@@d941997 Maybe. But i distinctly remember my character asking stone-cold if he cleared it with Teddy Long, and Austin laughing back saying hell no I didn't clear with Teddy Long. But to be fair it's been like 15 years, so I could totally have Mandela effected this whole thing
So much nostalgia for this one, I think it was the first WWE game I got whenever it was new & it was & still is a genuinely good game. Got it for PS2 back in the day & enjoyed the heck out of it, if only the newer WWE games could put as much content & effort this & the older games had.
This was my first PS2 WWE game. Prior to this, my last WWE game was Smackdown 2 on PS1. So for me... this was a huge step up. Issue was that I stopped watching wrestling in about 2001 so I had no idea who half the roster was 😅
One of my favorites still not over here come the pain but it’s definitely in my top 3 wwe games I’ve ever played in my life idc what anyone says the soundtrack was absolutely amazing that’s how I got introduced in to rock and metal music and it’s honestly a treasure to play this game
@@MR.__G every thing u can imagine from gameboy color up to ps2 and even games like svr 07 on xbox 360 and also some ps3 titles run very smooth on the deck plus new games like wwe 2k23 or nba (from the steam store) are absolutely playable. maybe do some research on the deck, watch some videos so u can make up ur mind about it. From my experience i can tell u that i was hesitant at first because of the price tag but having one console with all that nostalgia in it is simply amazing. Never regretted that purchase. The only tricky part about this console/PC is the start with the deck because u have to install a bunch of things but there are lots of tutorials here on yt that will help u.
I was obsessed with CAW in this, especially to make characters like Sagat and Alex from Street Fighter, and my own original characters with their own storylines. SvR 2006 was the last wrestling game I truly enjoyed until All-Stars. The AKI/THQ titles will always be the GOAT, though.
10:58 - Yeah, I hate to admit that the load times are what I remember most about the PSP version of SVR06; way back in the olden days of UA-cam, someone uploaded a video showing how long it took to go from booting the game on the PSP menu to just the start of a 1v1 match: around _7 minutes._
They definitely should have put it back in the way it was in the SVR games & just gave us more customization options for the brands & such. We wanted it back but not like how they've done it now.
Oh you didn't know? Depending on your choices in season mode, who you play and which show the story can change dramatically. You might miss out on the Legends Tour, or the culprit in running down Teddy Long could be...whoops, spoilers. Raw has an entirely different story where you challenge Evolution, aid Regal and Eugene, and more.
I would say around the time, they probably were short on taglines. There was no Rock putting out catchphrases left and right. SvR "Hustle Loyalty and Respect" or SvR "Lie cheat and steal" doesn't quite flow, and some of the guys on top at the time didnt even really have a catchphrase (Batista for instance)
Can’t wait to see the rest of the SVR series being covered. Sadly enough this was the last game me n my friends really played before splitting off to high school where we started growing interest in other things. And btw I can speak for everyone here when I say we would love a GM series from you. You always find a way to throw in some funny commentary. The divorce money joke in this video had me laughing out loud lol
I was 7-8 years old when this game came out and it was my favorite game ever. I used too spend so many hours playin this after school and on weekends. Great video I miss this game
I played SvR 2006 for a while and it was fun during my college years. 2007, 2008, 2009 were out and I was still playing it. Had various CAW sets/rosters on 2006 like TNA, ECW, ROH, CZW, NJPW, etc.
SvR 2006 was one of my favorite, what i loved about it along with the others was the soundtrack. The season mode I used to play hours on end too even loved decorating your own room This and SvR 2008 was the best in my opinion WWE '13 only enjoyed because of the homage to the attitude era
Here it is... my favorite PS2 wrestling game. And definitely in my top 3 wrestling games of all time, regardless of generation. GM mode monopolised many hours of my time... it was the first wrestling game I was really able to play since before my daughter was born in 2000, so I got lost in GM mode big time... in fact, I still regularly check in on (and play several matches of) my over 15 year old Gm mode save! I've been looking forward to this one for quite a while! We definitely need a WB GM Mode series!
