THQ sends players back to the ring with WWE SMACKDOWN! VS RAW 2006 for the PS2. Featuring many of today’s top wrestlers, an intriguing WWE/RAW storyline, and some new tweaks that make the game much more than a button-masher. WWE SMACKDOWN! VS RAW 2006 features nearly every major player in either the WWE or the RAW roster. With all these characters, including the WWE divas, players will surely find at least one of their favorites. In previous WWE games, each character had the same four grappling attacks, in the 2006 game, each wrestler is assigned four out of seven different styles of fighting and moves. This adds a layer of strategy to the game that requires players to master each character’s abilities. Another addition is stamina and momentum. As wrestlers battle it out, they will lose a little bit of stamina for each move they execute. The more moves they do, however, and the more exciting the match becomes, the more momentum they built up. These two additions stop players from relying on a button-mashing series of powerful moves yet also require them to perform some of the impressive actions or risk losing momentum and the crowd. In addition to these tweaks and the huge roster of wresters, WWE SMACKDOWN! VS RAW 2006 includes a number of different gameplay modes, matches, and hidden characters and costumes. All of the intense WWE and RAW excitement is here, and gamers who love watching the wrestling shows will really enjoy playing the game. Special Features The wrestlers from WWE and RAW provide voices, as do commentators Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole, and Tazz. The soundtrack includes pieces tracks by Dillinger Escape Plan, Bumpy Knuckles, and other licensed music.Read full review
Great title. Awesome graphics, smooth gameplay, realistic wrestling, and incredible character selection. The game has a great selection of basically any match you can imagine. Season mode is also fun. The storylines are funny but can get boring after awhile especially if you rather just play the matches. Matches and wrestler's attributes are scarily realistic. Momentmum is a big factor in any match, just as in the WWE. Create-a-superstar and online play will keep you playing the game with new characters months after you beat the game. By finding the correct configurations online, you can create classic superstars like the Ultimate Warrior, Kevin Nash, Razor Ramon, & basically anyone you could think of. I would definitely recommend buying this game, especially if you have any interest in wrestling whatsoever. If you have any questions about the game, don't hesitate to contact me!Read full review
I have to agree that Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 is the best to date but, i will have to disagree when it comes to charactor creation. The game does not offer enough hair styles or clothes to create many charactors. I would also have liked to have been able to edit the superstars appearance. Also THQ must have been in a real hurry to release the game where they didn't notice the Smackdown opening video shows wrestlers not included in the game. And in case they didn't notice Tazz says to Cole the match might last 60 mins and Cole replys that he wished it would last an hour. With the many flaws i found in Smackdown Vs Raw i would still have to say it is the best wrestling game since No Mercy. Yet, there is nothing to compare it to since WWE has no competition.
Ok so we're do I begin I own a ps4 ps3 and my mom and dad from my fiance's side are giving me a ps2 practically brand new I'm a huge WWE wwf ufc anything you name it fan I watched wrestling back when stone cold rock and John Cena wasn't who they was today I have every wwe game on the ps4 and the ps3 and if you don't have this classic or 2007 from eBay also try getting 2010 because 2010 you can cap your abilities out at 98 99 your missing out iv owned every wwe game out for every system you known from sony.

Verified purchase: No
This game is pretty sweet. You have a ton of freedom in creating your own fighter, from what they look like to what fighting style you want. The gameplay is simple but not dumbed down. The ability to reverse moves takes some getting used to but is well worth it. This game has crazy replay factor because it gives you soooo many game modes to pick from and the story mode gives you a touch of choice making ability, although nothing you do really changes the outcome either way. All in all I give this a 4 out of 5. If your a fan of the WWE I can't see how you wouldn't enjoy this game.
