Hate to sound like a broken record, but. . . .

IGN.com has their official WWE RAW vs. Smackdown review up, and they swear by the fact that it's this gen's NO MERCY.

Gamespot.com has also said this game is the modern NO MERCY.

Human Entertainment, The japanese development studio for FirePro Wrestling 3 lists the new Smackdown vs RAW as one of the all-time best wrestling games.

Could Yukes and tHQ have finally gotten it right?

I was a big fan of the Gamecube's DOR@, but the more I played the season mode, the less impressed I was. The game left me wanting something more.

If you read the reivew at IGN.com and the latest article at Gamespot.com, you get a real sense of excitment and anticipation. I hate to do that because I'm usually left disappointed, but I truly think this will be a different experience.

Awesome. I may actually get this one. After SvR I promised never to waste the money again. I'll wait for SVR '06 on eBay and then pick it up.

Man... I dunno. It's times like this that really make me wish I had the spare cash for GameFly or some other rental service. I really don't want to put up with another good-but-frustrating wrestling game.

Just wait for the player reviews Chris. That should give you a pretty good idea.
