    Yuke's and THQ set the bar quite high with last year's rendition of this franchise, and they could have easily taken the year off and rested on their accomplishments. It is quite impressive to see that the development team has stayed hungry and added some key elements to this franchise that fans are going to go absolutely wild over.

    The lack of many big name legends is a shortcoming, but the massive amount of customization options and user created content will keep any fan playing for months.

    There isn't much innovation here, yet the controls have been utterly fixed, the new Havoc phisics do their job and WWE Universe is a funny diversion. It's a shame that some mechanics aren't yet perfect, even after so many years of developing.

    The balance of simplicity and depth throughout is impressive and should draw in new players without disappointing old fans of the series.

    The usual series update with some nice gameplay additions, a subtle and successful evolution feature and a story mode that fails altogether.

    Aside from the WWE Universe and pitiful backstage portions of Road to Wrestlemania, SvR 2011 just doesn't add much from last year's game.

    Every year this moribund franchise goes without a complete overhaul the more obvious and unacceptable its half-decade old problems become.

    I'm only about 4 hours in so it may be a bit early to give a score, but I can say the create a superstar mode is unbelievable. I got lost inI'm only about 4 hours in so it may be a bit early to give a score, but I can say the create a superstar mode is unbelievable. I got lost in all the options - it's great.

    The throws off the Hell In A Cell are crazy. I may have killed Rey Mysterio last night.

    The blood is GREAT. If you bust a dude open you get blood on your hands and on the weapon, if you use one. The blood splat was clearly visible on the chair I used. I played as CM Punk and at the end of my match the tape on my striking hand was stained red and there was blood on my chest from the other dude.

    I started a Road To Wrestlemania w/Jericho and so far so good. Good matches, good interaction. Navigating the wrestlers is a bit of a pain but still alright. It's the freaky choppy kind of over the shoulder/first person view that's good for giving headaches.

    I got bored pretty quickly w/2010 but 2011 looks like it has a lot more content and fun stuff to do.

    I sure do miss the strong grapple/weak grapple of the N64 games though. Best wrestling games ever made, but this is close enough.    … Expand

    Best WWE SVR Game. The gameplay is fun. Physics are crazy. Match types are good. Story designer is sick. Road To Wrestlemania was awesome.

    I absolutely love this game. All the little features that have been added just make this game the ultimate place to satisfy your wrestlingI absolutely love this game. All the little features that have been added just make this game the ultimate place to satisfy your wrestling needs. I am very impressed with with the implementation of a new physics system which at first I was a little skeptical about as the footage presented at e3 revealed a lot of bugs. However I can confirm that this has been sorted out. The way in which superstArs crash into objects each with their own unique animation is something wresting games have been needing for years. Saying that the same stale animations that crop up year after year remain and this is something I have been wanting changed for years. Whilst I like the new editions, I think thq are missing the point and fail to focus on the actual gameplay . next year I would like to see a complete overhaul. On reflection though the game is gorgeous and robust. Characters exhibit lifelike features that contribute to the players immersion in the game. Top this of with over 100 and you've got a great game. I really do recommend it but as a fan I want a complete overhaul to the animations next year, let's starts a petition !!!!!… Expand
