Well I made the leap of faith and allowed some green to escape my wallet and brought WWE: SvR 06.
Okay I will admit that I normally do not play wrestling games. To tell you the truth the last wrestling game I played was on the Sega Genesis. So when I saw Smackdown: HCTP; I was like okay maybe I should re-enter this gaming arena and give myself some variety on my PS2.
While looking and debating about SD: HCTP. I noticed WWE: SvR. To me this was a much better choice. I got the most current game and I would have wrestlers from both brands to choose to play. So I brought WWE: SvR.
I must say it was a good decision on my part. The game's only downfall to myself was the short season mode and the fact that there is not much variety to it. Basically after playing through about 4 times you will exhaust all the other possibilities. Usually after the second season or your second play through you will have won a belt. It is possible to win a belt in your first play through but if you want some variety wait until the second season play through.
I did debate for quite a while if I should go for WWE: SvR 06 or Star Wars Battlefront II first. I am still very much hooked on SW BF I so I decided to go ahead and get WWE: SvR 06.
I just started playing it so it will be a while before I voice my opinion on the game. But from what I seen so far it is upgraded quite a bit from WWE: SvR.
