WWE SmackDown ! vs . RAW WWE SmackDown ! vs . RAW ( often shortened to WWE SvR and known as Exciting Pro Wrestling 6 : SmackDown ! vs . RAW ( in Japan ) , is a professional wrestling video game released on the PlayStation 2 console by THQ and developed by Yuke ' s . It is part of the " WWE SmackDown vs . Raw " series ( the first under the " SmackDown vs . Raw " name ) and is based on the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE ) . This game is the sequel to 2003 ' s " WWE SmackDown ! Here Comes the Pain " and was succeeded in 2005 by " WWE SmackDown ! vs . RAW 2006 " . Gameplay . The game is largely similar to its predecessor , but adds some key features . The most heavily marketed ones were the game ' s improved graphics with an increased polygon count and the game ' s addition of voice overs in Season mode provided by actual WWE performers ( previous WWE games had used sampled wrestler voices sparingly ) . The latter feature was somewhat controversial for several reasons . The voice overs supplied are only for wrestlers that are not being controlled - the player ' s controlled wrestler spoke through subtitles . The addition of voice overs was also linked to the Season Mode being more linear than " Here Comes the Pain " . The story lines encountered are generally the same for each wrestler , with the only differences being the difference in opponents encountered , depending on which wrestler is chosen . Several new gameplay features are introduced , including pre - match and in - match mini - games . The pre - match mini games are randomly chosen before every singles match : Several in - game minigames were also introduced : The ability to sustain a submission till the count of 5 once a rope break had been reached was also implemented . The game features several arenas that WWE held events at in 2003 and 2004 ; there are also arenas based on each WWE television show . Clean / Dirty system . Also added to the game was the Clean / Dirty system , which influenced each wrestlers tactics . Players can choose if the wrestler is clean , dirty or neutral . A clean or dirty wrestler has a meter that can be filled up by performing special clean / dirty actions or moves . Once these meters are full , they will slowly drain . Clean wrestlers will have an adrenaline rush for the duration , which makes them hard to counter , immune to further damage and increase their chances of reversing an attack . Dirty wrestlers have a limited time to perform a Super Dirty Move . This move inflicts massive damage to an opponent ' s head and midsection , and can be repeated for as long as the bar isn ' t empty . Skills which benefit a clean wrestler will negatively affect a Dirty wrestler . In the same respect , Dirty tactics will have a negative affect on clean wrestlers . Neutral wrestlers have no bar at all , so they can do anything without an increase or decrease , but they also have no special move . Positive moves : Negative moves : Features . The game features a season mode where superstars play a season on their respective brand . Both brands ' seasons have several brand crossovers and feature the ability to fight for divas to use as managers throughout the season if they are won . The divas include Sable , Stacy Keibler , Torrie Wilson , and Trish Stratus . The player earns money throughout the season to purchase unlockables and legends . They also fight for their brands respective championships ( the World Heavyweight Championship as the main title and the Intercontinental Championship as the secondary title for RAW , the WWE Championship as SmackDown ! ' s main belt and the secondary being the United States Championship ) . WWE SmackDown ! vs . RAW also includes a redone WWE PPV ( Pay - Per - View ) mode from its past games where the player can play sample PPV ' s from 2004 , or create a PPV of their own by booking matches choosing matchtypes and any superstar , legend or created superstar in the game . Created Championships could be waged in the created PPV ' s . Before playing the PPV the game would show a generic highlight reel featuring two of the superstars in the main event of the show . Commentary began to improve and sync up with the matches more . Also , the game featured an all - new Create - a - Championship mode where the player can create and defend the title in their created PPV .
