    This is actually the first WWE game that I've bought for the PS3 after having played many games for the PS2. One thing I learned about these games, is that it is best to save the review until after awhile, because you notice things wrong with the game after playing it for awhile rather than right away. Which is why many "professional" reviews are often misleading. This game still has tooThis is actually the first WWE game that I've bought for the PS3 after having played many games for the PS2. One thing I learned about these games, is that it is best to save the review until after awhile, because you notice things wrong with the game after playing it for awhile rather than right away. Which is why many "professional" reviews are often misleading. This game still has too many flaws in it. Flaws, that while are excusable with PS2, should not be excusable with a next-generation system like the PS3. Flaws like Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole saying stuff like "He has the belt now. But will he still have it this Sunday" when the champion or number one contender wasn't even wrestling. Another flaw, which is kind of funny, is sometimes when a wrestler becomes a new champion, at the end of the match a graphical glitch makes it look like somebody shoved the belt up his anus. lol. Other problems is the storyline and create a character are still too long and tedious to even bother with. Good things about the game is WWE Universe is okay. Would love it to be expanded so that match decisions and type of matches, etc had more meaning in terms of injuries, ratings etc.… Expand

    There is absolutly no tutorial for this game. So starting to play it is a little bit hard. Controls are goofy and weird. And after a short play this is all I can say. But the game has potential so the rating can't be lover than 6

    Besides the horrible lip-syncing, the real tedious grapple holds and the completely unnerving backstage brawls, the games still seems to hold its ground as one of the most entertaining titles this year.

    An acquired taste, but streamlined and authentic. [Christmas 2010, p.90]

    Overall SDvR11 is an excellent game with fabulous offline features. If the online wasn't broken I'd most definitely be scoring this game higher, nevertheless if you're a wrestling fan or even a closet wrestling fan, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 is the game you should be purchasing or requesting at Christmas.
