WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 is a professional wrestling video game released by THQ and developed by YUKE's Future Media Creators. The game is based on the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It is the latest installment of the WWE SmackDown! series and is the successor to 2005's WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 and has been succeeded by WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 in the Fall of 2007. THQ, YUKE's and WWE officially confirmed the game on March 31 2006. The game was released in November 2006 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 consoles and was released in December 2006 for the PlayStation Portable system.
The game introduced a few key new features including an analog control system, interactive hotspots, and fighting within the arena crowd (fighting in the crowd was included in WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It, but hasn't been in another game since .) The game also included several improvements on the previous game's existing match types and modes. The Xbox 360 version was the first game in the SmackDown! series to be published on any console besides a PlayStation.
