I was really excited to hear about this. Its about time a MS system gets a good WWF (I meant E) game. I dont even watch wrestling anymore (stopped about 3 years ago and will check it out a little bit a couple times per year) but I still would love to get this game.
Heres a link with a review and some screenshots.

That's good news.. now let's get the game at least halfway a quarter decent. The last 2 Smackdown vs. Raw games have been absolute shit in my eyes. Horrible, horrible, crap.

you must be joking if you're referring to SvsR 2006! Best US wrestling game ever.
Very much looking forward to this. They are finally on the right track.

Wow, I thought that SvR 2006 was as close to No Mercy quality as we were going to get. I'd say No Mercy is #1, and SvR 2006 is 1a, it's almost impossible to pick. But if they find a logical way to beef up GM Mode, I'll probably barely touch any other modes. I found myself playing that the most and it was basically just a text game.
But the models look a little too shiny and reflective to me. There was a thread about this recently I can't find, but I think it's a terrible trend in next-gen games that every surface look like it's been buffed and waxed.
