The Smackdown Vs. Raw series has been the undisputed king of the ring (pun intended), when it comes to wrestling games, just like the parent franchise WWE has pretty much been ruling the wrestling franchise for generations.

If you’re looking for a unique shooter experience let me tell you right off the bat that Wolfenstein’s not it. It has nothing innovative or outstanding about it, but somehow, its bag ‘o used goodies still comes together to offer an entertaining experience.
