WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW
GAME » on November 2, 2004
The first game to use the "SmackDown! vs. Raw" name brings features to the table that are now an industry standard.


Overview

WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw is the sixth game in the WWE SmackDown! (Franchise)! series of games and the first to use the "vs. Raw" suffix. Later games would adopt this suffix as well as a year (SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006), similar to most traditional sports games. The "vs. Raw" suffix was used up until SmackDown vs. Raw 2011, and now the games are named "WWE" with the year.


New Features

SmackDown! vs. Raw improves over previous games in a few areas. The first is with its graphics. SvR features an increased polygon count over previous Smackdown games. Voiceovers from many WWE (Franchise) Superstars were also added into the Season mode. Mini-games were added for the first time for both pre-match and in-game situations. The Clean/Dirty that would be expanded on in later games was first instituted in SvR. A reformatted PPV mode and a Create-A-Championship mode were also added.


Roster

As with every WWE SmackDown! game, Smackdown! vs. Raw features an updated roster, including wresters from Raw, SmackDown!, and a separate roster of Legends.


Raw Superstars

SmackDown! Superstars

Legends

Trivia

Hidden on the disk are unused announce files, which indicate that the roster was once planned to include Goldberg, Ultimó Dragon, Brock Lesnar, Steve Austin, and several others.
