    Feels old gen and not next gen, and their lies it's major problem. A must for only the most seasonal WWE fan. The series seriously needs some completion (TNA we are looking at you) as to stop the lazy ports of Smackdown v Raw That we are currently having to play through. Could be so much better.

    I can't believe that, with all the technology available today, this is the best that can be done for a wrestling game. I mean the games graphics look good, but the gameplay tells me that it needed to cook in the oven a little longer.

    This game is so totally awesome esspecially the graphics.Even though its begining to feel like another tony hawk series its still a great game any wrestling fan new or wcw old should love. By the way the new control system is the rock,stone cold,goldberg,hulk hogan and batista all combined,aka:super fun!!!

    The roster update is nice, and the graphics pretty solid. But there are still some serious gameplay issues lingering around from last time, and some new ones added. First it is entirely to easy to climb out of a steel cage, those matches should be at least 15-20 minute battles. Basically the first guy to nail his finisher wins. 2nd, why the hell did they make it so damn hard to recvoer from a move this year? Playing with my kid, I got a little tired of just getting owned after falling to the mat from a punch. Also I would have liked to have seen some NEW match modes, and why aren't the ECW guys in there? Its a 360 game, we should have complete rosters. It is nice to see some new legends available, and season mode is a lot better than last year. This is a must for WWE fans, but the casual fan might lose interest. Expand

    This game is a big upgrade from last year better story mode, and the music is ok. If you a WWE fan get this game if not then try renting it first.

    Great Graphics, AWESOME Soundtrack, great entrances, awsome create modes. Some buggy spots, the brain chop for sure. Also I HATE how the audience has like 3 cloned people and they're 2D! So You never see the backs of them, they always face the cam with there reapeatd taunts, great sign selection, and good Ultimate control grapples. 9.7/10

    A bad PS2 port with all the minor graphical updates and enless loading screens to go with it! For every new thing they added to the core gameplay mechanic, they took away with equal measure such as the fewer clothing and body/face sculpting options in create a wrestler mode to the alaming amount of "Tap any button" once youve hit the canvass...not even a semi-automatic rapid fire capable control pad can rise you to your feet before your opponent grabs you for more crunchin' THQ/Jakks/Yukes need to do far better and STOP making the PS2 version first then just porting it across to the others...I know its the biggest user base and biggest return on your work quickly but we...as gamers...are starting to notice more and more!

    This is the best smackdown! vs. raw game ever. I haven't actually got the chance to buy it but i have played it and it is intense!

    WWE Smackdown! vs. RAW 2007 has its moments, but the 4 player gameplay turns out to be a free for all mash fest. Confusion ensues when also playing six player matches. If you're into the WWE games, buy it; if you're unsure, rent it first.

    It's good. But, the graphics have numerous problems which shouldn't be there considering the kind of power the system is offering.

  1. If you love wrestling, it'll make you squeal - if you don't, you'll think it's broken. [Dec 2006, p.68]
  2. Tag matches still feel like handicap matches, mainly owing to the fact that your AI-controlled partner doesn't actually do all that much, even when you call for help.
  3. But, for as fresh as it seems, it also feels horrendously outdated in terms of story and characters. [Dec. 2006, p.128]
