Smack Down vs Raw 2010

Does anyone have it?

Each time I got games from the series, I feel dirty and in a way like I've been conned... mainly because I'm not interested in the male wrestlers and they don't put much in it for the divas... So wanted to find out if theres someone I can get first hand info from (the review just don't answer the questions I want)

Can't help you there, last WWE game I bought retail was in 2006 *bought a 2nd hand copy from some indy wrestler for 5 bucks of 08, but the controls on that version were garbag*. I miss the days of WWF No Mercy for the N64 If only I could find a rom of it and an n64 emulator (and a game pad heh) it be awesome. Wouldn't mind getting a N64 again, i think I still have my old mem card laying around here somewhere.

From the reviews I have read online (stole these direct quotes from wikipedia) 'In addition to using created superstars, the player may also integrate actual WWE superstars and Divas into their created storylines, scenarios, or matches.' and 'The Road to WrestleMania mode returns from WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 with six new stories based on various WWE wrestlers. Unlike the previous year, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 features a Diva-based story involving Mickie James and a story specifically for one of the player's created wrestlers.[29]'

If you don't care about season/career mode get a cheat/hack device so the girls can be in any match type (previous games like 06 it could be done).

yeah, the game wasn't horrible, but in place of having ANY mixed matches, they allow the divas to compete in some more match types, such as a steel cage, but it's been so long I don't remember the whole game.

Mixed matches arent possible to win from what I can remember from playing Smackdown vs Raw 2007. Divas had stats that were too low. They couldn't lift any male, do any real damage or anything.
Well, not that WWE was known for any mixed fights on television anyway.

created characters were the way to go beating males, and I know that, but it was still fun to have mixed matches.

Yes I remember no mercy, but now they've decided to stick with the same factory line game each year just putting the year number on the end of it.

So now Diva can't face male characters, but they are allowed to compete in some (but not all) of the other match ranges... So can they compete in last man standing, backstage matches, burried alive matches?

also do they still do sweat rendering? and has that moved onto created wrestlers now?

I believe they can do last man standing and backstage, but not buried alive.

I'm not sure if they have sweat rendering on CAW now, they might, but i'm not sure.

does anyone use a code/cheat disc with it so that diva can do all the things that male characters can do? and which do you use?

Only two I know of are Game Shark and Action Replay (there might be more out there).

Eugh, I too bought the old SVR games just to play as created women and divas and boy that's like buying a Reese's cup but only for the chocolate and not that icky peanut butter.

I dropped the series with 08 or 09 on the PS2 when they changed up the CAW women system enough to make me not able to make everyone I wanted the way I wanted.

Plus, if you get Xbox 360 or PS3 versions, you probably won't be able to cheat your way to full unlocks, which is doubly irritating. Modern games guard their save files jealously it seems. Coincidentally, this made the annoying grindfest half of Rumble Roses 360 just downright offensive.
