WWE RIVALS

To liven up the exhibition matches, you can control each wrestler's enemies and allies, as well as the intensity of those relationships. You have five slots to fill on each side: the top rival and ally being the most likely to run in and the bottom pro being most likely to sit on the bench. Like the cutscenes, these relationships are restricted by gender. And of course, some run-ins are a little more special than the others. For instance, Triple H enters with his sledgehammer in tow, while John Cena simply runs down the ramp. Durr admitted that some of the out-of-the-ring encounters are a tad buggy, but the rest of the rival system works smoothly.

...AND MORE

On top of new features and improved graphics, SvR 2010 also contains a revamped Royal Rumble, an integrated hud, apron moves, smooth grapple to grapple transitions, and a fully motion-captured song and dance by R-Truth. Even the Wii version has maintained most of the next-gen features including Create-A-Finisher, Story Design, and 79 match types (30 more than previously seen). Ten years after the series' debut, the team went all out to make this title truly capture the brutality and hilarity of the WWE. Let's just hope the downloadable user content doesn't get too scary.
