The latest WWE games don't have any peers to compare themselves to, but that does not mean they suffer from the pitfalls of competition. WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010's main competition comes from over ten years ago, and it is no secret why it does.

WWF No Mercy is the pinnacle of the wrestling games frenzy of the 1990s and still finds itself in a relevant position today thanks to various mods from a small but rabid fanbase.

Ten years since it's release, how does No Mercy get so much love? The answer is that No Mercy encompassed all of what the (then) WWF had to offer. Matches were exciting, the creation modes were stellar, and it featured a full fledged WWF season and featured any wrestler on the game's roster.

Day of Reckoning for the Gamecube is the best wrestling game I ever played. Great graphics even for the game cube, no hd needed. Easy to perform moves and that includes finishers. The reversal and submittal systems were also nice.

I would like to see Online Leagues or Federations where you could get a set number of friends preferably atleast 32 and run your own Federation fully equipped with championships, weekly events, and pay-per views that are fully customizable, but I am probably asking too much that's why I stick with Day of Reckoning.

Three words: online wrestling leagues, for use with or without create-a-storyline feature.

That, and do a massive code rewrite of the computer opponent AI. Scrap whatever exists there and start over.

"The WWE Story Designer is a great idea that will only improve with future releases. "

Somebody hasn't really been playing the THQ series.

It's a great idea that, in the future, will see about 5 new additions every year in exchange for 20 minor-yet-crucial sacrifices, just like every other create-a-____ feature they've implemented, if you're looking for accuracy.

"There is a reason you can find SvR 2010 for $40 only a few weeks after it was released."

I'd like to know where you found that cause I'm trying to get that for Christmas and my limit is 40 bucks.

Try target, etc. I've seen those games on "clearance" or on special sale for $39.

$45 but close enough.

I hope the AAA game is good. I doubt there'll be another Rumble Roses and Fire Pro doesn't seem like it's moving to the next gen and obviously Wrestle Kingdom will never make its way here as it hasn't yet.
