WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: The “King” of all wrestling games is here!
What a great wrestling game! Now I’m not saying its a perfect game…. it certainly has one or two stupid bugs but this game has so much to offer. Whether or not you are a wrestling fan this game has a lot to make it attractive for several weeks off hard playing.

Firstly the roster of stars is great and it is a nice touch that you can “unlock” legendary stars such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock etc. Also you can create your own superstar and this is fantastic, everything from height, weight, skin tone, tattoos and much more can go into making you superstar with of course their own special set of wrestling moves. With fight experience your superstar improves and will eventually challenge for a title match!

The fights themselves are very varied with at least 12 - 16 match types, wrestlers having different styles, strenghts and weaknesses. The moves will take some time to master but then this makes the game more enjoyable and challenging.

The season mode is fun if limited and is a good way to get involved in the “story side” of wrestling. It is also a greta way of improving your wrestling skills. Although the story is pretty simple it is still entertaining.

If you like wrestling then this game will knock you down and pin you for a three count!

Customer Review: Very good, but not perfect
This games is actually good once you get into it.

I want to talk about the cons first because I consider them quite major.

This game loads like a Playstation game (long), it can get annoying.

More importantly though, when this game was developed, I think they forgot people might play it, who have never actually played a “Smackdown vs Raw” game before, especially since this is the first one for an Xbox branded console. So what I really found frustrating is that this game more than any other previous WWE game, was the lack of a practice and tutorial mode.

A tutorial mode such as the one featured in the “WWE Day or Reckoning” games on the GameCube would have been perfect.

Even the instruction book is mostly catered to those who have played a previous version.

There is so much to learn, to the point where after playing one and a half way through the season mode, I am still discovering new controls, moves and tactics.

While I like deciding upon my own in ring tactics, I don’t appreciate having to learn so many controls without help.

If you’re a casual gamer like me, this will frustrate. I don’t think I can really put into words how much a tutorial mode was needed in this.

Other than this, the problems are a bit minor. Such as: there could be more wrestlers and for some reason you can’t use WWE Legends (unlocked wrestlers, such as Bret Hart) in season mode.

On the plus side some of the modes are really good, the graphics are great and it flows quite well, but leads to button bashing when your being attacked or your on the ground trying to recover.

Steel Cage matches are as frustrating as in every wrestling game.

Money in the bank matches (6 man ladder match) while initially quite good, turns into a real struggle and can take 30min or more for someone to win.

Royal Rumble isn’t that fun, its just a survival/struggle match.

And my God the referee is always in the way, can’t he stand back a bit.

These are just a few matches though.

It’s not clear how to win these matches at first (going back to my lack of tutorial or practice complaint).

I have been playing this for over a week solid play, still enjoying it for the most part, once you have learnt it though it’s worth it.

But initially its so overwhelming, having to learn the moves customizing everything from your locker room (which is cool) to options and create character mode is quite vast and can be over complicated.

It’s almost impossible to review this with out writing forever. I haven’t even touched the online mode or create a belt mode for that reason and I only scraped the surface in the “create a character” mode.

So is it worth it? Yes it is, right now it’s the best wresting game out there. But don’t expect an easy play, only if you are willing to give it time.

For all you who know what im talking about, is it better than the legendary N64 No Mercy in terms of gameplay? erm it comes very close, but it isn’t quite as satisfying, and my God did I play that to death. This isn’t quite as balanced and doesn’t flow quite as well. It’s still more about winning than actually taking your time in ring.

The presentation is flawless and watching the entrance to Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan (old school before he made himself look silly) makes you feel nostalgic about WWF in the old days when we were kids.

Customer Review: it will save you alot of money
buy this item it will save money. buying batteries everytime your controller runs out of battery it is contributing to global warming so i reccoment this item it is economical and ecological.
Customer Review: Takes Forever!
While this is very handy if you don’t have more than one battery, or a wired controller, but if you do then it’s not very convenient, the reason being it takes absolutely ages to recharge the battery, we are talking hours upon hours and you’ll spend about quarter of your Xbox 360 gaming life effectively playing a wired controller. Sometimes it even keeps the console on even when you switch the unit off and carries on recharging, not something you want to do leaving your console whirring away all day if you have to go out to work. The best thing is to have the quick charge unit, there is no comparison, that thing is rapid, and can recharge a battery in around an hour or so, so if you have a spare battery you can alternate the two and get your backup done again in no time without ever using wires, or failing that if you have a regular wired controller, use that while you quickly recharge the battery in the quickcharge unit for an hour. The plus point is it’s only three quid more than the battery on its own but frankly if you have a quickcharge unit you won’t use it again after the first experience because it just takes so long.

Xbox Live Silver is free to all Xbox 360 owners. While it does not allow access to online play, it still has access to other Xbox Live features such as the friends list, messages, and the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Customer Review: Great Idea, Poor Management
The review by “Mr. S. A. Brown “yentilsale1″ sums it up for me as I have just had the same problems. Why cant Microsoft do the decent thing and make a simple way of cancelling your membership via the console. You start your subscription this way, so why cant you cancel it this way!? Apparently, its for security and information reasons!! What a load of rubbish!! Blizzard are able to do all of this with World of Warcraft on the internet through your own personal account. Microsoft, sort your public image out, its all an excuse to take money from people who forget to cancel their memberships. Shame on you!
Customer Review: Useless
Xbox Live is definitely worth ?40 a year; providing you don’t get unlucky like me and go to pull the card out of the box only for the sticky substance holding it in place to rip half the chuffing code off rendering the whole thing completely useless. Ring Microsoft support up to try and get some help deciphering it and they they tell me to ring Microsoft in person? But they don’t know the number so how am I supposed to do that? Email them? Fat lot of good that did. Gave them the part no. etc and they tell me it isn’t valid or something of that nature. Great. Cheers. Thanks a lot Microsoft. And amazon. For selling dodgey rubbish. Geez… ?40 I could have spent on Mass Effect…

Customer Review: Good buy
the xbox 360 controler is a good one because it wireless and it has a range of 30ft and 30hrs. … well thats all i got.
Customer Review: X Box 360 controller
My example of this controller broke after 13 months because the headset connection appears to very flimsy and the central pin in the controller broke. This breakage rendered both the controller and the headset useless. I had to buy another controller (wired this time) and a new headset. I beleive that Microsoft should carry put a design review.

Xbox 360 Halo 3 Limited Edition Console Customer Review: Oozes Cool….
So it’s only ?20 quid cheaper than the Elite console, who care’s, it’s a thing of beauty, all green and Master Chief ‘ish, go on, treat your self, buy it….
Customer Review: Quick and Easy
Straight out of the box and playing within minutes. The only reason I got an Xbox was to play Halo 3 with pals and online. I paid the extra ?20 quid or so for the halo edition becuase it stands out and is different and is a newer version and less likly to over heat or have problems. (not sure if this is correct but what I have heard).

You are only getting half of the game if you do not use Xbox Live!

Enjoy! I know I am……
