With crazysteve coming to up to visit next weekend, I have been hard at work creating a story for us to play through in Smackdown vs. Raw 2011. The Story Creation mode is pretty sweet, as you can not only set up a bunch of matches for each week (for as long as you want), but you can also add in the crazy storylines to give it that hilarious wrestling feel. You want a car exploding? You can do that. You want some guy to get jumped by a bunch of others wielding chairs and brooms? You can do that. You want to have you and your best friend fight over some scantly-clad chick? Yes, you can do that too (perv).
The best part of their story creation mode this year is that I can make massive storylines that support up to six players at a time. Since it’s just Steve and I, my current story is a combination of different tag team matches. This is why the SvR series is the best co-op gaming series: I’m practically making my own game, personally customized and tailored to my friends and my own tastes. You can add in your own dialogue/smack talk, so there is plenty of room for inside jokes that will have your friends laughing it up, and to make it even better, they can take control of their own personal wrestler.
I’ll most definitely work on more as time goes on, but I am just polishing up this current one. Once we have played through it, I’ll write up another post detailing exactly what my friend and I experienced in our own custom WWE storyline! I don’t want to give away any details so I don’t ruin Steve’s surprise, but I will say that I created a short month-long story which encompasses four regular weeks and ends with a Pay Per View main event.
