Smackdown vs Raw 2011 is a great game but some online bugs can ruin it and some things can be a little or major pain.
In Smackdown vs Raw 2011 you have a new physics system where you can break tables from strong grapples, break ladders, do a finisher off a ladder into a table, and a lot more you can do, but if you really want to expect something amazing like doing a finisher off a ladder into a table you will sometimes have to set the objects up which can be a challenge unless your playing with another controller. Another new thing is the hell in a cell there are no doors and you have to break out of the cell wall to escape now. There is only 1 cell wall you can break and doing it is can be a pain.
Smackdown vs Raw 2011 contains over 60 wrestlers including legends, most of the entrances are accurate, wrestlers look great, the customization for SvR is great new things to create your create-a-wrestler. Superstar threads to edit WWE superstars outfit color, create-a-finisher is still there, you can create signs, and in entrances you can upload a song you have on your system and put the song as a theme song for a wrestler. For example, if you have a Metallica song on your Ps3 you can put it as a theme song for Cody Rhodes or Steve Austin. The story designer has more options to choose from which is fantastic for people who love to create a good WWE storyline.
The new Road to Wrestlemania is great you can move your wrestler around but moving to far away places can be tiring, and unlocking legends are a bit of a problem. In SvR11 you have to unlock WWE legends by completing challenges for a specific wrestler. For example to unlock Ricky Steamboat you have to finish all challenges for Chris Jericho and walking around in RTWM to find the challenger gets tiring and confusing. RTWM are still short and you can choose 5 stories to play from.
Online in SvR11 is fun and thrilling the online supports up to 12 players now. You can play more game modes ,such as Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, Armageddon Hell in a Cell ,and Money In the Bank. They all are fun, but sometimes playing with a lot of players can be extremely laggy. Sometimes when you win online matches and disconnect it turns into a loss which can really piss you off so remember to not disconnect after you win. You can also share your creations, upload created wrestlers, highlight reels, stories, created move sets, and more.
Overall Smackdown vs Raw 2011 is good but could of been better. It offers satisfying game play, satisfying online, fantastic customization,a Universe mode, and a well updated roster. The downside are the online bugs, tiring walks in RTWM, new physics system isn't that fun, and it can become a little repetitive after you finish everything in SvR11 unless you really love editing and creating new things.
