This game is pretty good. I have the ps3 version so of course the graphics is going to be a lot better. This game is almost exactly the same as svr 08 except the commentary is a lot better. There's couple of new matches and some of the wrestler has better looking finisher than before. The roster is little bigger than svr 08. That's all i have to say about this game so if your into the smackdown series give this one a look or even if you like wrestling. This is the same as 08 just a little improvement but not much. But overall this game deserves a 6.0/10 it is that good. The game play could be a little repetitive but it still fun. The story mode is a little improvement over last year's horrible 24/7 mode which i wouldn't even call it a story mode. Also one more thing if you hate svr 08 get this one a rental cause like i said is a little improvement.

This game is by far a lot better than the previous SvR games. You finally get the ability to choose which title you want to fight for and the rules for each match up to the #1 contender match. Occasionally you're able to choose the match rules and/or type for the title matches. And the stats increase according to all the moves you do in a match. Its nice that the game automatically gives you the stat points after a match so you don't have to worry about which area you want to assign stat points to. The tag matches are insane! Tag finishers and hot tags are very cool. The only problems i have with the game is that you only get one hot tag per tag match, but if you're good at the game and know you can win, doing it at any time is a good way to get a quick finisher. The other problem i have is the commentary is improved but still kind of repetitive. The soundtrack is cool and being able to skip songs is another great addition. Create-a-finisher is just as good as you'd expect. Simply select how you want to lift them, then select either to hold them up for a while before slamming them or how you want to drop them immediately. A definite must-buy for SvR fans of all ages.
