Favorite Major THQ WWE Game?

[Orange]

Throughout their history, THQ released a TON of games for major consoles, as we all know. The question today, FAN, is which one was your absolute favorite?

In all honesty, I'd have to say '06. There was something about that game that was incredibly fun, and I guarantee I've put more time into it than any other THQ game that I've played.

SMACKDOWN 2 playa

Day of Reckoning and Here Comes The Pain, which were pretty much last attempt by THQ to make a marriage of simulator and arcade notions.

It's mostly gone down the simulation road for the last few years, and I can't help but feel that something's been lost.

Props to Smackdown vs Raw 2008; which had a very cool GM mode, if a little tedious at times.

HCTP, but I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure it was the last WWE game I played.

I'd have to say WWE '13, which is funny, because the way the roster originally looked, I was really apprehensive about it. But through the DLC, we've got an incredibly solid roster with most of the major players of the current era and the Attitude Era alike (barring a few major names in TNA), and the creative suite (which is always the highlight of the game for me) is better than ever. I could spend hours (and in fact, I probably have) just creating arenas. Throw in a bunch of new awesome moves and animations, particularly those in the last DLC set, and it's an incredibly solid game.
To be balanced, it does lose points for the major step backwards in terms of story mode (Give me something original over a rehashed Attitude Era any day), and there are a few odd things that seem to have been removed from the weapon physics, like falling from a ladder onto the ropes, which was disappointing. But overall, it's still very replayable.

My other faves, briefly:
- WWE 12
- SVR 2010
- Shut Your Mouth
- Smackdown 2

SD - Shut Your Mouth. I honestly prefer the more arcade style of gameplay and thought it had a great amount of alternate attires and entrance videos in it (i'm a sucker for customization) and really enjoyed playing the 2 year season mode. Though I have to admit I have never played No Mecy or the PS1 games.

Day of Reckoning 2, one of the greatest video games of all time.

Here Comes the Pain and the original SmackDown vs. RAW
