WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011 (PS3, Xbox 360, PS2)

The Good: Create-A-Story upgrades with branching storylines. This was the big feature in the 2010 game, and this year, they made it much better with the option to branch storylines and have them change depending on the choices you make. It doesn't sound like much if you're not into wrestling, but then again, you shouldn't be reading this or playing this game if that's the case. Go listen to Justin Bieber, faggot.

The Bad: Outdated. It's been out for five months, and it's already extremely outdated. Nearly half the in-game roster aren't even in WWE anymore. Shad Gaspard, Mickie James, Matt Hardy, Vance Archer, Paul Bearer, Luke Gallows, Shelton Benjamin, Batista, Mike Knox, MVP, and Chris Jericho, to name a few. Hell, I'll even list most of the people in WWE now who were either left out of the game, or debuted after the game came out: Alex Riley, Daniel Bryan, Darren Young, David Otunga, The Great Khali, Husky Harris, Jackson Andrews, Jerry Lawler, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Mason Ryan, Michael McGillicutty, Percy Watson, Skip Sheffield, Tamina, Alberto Del Rio, Booker T, Diesel, Curt Hawkins, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Joseph Mercury, Justin Gabriel, Trent Barreta, Tyler Reks, Wade Barrett, Bret Hart, Kaitlyn, Layla, Rosa Mendes, Vickie Guerrero, and Chris Masters. They DID release Chris Masters, Bret Hart, Layla, Wade Barrett, David Otunga, and Justin Gabriel as downloadable content, but even THAT'S outdated now that Barrett and Gabriel aren't members of the Nexus anymore. Several of the Championships don't even exist anymore, such as the Women's Championship and the Tag Team Championships. Some of the arenas are for events/shows that no longer exist also, such as ECW.

The Ugly: Backstage roaming. Dear God. This is the first time that backstage roaming has been in a WWE game since Shut Your Mouth. It was a pile of shit then, and it's an even bigger pile of shit now. At least it was from a first person view in Shut Your Mouth. This time around, you can't run, so it takes an hour and eleven minutes to get from your locker room to the General Manager's office. SPOILER ALERT: During Rey Mysterio's RTWM story, he basically gets 'convinced' that he's injured by John Morrison, which suddenly makes him grab his head and walk like a fucking zombie. Do you know how slow zombies are? It's like watching turtles fuck. You walk slow to begin with, then this happens and it doesn't help. But moving on. There are six rooms you can enter. The GM's office, the green room, the training room, and three... count 'em, THREE locker rooms. The camera views are fucked too.

The Game Killer: The 'new' tables, ladders, and chairs physics. This takes some explanation. Each year, the new SvR game has one huge, new feature that makes its entire selling point. This year, they went with this bullshit. In the past, they've included new features like extremely upgraded Create-A-Superstar mode, the Superstar Threads feature, and Road To WrestleMania storylines. Apparently, they're running out of ideas because this isn't going to cut it. "Hey, let's make it so that when you put someone through a table, it breaks in different ways!" "Hey, let's make it so that when you hit someone with a chair, it falls apart!" No joke. Seriously, try doing a grapple move with a chair in your hand. The shit falls apart. I've never, EVER seen a chair literally break into pieces in a real-life wrestling match.
