WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 gets multiple covers

by Ben Gilbert on Aug 16th 2010 11:00PM

Wanna snag eight WWE superstars all on one game box? Too bad, as THQ's WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011 will feature eight WWE wrestlers across several region-specific covers.

One of the two revealed covers will feature John Cena, The Big Show, and The Miz (United States, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and India) while the other will get Randy Orton, The Undertaker, and Sheamus (Europe). Two more wrestlers will be revealed "later this year," presumably for a cover that'll end up on boxes elsewhere in Asia. And though we haven't seen it yet, we have to imagine it features screaming buff dudes, just like the other two. That's a ... good thing? We think?

Aww, Europe gets the infinitely better cover. =(

@Bcta30

I'll agree with you regarding the new version of the 360 covers. The old covers looked fine, but now they look obnoxious with the big blob on the top right. But honestly, the cases themselves don't really matter.

Randy Orton on the front cover?
Sold. He is a phenomenal wrestler!

@Kal El

He used to be a US Marine, but got dishonorably discharged since he couldn't take orders from his superiors. Surprised he could even find a job, but a guy like him is perfect for this kind of business. Loud and obnoxious thrives in professional wrestling.

@Raiki Yeah. He's a really egotistical, and isn't afraid to show it. Got a bad temper, shown it in the ring 2 or 3 times before too.

But he's damn good, and in a profession that suits him.

The Miz is on the US cover, thusly making it the superior version.

@Double J Well he is the Miz and I hear he is kinda awesome.

@Double J

Miz is a funny way to spell Edge

I want the cover with Bad Irene. I hear she's addicted to abortions.

cena you whore ..randy makes a better choice by a loooong shot..maybe not financially cause kids love him, but hes definitely not the better wrestler imo hes like a pokemon he can learn only four attacks

@Jacksy yeah with one of those moves being "Hypnosis"

if video games didnt cost so much. i would so buy every different cover

@endgamer77

You could probably print out your own covers for much cheaper than buying each version of the game.

Sheamus and The Miz sucks, that alone makes both covers suck. NEXT!

@Faenix I agree.

Macho Man Randy Savage or GTFO.

Daniel Bryan needs to be on the cover.

Definitely think the Orton cover is better. I like Sheamus' heel character better than the Miz. And John Cena has been on almost all of them (I think '09 is the only one without him because it was the DX cover)

I remember Raw for the XBOX having custom soundtracks so you could create a fully customized intro. Did they ever manage to bring that back to the series? It's probably get me to buy it again. I remember the first outing on the 360 wouldn't let you do it and I was a sad panda :(

@GenMan yea its back it, its been back for some time now. my last champ came out to Benoits music.. what a tune!

Supposed to be a truck load of information coming out today about said game.

I want Taker here in the States!!!

I want Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks!! :(

Horrible Box Art along with bad selection of wrestlers on U.S version.

i didnt know people still play these games. big show still wrestles??

The eastern part of the world always gets the better covers. :\

Anything with Cena on it, I can't buy.
