 What's up everyone, it's Aitton here, welcome back to another video. Today I'm really excited because I'm going to be talking about my favorite WWE video games. As you guys know, I'm a huge fan of the WWE but also I am a collector of the WWE video games and in the past 15 plus years, I have not missed a WWE game that has been released. So I'm really excited to get into today's video. Let's just get started here. Up first is Smackdown vs. Raw 2006. Now this game here is not the first WWE game that I've played. The first one that actually got me into the series and into the WWE games was Smackdown vs. Raw 2007. I love that game so much that I decided to purchase 2006 and a few of the previous ones and some of the ones that I'm missing, I am still currently on the hunt for them. Now this game here is Smackdown vs. Raw 2006. The reason I loved it so much was because it was the first year of GM mode which was one of my favorite modes to play in the WWE. I spent hours playing it on Smackdown vs. Raw 2006, 2007 and 2008 and honestly had a blast. It was awesome and I always chose Smackdown because of the Cruiserweight championship. Now I never was a fan of the women's division. The only reason is because on GM mode, you got more ratings with the men. So I always chose Smackdown so I always had another men's championship. I always had the Cruiserweight championship and also the career mode back then was a lot of fun. You got to choose your wrestler or create one. It was up to you but if you chose a wrestler, for example, John Cena, you went through the career of John Cena and you got to go for challenges. You got to challenge people for their championships. You got to do rivalries. You got to do a lot of great cut scenes and it was a lot of work to produce that but as a fan we absolutely loved that. It's way better than the career mode nowadays because nowadays let's face it you're only doing creative wrestlers so that right there is a downfall for me but on top of that it is just lacking the charisma and the dedication as you did back in the day because sometimes in the current games you have to win to advance even further in your career whereas in the previous days for Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 and around that era if you were in career mode and you lost your match you'd move on. You wouldn't go continue on with winning the championship or that might just be a downfall and a rivalry but you'd continue on your career. You wouldn't have to redo that specific match and get that win in a certain way so that's why I love these games as opposed to the current WWE games. Next up is WWE 2K16. This game right here is one of my favorites WWE 2K games because it is the one that had Stone Cold Steve Austin not only on the cover but he was the guy that was part of showcase and in my opinion that was the best showcase mode because it really got to show the attitude era and the aggression era which the aggression era in WWE is one of my favorite eras and I absolutely loved everything that that story brought. On top of that as a collector I also received in the case for the game the Stone Cold collector card which was awesome. Now as a collector just getting something more rather than just the game is awesome and this game did include that so the story was amazing and I absolutely loved that they gave that little Stone Cold Steve Austin trading card because that to me was awesome. Next up is obviously SmackDown vs Raw 2007. This one here I absolutely loved because the mechanics were a little bit better. You had to do a lot more. Career mode was a lot more advanced they added a lot more elements into the story modes and characters and different things like that and cut scenes which was awesome. You also had a continuation of the GM mode which this game here I thought was a little lacking as far as superstars for example the cruiserweight vision in the previous game you had guys like Tajeri, Hurricane, other ones this one here you had a lot less than you did in the previous game and a lot less greater ones. I think the best cruiserweight was Rey Mysterio obviously but it was just lacking there but still this game here I spent a lot of hours the mechanics was a lot better than 2006 was and this one here I absolutely had a blast playing. Next up is SmackDown shut your mouth this game here was the first game that I've played that you could actually roam around backstage before your matches so you got to go and tour basically the backstage the outside area the broiler room the parking lots and everything like that you got to interact with wrestlers backstage and there's a whole lot you can do now for career mode you could also at the beginning draft the rosters even though you're not in control of the roster and it's not like a GM mode by any means you got to draft what wrestlers are on which brand so you can have a bunch of the top wrestlers that you want to interact with on one brand and all of the lower end and not great wrestlers on a completely separate brand if you wish I always played as the rock for some reason which always had his track pants and his shirt on not really the best attire for the rock but that's who I usually always played as and I absolutely had a blast on top of that the I quit match for this game was amazing you got to basically pick the destination of where you were either as backstage the fire across the streets somewhere else you got to pick the destination and you could go through and just move location to location playing the I quit match which is something that I wish the current games would include again is the I quit match the inferno matches and other matches like that's even special referee matches I wish the current games did include those as well but Smackdown shut your mouth was definitely one of my favorite games after purchasing 2007 I did go and purchase this game here and I played it a ton love the career mode and loved a bunch of the other game modes in it as well next up is going to be Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 this was the last year that there was a GM mode in the game until 2022 came out now this game here the GM mode was by far the best the most advanced the gameplay itself the mechanics were more advanced the wrestlers in the game had a lot more detail to them now comparing if you had the ps2 version versus the ps3 version the ps3 version the graphics were 10 times better than the ps2 version and I believe this is the first game that had the ps3 version don't quote me on that but I believe it is now this game here it was incredible I played it on the PlayStation 2 though and I just had a fun playing the game drafting my roster and just going through and having a blast it was the first year that had ECW in it so on GM mode ECW was its own separate brands now I never chose ECW for GM mode and ran ECW again I always chose Smackdown because Smackdown had world championship uh intercontinental sorry United States championship it had the cruiserweight championship and a tag team championship whereas ECW only had the ECW world tag team championship so I wanted more championships to kind of drive ratings and that's what I always did but I did always for Smackdown choose a bunch of the ECW wrestlers and this game here was by far one of my favorite WWE games of all time it was just a blast and I still play it to this day because it is so iconic to me and a huge part of my childhood now there is one game left that I am going to be talking about in this video and that is currently other than Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 currently my favorite WWE game and that is WWE 2K22 yes the last WWE game that just came out after a year break from not putting out a game because WWE 2K20 wasn't the greatest it was great for me but a lot of people experienced a lot of glitches and everything and it honestly wasn't the greatest so this game here finally had a lot going for it up first you have the Rey Mysterio kind of look at his career which was awesome and got to play all of those matches which was insane you have a lot of legends in this game the only downfall is when it was released there's a lot of wrestlers that are no longer part of WWE in this game if I had to count it'd be 20 to 30 wrestlers that are in this game that are no longer part of the WWE so that's a little frustrating but it is an insanely great game they upgraded the mechanics they upgraded the graphics the graphics are insane on the PlayStation 4 you also have the return of the general manager mode now the return it's not the greatest you can only have I think three matches and two promos you can't trade you can't sign to lengthy contracts whenever you sign somebody it is for the whole year or the whole term that you were playing the GM mode so it's not the greatest GM mode but it is a lot of fun and it does have a lot of promise for future games because let's face it in WWE 2K15 whenever they released the career mode for the first time once again we did see that the career mode was just not the greatest it was kind of on the terrible side this game here even though GM mode is not the greatest it does have a lot of promise and hopefully in the future will be a lot better so hope you guys enjoyed this video comment down below your favorite WWE video game and I'll see you guys in the next video please take care peace
