Smackdown vs Raw 2007 is a great new addition to the franchise. It just doesn't really reinvent the series all that much
Simply put it plays alot like last years game. Although they changed up the grappling. Now you use the right thumbstick instead of a button to do your grapples. It doesn't change it up all that much but it does feel more realistic. If your playing a one on one much the game plays superb, the problem comes when more than one person is in the ring. They will do some stupid stuff alot. The elimination chamber shows this off quite a bit. When your outside of the ring in this match all they will do is irish whip you and climb the cage. Even the super heaveywheights will do this.
Graphics:
The player models are very nice and detailed, if you take a look at john cena or kurt angle they look identical to there real life counterparts. The problem comes with the animations, they don't look all that hot, there reused from last year.
Sound:
The voice acting is well doen and the moves and strikes sound pretty good. Although just like always the announcing sucks. They reuse the same lines over and over. It get's really annoying.
Value:
There is alot to do in this game. You have a season mode which has enough lengh to keep you happy. The GM mode is back and with more stuff to do. There are a ton of match types and online play that works well, but is a little slow.
Tilt:
The game is alot of fun to be had. The match types are varied and interesting, Thankfully they took out the bra and panties match which was just boring as hell. Overall:
Overall if you liked past smackdown games your going to like smackdown vs Raw 2007. If your looking for something that totally reinvents the series this isn't it. But it's deffinitially worth checking out.
