    Amazing, easily the best wrestling game ever. Tons of customisation, loads of DLC, good online, road to wrestlemania mode is entertaining, create-a-storyline is much better, and WWE Universe mode is compelling. I am very much enjoying this game and would recommend it to any WWE fan.

    Awesome game, better than last year. An improvement on everything especially the fighting styles, the grounbreaking as ever with the series and a superb sountrack tops it off.

    This game is fun, but flawed. The new suped up weapon controls provide hours of crazy stunts, but the moveset control and stiffness really slows down the game. The WWE Universe mode is fantastic and provides endless fun and storylines which you can sink hours in to. The RTWM mode has some good storylines, but gets VERY boring and frustrating having to trump around backstage for ages, toThis game is fun, but flawed.

The WWE Universe mode is fantastic and provides endless fun and storylines which you can sink hours in to. The RTWM mode has some good storylines, but gets VERY boring and frustrating having to trump around backstage for ages, to the point where you just want to turn it off. The game features some glitches and is so unpolished, it's either crazy fun or very annoying, nowhere near as polished as it's predecessor. Not bad, overall.… Expand

    After a four year hiatus from the Smackdown series, curiosity took the best of me, and I decided to give Smackdown vs Raw 2011 the benefit of the doubt with a weekendâ

    THQ's lastes WWE venture hits the spot with the addition of WWE Universe, updated roster, great physics and updated online play. This is a must purchase for any wrestling fan.

    I like this game alot. It runs pretty smoothly and it's the best wrestling game I've seen in a long time. It's not perfct, but it's a very good game. My only peeve is the fact that you can't climb on the announce table and put your opponent through it, and that you can only go in certain areas on the ramp and stage in a falls count anywhere match..technically you can't go "anywhere."

One of these days, THQ will make the perfect wrestling game..maybe by 2020. :)… Expand

    It is a decent game, however i have a few problems:

    You can only defend the main championships at WWE pay-per-views, Ezekiel's Jackson's finisher is the basically the Book-End or King End and there is only one set of commentators in the game (jerry lawler and michael cole). Create a titantron has been taken out and it wasn't that good in svr 2010. Apart from them flaws, i think you    It is a decent game, however i have a few problems:

    Apart from them flaws, i think you should not hesitate in buying it. There is better online, lots of dlc and unlockables and awesome wrestling which is why we are buying it.

    My favorite WWE game, enjoyable gameplay mechanics, good amount of content, great character customization, and a decent career mode.

    This is a great game. I think the game play held up surprisingly well for how long this has been out. It has a really cool road to wrestle mania series, and John Cena on the cover. What more could you ask for? Well, you can also create your own season (sorry idk what to call them i'm not an active consumer of the wwe), and make your own cut scenes too! Really fun game

    One of the greatest wrestling games of all time. The graphics look amazing, Universe Mode is fun, customization is great, Road to Wrestlemania is fun and engaging, and it almost never stops being fun. It truly deserves a 10/10

    With WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2011, the series is starting to show its age. Despite being a recent release, the graphics and the sound start to feel old, and major gaffes have remained in those areas despite being singled out in several reviews.

    A very decent update of a game that's sadly years - no, generations - past its prime. [Jan 2011, p.81]

    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.
