The WWE Smackdown vs Raw series from the 2000’s were among the best pro wrestling that the world has seen within the past 20 years. Everyone has their own respective opinion on which Smackdown vs Raw game from the 2000’s was the best but there is no question that SvR 2010 had to be one of the better installments within its own series. WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 was developed by Yuke’s and published by THQ and it was a game that was widely regarded as a step forward in comparison to what they gave us with SvR 2009. While the main appeal for SvR 2009 was tag-team gameplay and the addition of the inferno match SvR 2010 gave players a variety of online & offline content to keep them busy. Smackdown vs Raw 2010 featured tons of different match types including Money In The Bank, Inferno, Ladder, TLC, Championship Scrabble along with Six-Man Tag; while having a fresh Road to WrestleMania mode which featured some of the top stars within WWE during the late 2000’s.

The Story Designer mode was quite possibly one of the features that one would ever see in a pro-wrestling game because it gave players the freedom to create their own shows and scripts and storylines for whatever characters they wanted. The soundtrack for SvR 2010 was solid and the graphics were great for its time but the lightening was not nearly as good as its successor Smackdown vs Raw 2011. The gender restrictions in inter-gender tag-matches where men and women could no longer fight each was seen as somewhat of a negative by fans due to its restrictive nature. Also, SvR 2010 hardly had any type of DLC outside of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin but since it had an extensive roster of at least 65 characters. Smackdown vs Raw 2010 was fun pro-wrestling game but by no means was it on the same level as titles like Smackdown: HCTP or SvR 2006. Smackdown vs Raw 2010 might not be within everyone’s top five in terms of best pro wrestling games but it was better than a majority of 2K titles that came out in 2010’s.
