The WWE knocks the snot out of the world with an all-new multi-platform wrestling smackfest. New additions this year include a brand new analog control grappling system, new high-impact movesets, user-controlled environmental hotspots and an interactive fighting area within the crowd. In addition, the game includes updated rosters for Raw and SmackDown, an expanded General Manager Mode and online multiplayer game play with voice chat support.

THQ says it will bring a more realistic fighting experience with a new analog control grappling system, enabling the player to throw their opponent anywhere they want!

The graphics have been improved, The moves have been improved also!

SD! vs Raw will have no new match types but there will be improvments in the existing match types.

The Season mode will be similar to the one featured in WWE SD! Here Comes The Pain, featuring champion, challenger and generic storyline paths and more choices for the player.
The Season mode will feature about 36 specific storylines.

Season mode will have several new features, such as the inclusion of a replica WWE.com, where the player can purchase costumes, belts and legends, as well as read wrestler biographies and articles on developments in the season mode. Also included is WWE Magazine, where one can read about the current storyline, and the ability for wrestlers to switch brands throughout the season.

I'm disappointed with this years Legends

First of all, Shane McMahon is no "LEGEND".
Three diffrent Mick Foley?
Can't THQ put 3 diffrent costumes instead of 3 wrestlers?
Last year THQ said that every Hogan has his own story in the Season mode... but after the game was released we found out that you can't play with Hollyood Hogan and 80s Hogan in Season mode...
What happened to The Million Dollar Man?!

anyway at least we have the Hart Foundation and some other good legends like The Rock and Steve Austin...

I have completely lost interest in pro wrestling. I have SD v. Raw 2006 but otherwise I can't say the last time I watched wrestling. It's horrible. The WWE and TNA should merge to try and salvage the sport from its shithole, imho.

I watch Raw only...
SmackDown SUCKS...

Pro-wrestling has definitely plunged in quality over the past 5 years or so (the last great era being the Attitude era)...but the SmackDown! games have always been great fun. Get a few friends over...and you'll find yourself playing into the wee hours of the morning.

SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006 was a good game...but THQ failed to deliver on many of their promises (no character specific storylines especially).

They did, however, put a few things in their I really like...such as the inclusion of Title matches in Exhibition mode (a feature not seen since WWF Smackdown 2 for the PSone).

SD vs. RAW '07 looks great from what I've seen and read. The analog controlled move sets sound intriguing...and being able to fight out in the crowd is a plus.

I stopped following wrestling about a year ago but I'm slowly getting back into it. I may get this game out. Good to see its got the Stone Cold and The Rock in legends. It would be weird playing a wrestling game without The Rock.

Can you smell what The Rock is Cooking?

Sweet, Mr. Perfect, Piper and The American Dream. ANd this game should be great, being able to go into the stands ansd take weapons from them is a great addition. And the GM mode is always good, but it will be weird to have Kurt in the game.

Kurt Angele is in the game...
This is what's wrong with THQ every year they say "updated rosters" but then you find some of the wrestlers themes or music is old...
