Still it only cost me £20 and Smackdown vs RAW is £30 so I'm still up a tenner! Quite proud of it actually I've only ever submitted that so at the minute I've got a 100% record.
A lot of switches lately what with the draft lottery and the Christ/Stacy for Torrie/Candice trade and Matt Hardy going to Smackdown.
EDIT: Just noticed Hardy isnt even on the roster :(

Its a shame how the roster is already outdated before its even released (Nov 11)
Anyway, SD V Raw - The game. It was decent enough, not particularly groundbreaking. If anything, I think they sacrificed gameplay for graphics. They took a few options out and I thought it was a step backwards.
I still don't think they've got the story mode quite right. Sure, there is only so much you can do with current technology but the story mode isn't as open ended then I'd hope. You are either in a title feud or you are not and when you have a title or you don't, you have an all too familiar storyline set that just repeats and repeats.
Maybe they've pushed it as far as it can go on the PS2. Maybe the next gen consoles can bring some life to it but with the WWE's current roster, it will probably still feel a bit lifeless.
The series needs a bit of work.
