I'm really looking forward to Smackdown vs Raw. From what I've seen so far, Yukes have really put the Wii remote to good use and overall it looks ace.

But one thing that's bothering me a little is the graphics. They look ok for the most part but it's bugging me that even the original Day of Reckoning on the GC looks so much better. It's so obvious that the graphics are straight from the PS2 version and that nothing has been upgraded. The least they could've done was added a bit more detail to the environments and some shine to the wrestlers coz at the moment they look quite bland. The crowd looks pretty crappy too.

I'm hopingthey will upgrade the graphics and at the moment they're just using the PS2 graphics while they sort everything else out.

Now I know some people will say, just get the 360 version, but the only reason I'm getting this game is because of the controls. It's just that I wish they'd make the game look a little better.

here's a few sample shots so you all can decide.

I think it looks good. I mean they don't have that high end look but I doubt the console is really being pushed that hard by the title.

I think it looks fine but they should polish up the characters a little more to make it look more realistic, and i also wish the animations look realistic.

That's what I was thinkin' about the wrestlers. At the moment they look quite flat.

Looks better in motion than thoses screens but it still isn't good enough. DoR2 beats the crap out of it. The textures were WAY better. The lighting also. Everything graphics related is better in DoR2. They weren't even jaggies in DoR2. This one is full of it.

I think it's a PS2 port. Looks like it anyway. They should make DoR3 instead.

They should have just made DoR3 from the ground up instead of this PS2 port. The thing that annoys me is that they took out some of the modes on the PS3 and 360 versions just to make the WIi version more casual friendly.

Does the PS2 version have the extra modes you're talking about?

I think its the same as the Wii version minus the controls, but in inerviews the developers have said that the 360, and PS3 verssions were conisidered for the hardcore fans but they made the controls easier to play with the Wii version.

Ok, so the control scheme is different but everything is the same as the PS2 version. Then that means that it isn't watered down for Wii users since it's the same as the PS2 version. Unless of course the PS2 version is also watered down for casual players.

Nah, the PS2 version won't have been watered down. From what I understand, the Wii version is pretty much the same as the PS2 version but with different (hopefully better) controls, where as the PS3 and 360 versions have added gameplay features (Like the fighting styles that vary the wrestlers more) and they've added some other things that take advantage of the extra power of the 2 consoles. As long as the controls are good, there's a decent story mode, CAW, roster and varied match types, I don't care what the PS3 and 360 versions have.

I've just edited one of the shots now. It's not perfect but it shows just how much better it would look with some better lighting effects. It definately gives it a lot more character. ORIGINAL: ENHANCED:

Well yes, easy to enhance with a still.

The problem is making it enhanced in real time.

Yeah I know that but I'm just saying that with some better lighting the game would look great. But I doubt it would be too hard for them to change a few things here and there. Even if it was just lighting and not all the textures in the game.

Honestly I have no idea how light would be added like that.

Are those the confirmed images from the game or is that before final polish?

These are definately official images. But there's still some time to go before it's released so maybe they will polish them up.

Its not looking bad, but its unfair to compare it to 360 or PS3. As a Wii game, its looking fine
