"I think he's gonna flah!",-JBL
PostedAugust 12, 2008
Ok,so it aint perfect.Yes customers, according to u it should be better than real life, but its not ,Its a VIDEOGAME!!! fortunatly My 2nd all time fav.band is Project 86,the soundtrack-(loadingscreen songs)are so much better than last years.The commentary is a tad (2.5%)better than last years,thanx to ecw!why couldnt jbl do that well on commentary in real life smackdown.oh-well,the loading time has been cut down too.PLUSES:Ecw,even though there is only like 5 originals and like 8 on the roster alltogether,sabu and cm punk,Kelly,Kelly,Maria,Estrada,Mvp,Michelle McCool andBald vince,Jeff hardy, and Terry funk are in the game!!!and 8 styles to choose from for your fighting style,(2 per wrestler)using the ref as part of the environment(heel wrestlers)and not the boring ,seperate gm mode.24/7&gm together this time.being able to wrestle in legend mode in a re-creation of some of the greatest WM Matches of all time to earn legendary status and unlock legends in the shop!I enjoy this more than 07s and I hope 09s does take a cue from madden 09 and get a major overhaul,especially with the control system(when it comes to grappling system especially!)MINUSES:Spanish commentary crew apparently is on strike(2nd table is always unoccupied,LOL!)not all of the current roster!NO:Jimmy Wang Yang,Shannon Moore,Jesse and Festus,Hawkins and Ryder,Cherry, Deuce and Domino,Beth Phoenix,Santino,The Miz(although nobody's missing him at all),Note-Kozlov,Vickie,Bam Neely,Big Show Y2j,werent here when 08 was being made.also,creation modes are 98% the same as 07's. they're good, but no real difference.seperate entrances for tag teams(unless yo ve created a stable)Cant design your locker room and no trophy case like in 07's.harder to unlock all the pre-set moves(when purchased in the shop you only get 2 pre-sets!)not as many areas to fight backstage and goes right to title screen w/out doing the raw or smackdown openings like 07'all in all a pretty entertaining game.Ive seen the cover of 09 w/HHH on it ,Pretty cool!I hope theyve addressed the problems plegging the game over the past couple of years though!!! a 8 out 0f 10!

WWE smackdown vs raw was a good game but there were a few let downs. For example there wasn't the big show or sheldon benjamin. They also didn't have cool features in wwe 24/7 mode like being able to send messages to other superstars or going backstage. Also the storyline was pretty much the same throughout the entire game. One thing that is godd that it has a alot of ways to cheat. The graphics weren't the best. Also you can't climb on top of the Cage in a hell in a cell match. The good thing about this game is it is fun wrestling with tag team partner when playing with 2 controllers also, it is cool how they have Mr Mchamon bald. They have alot of macth types like Steal cage, parking lot brawl Last man standing, buried alive match and more.... The hall of Fame mode is very hard but fun. Overall I would say this is the best of the smackdown vs Raw games becuase the graphics are better and it funner to play.

Good game
PostedJuly 26, 2008
When i first got this game i thought it was going to be sweet but it was good not sweet. The commentary is poor it's the same as every other smackdown vs raw game. They didn't have the full rosters in the game and in 24/7 mode when you choose your character the game does not provide all characters in 24/7 mode as in the quick play mode does. I wish the game would have better entrance announcing because sometimes in the game lillian garcia and the smackdown announcer most of the time don't even introduce the superstars, but other than that it was an ok game. I was hoping there would be more use of the arena such as going back stage during a singles match or other matches, and by fighting in the crowd i thought they meant actually going up in the actual stands and fighting but instead there is just a small corner in the arena where u climb over and fight with a trash can, tables, ect. I wish there would be better weapons under the ring such as baseball bats, tacs, metal signs, ect. and the story line sucked. It was short and boring. I wish there was more action to the story line. I wish that cw had more superstars. Other than that its an ok game and it is better than other smackdown vs raw games.

The Game Is Alright

I got this the first day it came out, But i beat it that same day, It was an ok game, But yet there is not enough Superstars on the rosters the plus to the game was the fact that they had, "Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, Ashley Massaro & Kelly Kelly" but the story line was very short and not enough to do, they need to bring some of the old game parts back such as Bra & Panties, and add some new matches, they need to put every diva in a game have a huge story line where you can atlease get one of every diva as ur manager through out the 24/7 Mode, Vince was also in it but the old bastard barely ever fights anyway, but the good things they brought into the game was the spiner WWE title, but when it comes to it there hasent been a game of SVR i havent beat yet, a major down fall is the same comatery lines they get to freaking old "THQ GET SOME NEW SAYINGS FOR THE GAME"
