WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 (also shortened to WWE SvR 2011 or SVR 11) is a professional wrestling video game developed by Yuke’s and published by THQ. It is the seventh game in the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series and the last game under the SmackDown vs. Raw name, with future installments simply being named WWE.
One of the most significant modifications in the game is the addition of a new physics system that allows items such as Tables, Ladders, and Chairs can be utilized more realistically. Tables now break in a variety of ways depending on the force applied to them. Ladders can now be broken in half inside and outside the ring by resting them on the ring ropes. Chairs can be thrown at opponents for the first time since the first WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw game.
The fifth game in the SmackDown series, WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain is regarded as one of the greatest wrestling games of all time! This was a game-changer in the world of wrestling games and it is a game that still holds up very well to this day. It is arguably the best of all the PlayStation 2 wrestling games!
Become The Best!
The main single-player mode of this game is the Season Mode. Here you can pick any WWE Superstar on the roster or your own created character and try to take them to the top of the WWE. The game is really cool in that you have separate stats for your wrestler in Season Mode than you do in the other modes. So, if you picked, The Rock, for example, you can level him up and make him stronger.
Season Mode in WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain gives you a lot of leeway in what you do. It loses the first-person point of view from the previous game and instead has you using menus to move around the locker room/backstage area. I get why they did this and it does streamline things, but I do wish they let us walk around like in SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth.
A New Way To Grapple
This game changed up the gameplay considerably. You now had a new grapple system that greatly expanded the number of moves a wrestler could now do. Add to this a new submission system and a body damage system and it is just mind-blowing how much they were able to change the core gameplay while keeping the feeling of the game the same. The grapple system adds a great deal of depth to the game, but it still moves at that quick and arcady pace that the series is known for.
A Game Of Many Firsts
As well as the new grapple system WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain introduced a whole load of firsts for a WWE game. New match types The Elimination Chamber and the Bra & Panties match were included for the first time. Tons of new wrestlers were included with iconic stars such as John Cena and Batista making their debuts. This was also the first WWE game to make proper use of adding classic/legendary wrestlers to the game such as Sgt Slaughter and Rowdy Roddy Piper. The amount of new content they were able to add to this game is just staggering.
Virtual WWE
The more recent WWE games are a real mixed bag as far as the visuals go. That was not always the case and on the PlayStation 2, the first few games in the SmackDown series were known for their impressive visuals. Each wrestler has a full entrance, many have alternate attires and the arenas of which there are many all look just like they do on TV! From a looks point of view, this game is great!The only downside is the soundtrack. Yukes the people who made the WWE games always struggled with commentary and this game did away with it altogether. I do wish they had just a tad, maybe even if it was calling out just the big moves.
As you can tell, I freaking love WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain and I still fire it up a few times each year to this day. If you are a wrestling fan you already know what a great game this is. For me, it is one of the top five wrestling games of all time and it is one of those games that if you have not played it for a while, you forget just how special and good this game is.
Pros:
- Features a massive roster of WWE Super Stars
- Introduces a new fun grappling system
- Season Mode is a lot of fun
- Tons of match types including some brand new ones
- I love the visual style of the game, especially the arenas
Cons:
- It makes you see how soulless and un-fun current WWE games are!
- I do wish there was just a tad of commentary and voice acting
