Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 is based on World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It features professional wrestlers -- both heroes and villains -- punching, kicking, and grappling with opponents to earn a pinfall or submission victory. Some matches include steel chairs, sledgehammers, and other items that players can use as weapons to pummel their opponents, often with bloody results. The game also features female wrestlers who dress and move rather provocatively. It is playable online, a feature Common Sense Media does not recommend for children under the age of 12.
