WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 delivers one of the most balanced and enjoyable wrestling gameplay experiences of its era. The controls are responsive and accessible, making it easy for newcomers to pick up while still offering enough depth for experienced players. Strikes, grapples, and reversals flow smoothly, and the timing-based reversal system adds tension and strategy to every match.
The addition of weapon physics and improved environmental interactions gives matches a more authentic WWE feel. Tables, ladders, and chairs behave more realistically than in previous entries, and signature and finisher moves are satisfying to execute. While some animations can feel stiff or repetitive, the overall in-ring action is fast, fun, and engaging.

These tools allow for extensive customization and add significant replay value. Online and local multiplayer modes provide solid competitive and cooperative fun, though online performance can be inconsistent.

The soundtrack fits the WWE style, featuring energetic tracks that complement the high-octane action. Entrance music is authentic and helps enhance superstar identity.
