General Comments

I have just played WWE Smackdown for the PlayStation 2 Vs. Raw 2006, and it's awesome! I can also reveal the list of WWE Legends in Smackdown Vs. Raw 2006, and I can tell you now you should be very excited!

First off, this game is excellent! It's pretty similar to the previous edition in terms of gameplay, but there a few new features in terms of strategy. There is more timing involved as to when you go for the kill, as the superstars momentum tends to come and go during the match. I also love that there are now 3 levels of blood, so you can really leave your opponent with a crimson mask once you've busted the S.O.B wide open!

There haven't been many changes to the match types - the good ones like Hell In a Cell, Elimination Chamber, TLC and the Steel Cage are all still there. There is the added bonus of the Buried Alive contest, which is also good fun.

Anyway onto the Legends roster - all the big names are here, and the legends are better than last year, but sadly there is no Legion Of Doom. Here's the list:

Hulk Hogan (also available as 80's Hogan and Hollywood Hogan)
Bret Hart
British Bulldog
Stone Cold Steve Austin - Oh Yeah!!!
Mankind
The Rock
Jake The Snake
Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart
Junkyard Dog
The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase
Andre The Giant

Overall I was happy with this, but felt a bit angry as we were promised 13 legends, yet we get Hogan 3 times, so in reality it's only 11. Also, why bother with Junkyard Dog and The Mouth Of The South?? I have no idea!!

Still, the others are cool, but I would have loved to have seen Owen Hart, The Anvil, Ultimate Warrior, the NWO, Macho Man, and a few others in there.

Rant over and back to the game - it rocks and you must buy it, trust me you never get tired of dishing out the Stunners!!!

Total Respect: +1
