems like the plot centers around getting nookie from each of the Divas. (Hey, is this some sort of Japanese dating sim? :p)

I understand the complaints about the CAW, as I tried to recreate my guys from HCTP and failed miserably, but the doubling of the polygons really does its magic: it's much harder to tell the difference between the regular line-up and the created characters.

The new Royal Rumble system is much more fair: I just lost a match when two guys ganged up on to me kick me out of the ring. Bastard! The manager system is pretty fun, too. Rene Dupree, who's playing as Bubba Ray's manager, managed to screw me out of three pinfalls by distracting the ref. Good stuff. I also like how the manager now accompanies you to the ring.

It's a step back from HCTP; it think the perfect game would have combined aspects of both HCTP and SvR. But I'm still satisfied. The Smackdown series is perhaps the only game series where I felt that, for every game, I got my money's worth. This game is no exception.

PorkSoda
11-06-2004, 03:35 PM
I said a couple days ago that its a step up from HCTP, I kind of take that back now. El Santo explained alot of things in my opinion as well. There are a few things that I like and what I think is a great new feature is that in season mode you can now edit other peoples attributes. Like I'm doing a season with Edge and I got to edit Jericho's submission skills and all that, so thats good. Like Santo said, the royal rumble and manager modes are good.

The CAW isnt the best this year, but still is average. I'm really impressed with the moves, they added quite a few and they changed the animations of the moves as well. The hardcore match isnt really the best, like theres only one backstage area and its very interactive, but its just one normal sized room. They also took out the Time Limit mode. They made new features to the Elimination Chamber, you can decide what number you enter as and theres like a 6 man tornado tag mode.

Like Santo said again, combine aspects of HCTP and SDvsRAW would be perfect. The roster is another thing that brings SDvsRAW down.

JBL is actually one of my favorite guys to play as :)

You unlock all of the Legend Challenges by unlocking all of the legends. I just did it last night.

One good way to get cash is to get the title early in Season Mode. You'll get about an extra 1,000 when you defend the belt. In about the 2nd or 3rd month you'll wreslte a 10,000 Triple Threat ladder match. Just wrestle up until the ladder match, then start a new season, and repeat.

quotin means quotuing. And speaking of quoting I am doin no such thing but I do have two pieces of good news.

1. I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switchin to Geico.

2. I found a way to have one match where the money you can receive from it grows with each match. And here is the procedure I came up with in order to do it.

First and foremost the process requires two memory cards. If you do not have at least two memory cards then you cannot do this.

FIrst you must copy everything from the main card to the other card. From now on the other card will be known as OC and the main card will be known as MC. Now with the OC in the 1st memory card slot go to Create A PPV(CAPPV). Cash in any and all titles (if any). Then create a belt. Just one belt using every single dollar that you possibly can. It doe snot matter how the belt looks. Just make it extremely expensive but you can still afford it. Cause you have to be able to buy the belt. Then save to that memory card. That card should be the OC card. CAPPV with 3 matches. Whichever match you wanna do make your title match with that belt on the line. Make it a single match(it's quicker). And two players if you can.(Even quicker) Have MC in 2nd memory card slot. Follow the save procedures as they show up on screen and change nothing.DO the match and have player 2 win. Player two must win so the belt foes to the MC card. Follow save procedure again.Then go to options and move the MC card into the 1st memory card slot and load the MC. Go to CAPPV and cash the belt. Follow save procedures. Then go to options and change the MC with the OC and save to the OC. Go back to CAPPV and repeat entire process starting with creating most expensive belt possible that you can affor. Money per match should then increase.

It seems a lil crazy at first but after doin it two or three times it's easy to do. And it is quicker than doin season over and over and over again. And then eventually you make more money doin this than any match in season mode. Can make 10,000+ in a match that can take only 14 seconds. :eek:

Yeah I did this for me as well as for you out there that want the money but are tired of doin season over and over again.

I found a way around this:

Make this stable:
Kurt Angle
Edge
D-Von Dudley
Mark Jindrak

As you add lower OVR talent, the minimum OVR gets lower, so you can gradually work your way down to Jindrak.

Then delete Edge and D-Von, and you can save the stable with just Angle and Jindrak.

Finished my first season, pretty interesting storylines they got. Thought it was abit strange how it skipped months, which is anoying as they could have at least kept your Raw/Smackdown program going even if it was the other brands PPV. Finished up the year as IC champion. Think I might turn it to a higher difficulty for the next year.

Almost completed the amateur challenges, just got to do the Reverse 10 strikes, which I hate as I almost never time it right. Done the grapple one pretty easy.

