SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006

[The Master]

Uh...

[Mr. Keith]

Where's Canadian Hitman at, he'd shed a tear of joy after seeing that picture.

[The Master]

Someone has to show him this! Does he have an AIM account?

[J Marv]

So someone actually had to spend time to create a lifelike version of Gene Snitsky?

I hope he was well paid.

[The Master]

What I find most interesting is that they chose not to clear up his complexion.

[Mr. Keith]

Nope, but just give me a minute and I'll check the Oratory to see what hi....

[J Marv]

What I find most interesting is that they chose not to clear up his complexion.

Really? It's quite obvious to me as to why.

Some poor artist and animator had to watch all the footage of Gene Snitsky they could get their hands on in order to get a feel for his look and mannerisms. Do you really think these people would be in any position to flatter him? I don't.

[The Master]

Good point.

And I was finally able to access the mainpage and RRC archives, but Hitman never posted his e-mail addy in the "what did the forums think" sections. Oh well.

[genet]

Digital Snitsky actually looks better than real Snitsky.

[S-T]

is anyone planning on getting this game?

I rented Smackdown vs. Raw, but found I didn't like it as well as Showdown: Legends of Wrestling. I'll probably rent this one, to see if it worth buying.

[The Master]

Though I've never done this with a Smackdown game, I'm going to read several reviews first. Frankly, I wasn't all that impressed with SDvR, and I don't want to waste my money again.

[Cash]

Well, there goes my religion again. Finding it was so hard before... and now I've done lost it all over again

[Blane]

Well, there goes my religion again. Finding it was so hard before... and now I've done lost it all over again

We're you in the corner?

I hear that can cause that.

[S-T]

I rented it, and liked it enough that I bought it. It truly is the best wrestling game since No Mercy.

[S-T]

This is on several web sites as the way to unlock Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

Unlock this legend by buying it in WWE SmackDown!Vs.RAW 2006 on the PSP system and copying it onto the console

This is lame! There are a lot of PS2 owners who don't have and don't indend to buy a PSP. It is silly that the game would require the purchase of another game and another game system to unlock something in SvR '06.

:grumble:

[The Master]

I think you can unlock him using the Action Replay Max.

[Chops]

It won't surprise me at all for more games to start having unlockables like this. Hell, when the Gamecube was released a big part of it's marketing was directed at the connectivity to the GBA, atleast before Nintendo forgot about it.

[S-T]

After having had this one for a while, the biggest dissapointment is the small number of storylines. As far as I know, this is the complete list of storylines

Raw, pre-Rumble:

• Unlikely Allies
  
• Special Story
  
• Legends Tour
  

Smackdown, pre-Rumble:

• Undertaker's Urn
  
• Torrie's Contract
  
• Legends Tour
  

Raw, post-Rumble:

• Batista as Champ
  
• HHH as Champ
  

Smackdown, post-Rumble:

• You ran down Teddy Long
  
• RVD ran down Teddy Long
  

Also, right before the Rumble you have the "Time to Rumble" mini-storyline which is identical for both brands.

Didn't previous Smackdown games have many more possible storylines, that were much more interactive? I haven't played any of them except for when I rented the first SDvR, so I have virtually no first-hand experience.

SDvR 2006 is a good game, but I hope the story mode is significantly improved next year.

[The Master]

I'm thinking of buying this one when it hits $20, but only for the GM mode. Is it worth it?

[D.W.]

No.

[S-T]

I don't think the GM mode is worth it. I didn't find it all that interesting. If you're buying the game for the GM mode, wait for SDvR 2007, which is supposed to have an extended GM mode.

THQ needs to drop the long-winded promos. They're fun at first, but become completely tiresome when going through the same storyline the 2nd or third time. If it came down to it, I would rather have text-based storylines that offer many more branches and options.

The game really needs a tournament mode, whether it is called King of the Ring or not. Also, bring back the "league" mode from WCW/NWO World Tour. That was so cool.
