THQ has gone into more depth with regards to the ‘Road to WrestleMania’ mode for Smackdown vs. Raw 2011.Â
“This year, players will truly feel what it’s like to live the life of a WWE Superstar as they deal with the choices and realities of a backstage environment with more freedom and player choice. Along the way, players will form alliances or make enemies backstage that impact the Road to WrestleMania journey.Â
They can choose to play as one of five different WWE Superstars and experience their unique stories like never before. In addition, they will solve puzzles, complete challenges, uncover hidden items and unlock both WWE Superstars and historic WWE Legends of the past. There is always a twist in the story, and it’s all up to your decisions. This all awaits you in Road to WrestleMania.”
The five characters you can play as are:
- Undertaker – you play vs. the Undertaker to try and end his winning streak
- Christian
- Chris Jericho
- Rey Mysterio
- John Cena
THQ is also promising TV style presentation, RPG elements, and first person views so you actually feel like you are the character, rather than just watching him/her.

I’m sure there was more than 5 characters last year, and there was definetly a woman you could play as. The stories were good, but it felt a little shallow in terms of gameplay last year so if it’s fleshed out I’m happy.

Isn’t it a vs. Undertaker storyline? Thought you played against him to end the streak. Anyway, can’t wait for this game. Will be the best one in years.
