So.....
I've had the game since Friday night.
What can I say, probably the best SmackDown VS RAW so far, I haven't had this much fun since Here Comes The Pain.
The SuperStar Threads is awesome. Being able to change peoples attire colours is so cool, updating people etc is awesome.
On a related note you can choose your attire during Road To WrestleMania for the relevent superstars. For example, i'm currently going through as Edge and I can choose his default black attire, and the 3 I created (Red, Blue & White) makes it alot mor realistic for shows and such.
Most of the core gameplay elements are the same as last year, reversals seem easier with one button, the chain grappling is good and the hard grapples are also pretty cool.
The CAW seems pretty indepth and 3D parts look better, they look alot more realistic this year.
Create-A-Story is absolutly stunning. The scenes are a great selection, I hope they patch it and add more scenes though as I can see some of them being repetative. But the whole realism effect is fantastic, the presentation is spot on.
For my first story, here's a brief rundown:
The show starts with a limo pulling up and all you see is the feet of the person getting out... Cole and King comment on who it maybe.
First match Carlito VS Kofi
After match cuts to backstage with Lillian interviewing the guest host of RAW for tonight...The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.
He talks about how its great to be back and that he's gonna make RAW more of a gamble by doing a RAW Roulette.
Match 2: Evan Bourne VS Chavo
Million Dollar Man is shown backstage with Maria with a RAW roulette wheel, he spins it and it stops randomly, they then announce the first roulette match will be a ladder match between 2 of Ted's favourite superstars, Chris Jericho & Kane
Shawn Michaels is seen walking backstage smiling on his way to the ring.
As he's walking toward the ring he gets an unprovoked attack by Chris Jericho.
Jericho then enters the ring and says he doesnt have to explain himself to the parasites of the WWE Universe and that Shawn Michaels wont be taking the limelight from him tonight.
Shawn is then shown taken away from Ringside on stretcher in pain.
Chris Jericho is shown walking back to the locker room only to then be jumped by Triple H with a lead pipe and told "you mess with my friends you mess with me, good luck against kane tonight"
Jericho then starts his ladder match against Kane with 25% health on him and all his body red with the condition as playing the match you have to beat Kane as Jericho to progress the story.
The commentary on the actual match commented that Jericho has a "sore head" which I thought was cool.
I did plan to have before his match Jericho going to Ted saying he will not fight Kane tonight as he is worth "more then a match against a freak" but I didnt have Jericho's suit attire unlocked yet so wanted to wait before I added that back in to the story.
The Royal Rumble is really enjoyable, the mini games of elimination make it alot more entertaining to eliminate people, its alot of fun as well as the individual entrances
I'm really enjoying it and if anyone has any questions ill do my best to answer them here
