Aaron layeth the smacketh downeth on this years spandex-clad outing in WWE Smackdown Vs Raw…
The real life WWE is something of an entertainment phenomenon with millions of fans across the world.
Yes, we all know that wrestling isnt entirely real.
Here we have the 2010 edition of THQs long-running series.
The entrance, moveset, and finisher tools are back, again, slightly tweaked.
Youre given 10 years to play with, and the creation tools are very easy to use.
Better still, all user created content can be uploaded to the PlayStation data pipe to share with others.
you’re free to add some rudimentary effects, add graphics and text and so on.
Then, once saved, this can be uploaded to the PSN.
PS3 owners also have the option to uploaded highlight reels directly to YouTube, which is a nifty gimmick.
A nice touch, and one that I can imagine many fans labouring over.
But I just wanna play!
But overall, theyre all enjoyable while they last.
The control system, while remaining largely unchanged, has been refined slightly.
The onscreen indicators are also gone, as is the previous momentum system.
Now, the only indicator onscreen is a floating circle around your wrestlers feet.
As time goes by, and no hits are made, or you take damage, this momentum drops.
This alteration also seems to have resulted in the slight streamlining of the controls.
Whereas in 2009 Wrestlers could have plenty of finishers, here the number is reduced.
Each superstar can now have only two finishers and two signature moves.
Big red mess
The general feel of the combat is now much better than before, too.
There are still masses of other additions and refinements that further bolster the games feature list.
