Smackdown! Vs. Raw was a big success on the PlayStation 2, selling over 2 million units worldwide, so it was inevitable that we would see a sequel. The newly created “Momentum System” and “Stamina System” will require players to wrestle much more tactically in order to conserve energy. As with the first Smackdown! Vs. Raw, the latest addition will also feature online play, this time promising to offer a virtual WWE community for fans to face-off in intensive wrestling competition. As well as gameplay updates, expect the game to include all the latest roster changes from the draft lotteries that have recently taken place.
“WWE SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2006 showcases all of the excitement and energy of the WWE,” said Peter Dille, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, THQ. “The WWE is one of the premier franchises in the industry and this title is primed to deliver the most intense wrestling gameplay along with true-to-life graphics, resulting in the deepest and most realistic wrestling experience ever.“
“WWE SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2006 combines online gaming elements and new features, allowing gamers to have more control over Superstar energy levels throughout the game play in order to deliver the ultimate wrestling experience,” said Nelo Lucich, vice president of interactive, JAKKS Pacific. “We’re confident that this title has been crafted to offer the best WWE action to date.“
WWE Smackdown! Vs. Raw is due for a worldwide release this Autumn on the PlayStation 2.
