"Sit Back and Watch the Action."
I'd like to pass on that generous offer but then I couldn't review it. This could have actually been a pretty good story mode with a little bit of thinking on part of the creator. He has four WCW, but you can't play them. You have to watch the computer through four long matches with no payoff whatsoever. Let us begin.
Raven Defeats Vampiro
Inferno Match for the Hardcore Championship:
Do you remember the WCW inferno match between Raven and Vampiro? I sure don't. I remember Sting and Vampiro having a Human Torch Match. The CAWs that were used were pretty well done, but I don't know if he created them or just downloaded them from somebody else. Did I mention already that you can't play this match that you have to watch the computer and their weak AI muddle through this match? I was just wondering if I mentioned that before. We aren't reliving any WCW moment here except for how I felt for all WCW PPV: ripped off or cheated. The creator has that down to a tee.
Rey Mysterio Defeats Chavo Guerrero
Ladder Match for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship:
Before the next match we have Bret Hart almost getting run over by a speeding car! Do you remember that from WCW? No? Well, neither did I. This is making as little sense as Vince Russo's era in WCW. Way to go creator got another aspect of WCW down perfectly: making me ask the question: What were they (You) thinking?
Do you remember the famous Ladder Match from Starrcade 2000? Well, don't fully blame the creator for this error. You can't have Triangle-Tag Team-Ladder matches in Smackdown Vs. Raw 2010. The era of the Triangle Ladder Match is over and its not possible. I would have liked to see Shane Helms and Shannon Moore as Three Count once again. Everybody Three Count…..ONE….TWO…..THHHHREEE!
Instead of the triple threat, we get Chavo Versus Rey Mysterio in the ladder match. This is something that would have been a good match had it been done WCW. It also would have been good had you been able to control the wrestlers. Basically you will get a different outcome every time you watch this. Rey won the title in this viewing, so that is what will go down in my book. Just in case you cared, Raven won the Inferno Match.
Next we see Finlay lying on the ground unconscious, and Chavo going to his rescue. Maybe somebody told him about his future about having a future manager and son being a Leprechaun. Somebody should inform Chavo of his future of jobbing to that same Leprechaun and maybe he'll just retire.
Sting Defeats Bret "Hitman" Hart: Submission Match for the United States Championship:
Next up: Sting Vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart in a submission match! Sharpshooter vs. Scorpion Death Lock!!! It's also for the United States Championship in case you were wondering. Alright, let me just control Bret Hart and make that jerk Sting tap to the Sharpshooter! Oh right, AI matches only. Well, at least he picked two good wrestlers and submission experts to fight in this match. Can't blame him for his choice of wrestlers Sting and Hart are top notch. I would have a lot of fun with this match if I was allowed to play it!! This is a video game!! If I wanted to watch somebody wrestle I would put on a DVD or find it on the Internet! I WANT TO PLAY! My controller has already shut off three times while I was watching this as to be able to give it a full review. Not once, not twice, but THRICE! Sting won with a Dragon Sleeper, what the hell? No Sharpshooter? No Scorpion Death Locks? Fuck this.
The Main Event
Survivor Series Style 3 on 3 Elimination Tag Team Match:
The Big Show (The Giant) and Diamond Dallas Page and Macho Man Randy Savage
Defeats
Representing the New World Order:
The Outsiders ("Big Sexy" Kevin Nash & Scott Hall) and World Heavyweight Hollywood Hogan.
In three Straight Falls!
This match might have happened on a random episode of Monday Nitro, but if it was I don't remember it. When I saw the Big Show and DDP coming to the ring I thought the natural opponents would have been Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman from that Bash at the Beach. It at least would have been an actual WCW match and not just ones with WCW wrestlers thrown together and say it was a match. The three on three tag team motif was based on actual events with DDP and the Giant replacing Sting and Lex Luger. The Macho Man CAW was all dressed in black, so I thought he was going to be on the heel side. It is still a match that I would have liked to play, and there goes my controller again! The New World Order lost in three straight falls to the Giant, DDP and Macho Man. The New World Order lost? That's not believable! Somebody get Eric Bischoff on the phone the shit is about to hit the fan! I was right….somebody blew up the Big Shows car.
The End
To the person who created this Create-a-Story Mode please edit it so you can actually play the matches. It will not change my review that you have fully earned but it will help you get better reviews on the Smackdown vs. Raw server. This is a video game and people want to be able to play!! All of the CAWs are great and the match selection is good even if they are not based on actual WCW events. So, all you really need to make this good is to make the matches playable!
Verdict:
On a Scale to 0/10, this gets a negative 50.
Do not download this story mode. Don't let your controller fall asleep like mine did repeatedly. Avoid this story mode at all cost! Save your energy, save yourselves….farewell.
