this game has a logic problem: Big Show weighs more than Khali, but Khali is Ultra Heavy-weight and Big Show "only" a Super Heavy-weight.

[@dreamynachos3439]

Yeah I've noticed that.

[@NikateeN]

So strange...

[@genocide_cutter98]

Also Vito is considered a crusiserweight even though he was 260+ pounds back in the day.

[@reggieholder576]

and it was insane how undertaker somehow beat the ''unbeatable''giant Gonzalez in real life?that really didn't make any sense.

[@TheSpiderTre]

another one would be Super Crazy and Joey Mercury. Mercury is listed as a heavyweight and Super Crazy a cruiserweight even though Super Crazy they're about the same weight

[@danamaniac66]

When I think of this game 1 thing always comes to mind, the Great Khali being completely OP with the weight class system. For some reason he is put as an ultra heavyweight, even though Big Show was put as a super heavyweight, meaning only like 4 wrestlers could even do any moves to him and all being slower characters. They had a bunch of mini tournaments at WrestleMania access events leading up to WrestleMania 23 and I remember the officials running those events mentioning that Khali was winning most of the tournaments

Dr. Daniel 316 Agreed the roster was lacking, they took away any real season mode, the gameplay got repetitive after about an hour of playing. SvR 2008 was a huge step down for the games. Then again 2007 was a huge step down year for WWE so.

[@aceplays1081]

I always switched the control style to the "B" setting where u use the buttons and d pad for control instead of analog stick. A great game, it's also very nostalgic, and has a loaded soundtrack. Only issue is a few omissions. Spirit squad, Jamie noble, and Paul London and Kendrick would've made the game even better.

[@jarrettallen6758]

I want to add to this, the A.I. in this game was beyond smarter than any A.I. wwe game has presented before, for example, I played a elimination tag match, and my partner was counted out so I was down to me vs the a.i. tag team, and I remember one of the a.im grabbing a chair and splitting me open with it (which I let him) and I laughed bc he got dq'd but then his partner walks in and pins me and gets the W! May I also add I remember this game being hard to win matches, it was no cake walk and you had to deeply strategize to win, the weaker opponent was out by one finisher which was still a bitch to get but when you faced a super star it was absolute hell, best and last game wwe got right

The only thing what I always hated about the SvR series is how small both the WWE and World titles are...it's not that hard to get them the correct size.

[@RiasatSalminSami]

SVR 2007: -Had responsive gameplay as Here Comes the Pain. -More advanced gameplay mechanics [like interactive environments]. -Wrestler face models were better than newer games. -Impressive graphics. Also the last great WWE game. Every other WWE game after SVR 2007 are sluggish [Which also got worse with the introduction of Next gen WWE games aka 2k15+] and lacks features. Gameplay, animations and physics actually got worse and looks unrealistic at times [Especially WWE 2k15+].

@Simon Chase yeah I got Day of Reckoning and the later SVRS like 10 and 11. I hated SVR 08 and 09. I always ended up back to n64 and GCN. I played SVR05 that was similar to Day of Reckoning. And yeah already got PS1 Smackdown games

[@TPRES_74]

This game was hyped with PS3 commercials that looked nothing like the actual game but was canceled.

[@mashar1]

Why was the ps3 version cancelled?

[@TPRES_74]

Only thing I could find was developers wanted to concentrate their resources on other game systems. Whatever they meant by that. I know the PS3 was new at that time you'd think Yukes /Thq would push to try to make a good game to show off in a new system but they've been lazy for years wasn't surprised when THQ went bankrupt.

[@CRAZY42448]

+Blackatic as long as i know they didnt made a ps3 port becuse they didnt want to develope for a 500$ console thet didnt sell well

[@adrenaliner91]

It was impossible to deliver something in time. The PS3 was very hard to develop for, this is why most multiplatform games started with a 360 version and got port over if possible or stayed exclusive.
