The annual THQ release of a WWE title seems to come every October, and 2004 is no different with the release of WWE Smackdown vs. RAW, the fourth release on the Playstation 2 and the sixth in the series, which launched originally on the Playstation 2.
This year’s installment is set to feature for the first time online play via Sony’s network adapter. Not only will this be the first WWE title, but the first online wrestling game released in North America on any platform.
Create-A-Belt is debuting for the first time in the Smackdown series. At this point, its unknown whether the created belts will be used online, or just for offline battle between friends. This feature was last seen in the Gamecube’s Wrestlemania series.
For the second year in a row, the Smackdown series will feature legendary wrestlers. Among this years cast is the legendary Andre The Giant, who is in action against the Big Show in a few screenshots you will see below. Gamecube’s WWE Day of Reckoning include Bret Hart, Greg Valentine, and Andre The Giant among others.
