**Official WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 Impressions Thread**

[Spear]

Damn, this game flew under the radar for me. The IGN video review was really impressive but still left me with some questions.

I'm extremely intrigued about this Create-A-Storyline mode but I'm a little confused. Is it completely separate to the Career/GM Mode that they used to have? Are you controlling the whole show or just the storyline?

Are the storylines being downloaded from THQ's server? or are they coming from a SD vs Raw community?

Hopefully somebody can clear this up for me...

I haven't bought a wrestling game in a while but this might push me over the edge since I've always loved EWR/TEW.

As far as I've seen, it is completely different than Career and GM Mode and you can make storylines for any show, but I don't think it's EWR style. EDIT: After quick browsing it, it does appear to have some sort of linear thing to it.

And you can create them, you can get user created ones and, I think, there may be some coming directly from WWE themselves...but don't quote me on this.

Having not owned a SvR game since 07, this game is freaking amazing, from the in ring stuff, to all the stuff you can create, to the storylines...it's probably the deepest wrestling game I've ever seen on any console. Not quite TEW customization, but lets be honest, that's almost impossible.

Its pretty cool that...

You can play with locked(maybe DLC also) charaters in a downloaded story despite not having the wrestler unlocked....Also, If a creator changed a costume color on a wrestler for his story, the wrestler will keep that scheme once you DL it....Thats awesome especially if a stable/tag team was formed and rocks the same color ala MVP and Henry..

Thanks for the info OSU.

I've been watching some people play the game on Justin.tv and I think I'm going to pull the trigger soon. It's hard finding time for all the great games this year, I guess I wont be getting an NBA game.

I remember hearing that you can create custom titantrons for this years game. Is that in? If so, can you upload a video to use or just use highlights from your other matches. You can upload music right? I would really like to create the World's Greatest Tag Team and that would be kind of hard if I couldn't upload their titantron haha. Thanks!

[goh]

Silver can't upload/download stories or CAWs. Not that my best story idea would've lasted long anyway. Though my 2nd idea of having John Morrison talk only in Doors songs might've been funny for some but also might've been taken down.

It'd be nice if you could edit more than the colors. I hate Edge not coming out with the trenchcoat and sunglasses but I guess he'd have to lose his pants if he did so maybe that's not so bad.

This game is so horribly out of date. Usually it's not this out of date until 2 weeks after release.

I also hate the out of ring camera.

Had some really good matches so far.

Yes.

Not only that, but you can take highlights from your matches and use that in the video as well.

Damn between NHL 10, Uncharted 2 and the soon to be purchased COD 6 and God of War collection I didn't even think about this game. Then I thought "you know what, this game can wait a few months if it's any good when I get sick of the others and it will probably be cheaper or I can get it used"

Then I saw all these steller reviews and from user reviews and I've wanted a good wrestling game for so long and I want Austin in it so I thought" well now I have to buy it today from Gamestop so I can get the Austin code"

So I got it from gamestop, thankfully they have copies but I got it before I played squash, got home late and I have to get up early tomorrow so I can't play it until tomorrow because I know I'll be up half the nite. I'm still in the middle of U2, so many games and so little time.

Anyway to make a long story even longer. What legends are in the game, besides Rock and Austin, and I assume I can download other people's CAW's online to fill out my CAW slots. How many slot are there for the PS3?
