SvR 2007 is the best game in the series to date. It still has the same fighting style from previous games that we have come to love. The sound and graphics in this game are awesome. The superstar roster is up to date (for the most part) Eugene, Highlanders, Spirit squad, Cryme tyme, MvP, to name a few arn't in the game. This would be my biggest dissapointment with the game but other then that everything is great. Season mode is better then it ever has been giving you more freedom while progressing through the season then previous games. Create a superstar is better then ever going into more depth. Locker room is now bigger and can be customized even more then SvR 2006. You can fight in the crowd in SvR 2007 and grab signs and weapons from the crowd, also new this year enviromental grapples you can smack your opponets head off the stairs and choke them with the camera cord. The backstage is huge. New Unlockable legends such as Bam Bam Bigelow, Mr Perfect, Dusty Rhodes, Cactus Jack, Dude Love, Shane Mcmahon as well as some from previous games Steve Austin, The Rock, etc.. Challenge mode is back from SvR 2006 Trophies and belts to unlock. I think i covered the bulk of the game.
- just a note for anyone not sure: Dx is in the game, you just need to put Triple H and Shawn Micheals in a tag match to get them to come out to Dx Entrance so thats a plus no Dx woulda been weak. My favorite part of the game is Mr Kennedy's Entrance lol it's the best, i watch the whole thing every time.
This is the best wrestling game out to date, if your looking for a fun game with endless replay value get this game. Something i didn't mention was online mode, i havn't personally played online yet but i did in SvR 2006 and it was a lot of fun to create your own character and go on and play with thousands of other WWE fans.
 A love-and-hate review. February 22, 2007

I really love this game, as well as nearly every THQ wrestling game since WCW VS NWO: World Tour. Still, there are to many details that lack polish, to many bugs and glitches to give it a perfect rating. It's without a doubt the game that crashes the most in my 360 since I bought it, and I've played a lot. It also has a bug that makes my 360 crash every time my created superstar is going to contend for a custom title belt, right after the belt is removed from the HDD (it most be temporarily removed before a title match and re-saved after the match) making me lost the belt and all the money invested in it. It's not that much of a big deal but it's only one of the details that scream the game was rushed.
Another one is the intros, both of them (Raw and Smackdown) are displayed in low-res and full screen only, which is annoying because I bought a widescreen 720p LCD HDTV to play my XBOX 360 games and to have a cheap intro in an HD "next-gen" game makes no sense. Also, the roster feels outdated. The superstar with the highest overall in the roster is Kurt Angle, who's currently at TNA, and superstars like Jeff Hardy and CM Punk are nowhere to be found. There's no hope of updating the roster through downloadable content, since the game does not support it.
Another huge letdown is the commentary, which is completely carryover from the 2006 edition. This completely sucks if you played the previous version, and also the fact that Smackdown currently has Bradshaw instead of Tazz doesn't help the game feel less outdated. The game does look great and the sweat effect rules. The divas look hotter than ever and the story mode is way better that 2006's. There's a lot of fun in this game including earning the Money In The Bank trophy (I got it on my second try, my brothers are still trying). THQ should consider adding content download support for the next installment, as well as updates to fix the bugs in 2007. If they do this, maybe they can exceed the glory achieved by WWF: No Mercy in its time.
One of the best wrestling games despite minor complaints November 18, 2006