In terms of strictly the SvR portion of the overall series that started in 1999 with _WWF SmackDown!_ , SvR 2006 is by far my favorite. I remember having tons of fun by not just playing all the game had to offer out of the box, but using a CodeBreaker cheat disc to unlock NPCs (J.R., Eric Bischoff, King, Tazz, Teddy Long, Mr. McMahon, etc.) for use in matches, and also it was the only way to unlock Jake “The Snake” Roberts without hooking up a PSP to a PS2.
@@SRC267 I prefer ’06 to ’07, personally. All 3 you mentioned are great games though. Can’t go wrong with ’11, it was the first game to have Universe mode, just like how ’06 introduced GM mode. Universe mode is basically GM mode on steroids, for lack of better phrasing.
An absolute gem of a WWE game its the SDVR game I have the most memories about. Was too young to really understand MyGM mode at the time and *_damn!_* that annoys me to no end! Sidenote: *_The Trophy Case in Career! Why did that hit my Nostalgia Switch?!_*
This was THE definitive Smackdown(vs raw) game for me, I created characters I still make to this day in the 2k games and loved getting all the trophies in the lockerroom, I was so excited to see you finally get to this game! Great vid!!
I played almost every WWE game from Wrestlemania 2000 all the way up to the one on 3rd gen consoles that was super nostalgia baiting the Attitude era, but SDvR 2006 was always my favourite. The way it played felt really good, the first game with their updated creation engine that they'd use for years after, all around claimed a special place in my heart.
This game, in my nostalgic mind, really combined everything I loved from the heritage of WWF/E Games and combined them all into a wonderful melting pot. The soundtrack, songs from it, I still listen and frequent to this day.
One of my favorite revamps of the series. I had Smackdown 1 from back in the late 90s as a kid to SVR 2010. Quit wrestling games and started back with 2K 17 and last one was 2k 20.
I played this game soooo much with my buddies back in the day. Is make wrestlers on my Psp while at work and upload them on my friend's ps2 and battle each other. We had factions and all our own stories. Amazingly good times.
Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 is easily the best in the Smackdown vs Raw series the match types are so much fun season mode and GM Mode are amazing glad I still have this game on the Ps2 i don't have a Psp and that's why i didn't get the Psp Version the women's roster is awesome but it's missing a few women the gameplay is so much fun the soundtrack is Fantasic i really like the stamina system great review.
Absolutely loved this game I created so many wrestlers like Sting,Nash,Goldberg, DDP,Jeff Hardy,The Dudley Boyz,The Road Warriors,The Great Muta, Jushin Thunder Liger,Ultimo Dragon, Arn Anderson,Tully Blanchard,and Barry Windham,man the memories so good.
This is the best Smackdown vs RAW 2006 is so much better than the wrestling games today. Controls were simple and effective, controls in the wrestling games today are too complicated and unnecessary.
Some things I disliked in this game besides the stamina meter are the sound effects. Certain hits sound like slaps even though they aren't, especially compared to SVR05. Just not as satisfying. And fighting a dirty AI is just annoying b/c they keep going out of the ring way too much, and sometimes get themselves disqualified on purpose. But the title belts are definitely my favorite additions in exhibition mode.
You don't know how weird it is seeing Torrie WIlson kiss Hulk Hogan. I remember they did a story line with Eddie Guerrero where he was Choke slam by the undertaker into a casket I didn't get to do that story line until like over a year after I bought the game it was just weird. I still remember this game came out a day or two after Eddie's death. I was still replaying this game years after buying it. Here are my top 3 Smackdown: Shut your Mouth Smackdown vs Raw 2006 Smackdown: Here comes the pain
Im still playing the gm mode to this day & never getting tired. Would love if you would made a series about it with some logic booking in comparison to the other gm mode videos you find here
The fact that the options menu lets you take off new features if you want and doesn't penalize you in the story modee makes it amazing alone.

RVD and Eddie looked like they were mimicking riding a horse, when they walked. I do miss unique stances.
Christy Hemme's stance was perfect for replicating John Cena's.

The various endings to svr 06 season mode is dope the ecw story is dope

This entry was my favorite of the series.. I loved using 80's Hogan. He was a beast.

In black and white or replay a hit.
They made jake obvious to unlock.
