Wwe Smackdown Vs Raw 2012 Psp

Upon release, critics gave the PSP version scores averaging 65-70% (compared to 80-85% for PS3/Xbox 360).

Fan consensus today: A nostalgic curiosity. It is appreciated for being the last "traditional" SmackDown vs. Raw game on a Sony handheld (the series ended on PSP with WWE ’13 the following year, which was nearly identical). It is not the definitive way to play SVR 2012, but it is functional and enjoyable for short bursts.

The PSP version has a limited version of the console's creation suite.

The PSP version had a reduced roster compared to PS3/Xbox 360 due to memory and UMD space constraints. It featured approximately 45 unique superstars (versus over 70 on home consoles).

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2012 PSP occupies a unique space in wrestling game history. It was the last major wrestling game for Sony’s iconic handheld. After this, WWE '13 and 2K14 skipped the PSP in favor of the PS Vita, and we all know how that story ended (the Vita version of 2K14 was an unplayable mess).

For collectors, the UMD of SvR 2012 is rare. Because it released at the tail end of the PSP’s lifecycle (just months before the Vita launched in the West), THQ printed fewer copies. A sealed copy today can fetch between $40-$80 USD. wwe smackdown vs raw 2012 psp

This is the cinematic story mode. In the PSP version, you have specific storylines to play through.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2012 on PSP is a compromised but playable entry in the long-running series.

Final Verdict:

A respectable port that does the basics right, but one of the weakest entries in the SVR 2012 family due to technical and content cuts.