This is a really fun wrestling game even if the X-Box 360 controlling takes awhile to get used to. I'm used to the Playstation 2 controlling. Plus I still find Here Comes the Pain the one that's easy to want to go back and play again and again. I mean the season mode is the funnest since you can add legends or created wrestlers to the season mode roster. Then you can play any other match on a card besides the matches for the wrestler you chose.
I don't think season mode is that fun without that feature. I mean otherwise you just play season mode to unlock the legends and never go back once you got them. While in Here Comes the Pain I kept going back to play season mode even if I did unlock every legend. This game is fun enough to make you go back for more and more even if it's not for season mode. The GM mode is cool where now you can hire writers and pick the one who's best at writing things like David vs Goliath stories and much more. You then pick the two wrestlers that a best to fit in that feud. I also like seeing Title Mode back. Where you can defend or win a title any time you want.
Plus I love that you can rip-up signs from the audience "though I haven't learned how to do that yet. You can also fight in the audience this time around which especially adds more to hardcore matches or Last Man Standing matches. The game also has a good roster even if some are pretty bad choices to have in the game. I mean I always forget guys like Vito, Viscera, Snitsky and Paul Burcham are even in the game. Plus do we really need 4 different Mick Foley's ? I mean you'd think they would've learned by now. All they had to do was have one Mick Foley and just give you the option to change his costume before a match to either Cactus Jack, Dude Love or Mankind. It wastes 3 spaces when they could've added other Legends instead.
Instead of Viscera you could've had someone like Sabu instead, instead of Snitsky how about the Sandman, instead of Paul Burcham "how ever you spell it" how about Paul London, Brian Kendrick should've been on it as well. It also feels weird not seeing the Spirit Squard after they've been thrown in our faces constantly on Raw. I also wish Jeff Hardy was on this game. Plus instead of 3 Mick Foley's we could've had Rick Rude, Randy Savage and Owen Hart.
Some fans complain about Bam Bam Bigelow and Taz being Legends but I like that. I was a fan of Bigelow in his ECW days.All the WWE did with him was have him lose to a football player at a WrestleMania. While in ECW the guy was almost as unstoppable as Taz. The WWE wasted Taz and of course you wouldn't think of him as a Legend after seeing his WWE Jobber years. However in ECW the guy was an unstoppable animal that is truly worthy of being called a Legend. He was the Stone Cold Steve Austin of ECW. I also like seeing Shane a Legend but if he's one on the game then why isn't Vince ? It feels weird being able to play as Shane but not Vince. Despite minor complaints this is still a really good wrestling game. It is of course still light years better than the first Smackdown vs Raw which I never played as much as Here Comes the Pain.
Complete list of Legends I'd like to see in the next game: Hogan, Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero,Owen Hart, Anvil, King Kong Bundy, Earthquake, The Big Bossman, Brian Pillman, The Demolition Axe and Smash, L.O.D Hawk and Animal, Vince, Shane, Razor Ramon, Diesel, Arn Anderson, The Rock, Steve Austin, Mr. Perfect, Vader, if you unlock Mick Foley you get all his personalities in one without him taking up 4 spaces, Chris Jericho, Yokozuna, Rick Rude, Randy Savage, JBL, Jerry Lawyler,Trish Stratus, Lita and the Ultimate Warrior.
The next game should also have a complete list of ECW wrestlers such as RVD, Sabu, The Big Show, Tommy Dreamer, Kevin Thorn, Test, C.M Punk "who I wish was in this one!", Mike Knox and Hardcore Holly.
I also wouldn't mind that if you play as a certain popular wrestler in season mode that you can unlock legend type matches as well. Like if you play as the Undertaker you unlock a body bag match that he used to have back in the early 90's. Or that when you unlock Stone Cold you unlock 3 Stages of Hell. Plus would be cool if Psycho Sid was on it and if you unlock him you also unlock the Lumberjack match since he had one with HBK once. Also the games should also bring back I Quit matches.

I'll start off by saying the game itself is really good. If you have any interest in the WWE, you'll be hooked as soon as you pop it in. Graphics are greatly improved (even over the already good looking 2006 game), the new fighting style is fun, and the career mode is greatly improved from the previous installment. I'm the person who needs to create my own wrestler and drag him through the storyline and make him the main guy on the show, so if you're like me, you'll LOVE the create a wrestler and create an entrance features.
With the good does come the bad though. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I feel as if the title was rushed onto the shelves and the game as a whole is an unfinished project. The roster is lacking pretty badly (you won't find King Booker, instead the 6 month old version Booker T.... who has King Bookers titantron movie during his entrance.. huh?), the game seems buggy at times. I noticed my created wrestler would occasionally lose his custom move list and revert back to the default list... which I'm still not sure why it happens sometimes. There are some other frustrating things, for instance if you don't use a real WWE wrestlers entrance moves (and instead go with Superstar 1 for example) your wrestler won't wear a belt when he comes out. Also, there's no static belt location for created entrances, so if you mix up the moves your wrestler could be coming down with the belt around his waist, then over his shoulder, then carrying it in his hand, and then it not being visible at all.
While overall, the game is great and would certainly be appreciated by WWE fans and fans of wrestling games in the past, it's far from perfect. I would reccomend it for now, and I hope the future installments will correct the small errors. I'm still waiting for the flawless, megahit, WWE title to eventually hit the shelves. With 2006 and 2007, it appears they aren't far off.
Best there is, so far except.... January 19, 2007

This game is the best there is so far in the series, except three things.
1. Cancelled PS3 Version
2. The 360 Version, unlike the game Raw, cant use harddrive music as custom music, real let down.
3. Lack of some superstars like Eugene and Spirit Squad.
Other then that, gameplay rocks, story mode isnt bad, Caws like 2006 version. If you like the WWE, youll love this game.