Haven't created any belts or ppv's yet, although I did go through the pre-made Royal Rumble. Rumble's are so much more fun this year.

Rey vs. Andre was fun. Got him counted out.

Now I was doin superstar challenge but I can't get the Royal Rumble beat so I'ma go back to rising star and beat that one through then do Rumble again.

At least the challenges give me somethin to do. I still want to get Trish as a manager for that will be the last thing for me to do in Season mode... ya know.

I beat them first time with The Undertaker. Be someone with high strength like Taker or Big Show, or be Batista against Flair/HHH.

Yeah, I've tried Undertaker, Andre the Giant, Triple H, Rock and Angle.

I don't see why going up against Triple H who is almost as strong as Batista and much better than him in every other category makes sense.

Beat all the challanges except for the legend ones, which I have yet to unlock.

A couple of questions on the game:

Is there any way to have champions come out with their titles in exhibition mode?

Is it possible to carry over the stats from a previous season into a new season while choosing a different wrestler? When I said I wanted to carry over the stats, it just brought me straight back to the beginning of my last season with Shelton Benjamen, without asking me if I wanted to be a different wrestler.

Use Andre for the Rumble challange. It's pretty much impossible to lose. All you have to do to eliminate people with him is stun them, then grapple them. This picks them up above your head, then you can just walk over to the ropes with them and press o again to toss em out.

Just had two very cool moments happen. Was in a tag match with Taker as my partner against Cena and Matt Hardy. At the end of the match I tagged in and Taker gave Cena the Last Ride whilst I was perched on the top rope. After he slammed down Cena I came off the top with a frog splash for the 3. Looked awesome.

Another moment was in a Hell in a Cell match against Triple H. We (my CAW and trips) were on top of the cell and I gave him Booker T's scoop slam, the one with the knee's before the slam, and when it came to the slam part, we were right at the edge of the roof and I slammed him off. He bounced around and somehow got onto the table. I then hit the harlem hangover off the top and splatted Triple H through the table. Very awesome moment. :cool:

Battle Vince at WrestleMania inside the cell if you complete the little match he has set for you. The ending is pretty nice. After you winthere is this cutscene when they have you put Vince on the announce table and then you slowly climb the cage. I was on Raw so JR was yellin like crazy. Then they have you dive off and deliver this elbow on Vince. It looked nice. Yeah I'm losin just about all fun in the game. I'ma be lookin for new CAw's to create just to try to make the game more fun for me.

I rented this the other day (absolutely shocked they had it), and I'm really enjoying it.

The depleted roster sucks, but I'm enjoying the Story mode (it's my first time through, so I haven't had to repeat anything yet, so it all feels fresh), and I like the Challenges. I still haven't got the knack of reversing finishers. I used to be able to do that all the time in HCTP, but the timing is slightly different in SvR.

I'm being pretty cheap as far as the challenges go. Any opportunity I have to put myself in a huge mismatch, I do. For example, the ones where you're supposed to make three eliminations in a Chamber match, I set up Kurt Angle vs. Stacy vs. Torrie vs. Victoria vs. Molly vs. Sable. I got all five women to tap out. But, hey, whatever it takes to get through the set-up stuff faster so I can do my sim stuff, right?

Oh, and for the record, I am dominant as Jindrak. I'm not going to buy a network adapter, but if I did...

My high point on the game so far was winning my Last Man Standing match for the US Title by hitting the Mark of Excellence onto a table. Unfortunately, it didn't break, but it looked cool.

well after winnin the royal rumble you get ready for the big title match against the champion... lose the match.

After you lose the match you are in the Trish storyline, which isn't so hot.

and the main event to win Trish is a triple threat tag team ladder match... for Trish's panties. :roll:

And the stupid thing is that you still have to hang on to those things for dear life before they come down. It's like they are either super elastic or frozen rock solid to continue hangin after someone grabs hold of them and won't come down unless they yank and yank at them.

11-22-2004, 04:50 PM
i actually like the commentary, the voice overs are not that bad, but what makes me hate them is the fact that they totally killed the rest of the game just by being there, they made season shorter, less flexible (customizing roster, viewing past stats, etc.), and they also took out room for so many other features.. i hope they scrap the voice overs next year, but keep the commentary and the call names for entrances

loopydate
11-22-2004, 04:53 PM
I don't mind the call names. I think that's a cool touch.

But when the announcers are commenting about people who haven't entered the ring yet in an Elimination Chamber, or speculating whether my 10-minute Iron Man Match will "go thirty seconds or thirty minutes," I can do without them.

It's a nice touch, but if they're going to put in commentary, they should do it right or not do it at all.
