Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« To the point: pain has rarely been so pleasureable. Rumble on, spandex warriors. [Dec. 2006, p.74] »
« It's an absolute monster, with tons of power while simultaneously possessing impressive agility. »
« Graphically it looks wonderful and plays just as well, but next year Yukes really needs to scrap a lot of the built-in aspects and redesign from the ground up, such as the CAW and Season modes. »
« I implore you to give this a go if you’re a wrestling fan, and even if you aren’t – it might well be worth a play. I like the improvements that have been made, and I’ll be playing this long into 2007. »
« At present, this is the closest you will come to knowing what it is like to step inside a WWE ring. Here’s hoping THQ and the WWE will move past their business disagreements and continue producing superb wrestling games. »
« The sheer depth of the game, various modes, and customization available are second to none, combined with an improved control schema and interactive environments, you’ll be playing this one for a very long time. »
« The new control scheme makes SvR 2007 much less of a button-masher as much of the grappling is now mapped to the right analog stick, although sometimes a combo button is needed for certain grapple follow-ups. »
« The core of this game is far too good to not enjoy. For fans of wrestling or fighting games in general, this annual series has become a required purchase. »

« This one is the most addicting gameplay in SVR series as a whole. With its own good story mode. »
« Smackdown vs Raw 2007 was an Instant Classic Game on the Xbox 360 Because in this game, you have a Great season mode where you have a CAW become an wwe superstar and the CAW Goal was Winning The WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 22 and finishing the Season Mode 100% Complete. Also, you had Create an Championship, GM Mode, Exhibition Mode, Create an PPV. I feel like this a Great Smackdown vs Raw Game on the Xbox 360. »
« A brand new Analog Control System makes fighting more realistic than ever with intuitive movement and new elements of control. An enhanced Season Mode provides multiple branching storylines and unprecedented levels of player choice. In and out of the ring, dozens of user-controlled environmental hotspots let players take advantage of anything at their disposal to inflict damage on opponents in new and unique ways. Additionally, new high impact combination moves let players take the power of WWE Superstars into their own hands. Experience the intensity of WWE fans in a brand new, fully loaded interactive fighting area. Players can take advantage of multiple weapons, environmental damage and grabbing signs and weapons from the crowd. WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 offers multiple enhancements, including incredible high definition graphics, updated rosters for both RAW and SmackDown, an expanded General Manager Mode, online multiplayer game play with voice chat support and more. »
« This is another title I picked up on a nostalgic vibe and, just like me, the game is riding on the coattails of it's second instalment that appeared on the PlayStation. In reality this franchise failed to evolve in any way. I used to see wrestling games as the ultimate beat 'em ups during the PlayStation era but during the last two generations I believe the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise has evolved just enough to take that away from wrestling games. Overall a game that needed to be enjoyed on release by wrestling fans, otherwise a sack of **** entry in a dead gaming franchise. »
« While it's a shame that some characters are teased but not actually in the game the roster is great and the in ring action is fantastic. The create a character is fun and the story mode is different for each show. The customization of the locker room is a waste of cash you could spend on unlocking characters. »
