WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007

"WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2007 on the PSP? Like its console version?"

When I first picked up Smackdown vs RAW 2007 for my PSP on its release date I was so exited to get it home to my PSP and start playing it.

Load Times: 9/10

The reason this gets a 9/10 is because the load times are alot better then last years game. Last year if you wanted a match with four caws it would take up to 5 minutes to load for that one match.This year on the other hand has very good load times considering its on a portable gaming system.

Gameplay : 9/10

The gameplay in this years game has some differences but not to many from last years game. One of them being Ultimate control moves. These moves include: Suplex,DDT,Oklahoma Slam etc. With Ultimate control moves you may control your oponent while moving. With certain ones like the Powerbomb you may carry them to the edge of the ring and throw them out. Overall the gameplay has improved alot.

Audio: 8/10

The Audio in this game is henomenal with such songs as "Riot" and "Animal I have Become" the soundtrack has improved since last year. The song "The Champ" is one of the most annoying things iv'e ever heard. The entrance music is exactly like its console counterpart and the Voice over's are still in the game. The reason this didn't get a 9 or a 10 was because sometimes the audio cuts out or gets a little choppy.

Controls : 7/10

The controls could be better and a little more responsive. It seems alot of times when I go pick up my opponent with O I pin them. It gets realy annoying after a while.

CAW : 5/10

The reason I give this such a low score is the layers. This year you may only have 16 layers for your CAW's limiting the possibility's you could make. Jeff Hardy is almost impossible to make with just 16 layers. The CAW's second biggest downfall I find is that when you go to modify a variable in the settings (eg: Neck length It takes about 3 seconds to move the little bar.
