SmackDown Vs Raw 2008

I am a mediocre wrestling fan. However when i played this i was immediatly hooked. With the up to date graphics i wasn't disappointed. However, it did become very repetitive after a week of having it so i lost interest in it a bit.

Overall - Worth buying for a laugh with mates. I hope 2009 has more game types!

there is something enjoyable about smashing a small guys head in with a barbed wire stick that is set on fire.that is why I love this game. there is so many things that I could say but one thing sums it up rated R for rejoice

I am a big fan of the smackdown franchise and have been for a long time, smackdown vs raw 2007 was an ace game for all the right reasons and with smackdown 2008 in my hands i thought its going to be the 2007 game with way more things to do, an even better title.....how wrong i was.

The game lacks and forgets to improove on a number of things that made the 2007 game what it was, such as:

1. When your ontop of the hell in a cell on 2008 there is an invisible field around the edge now so u cant accidentally fall off due to your mistakes. In 2007 it was nerve racking and tense being up on the cell wondering if u make 1 false move you will fall off and your down for the count.

2. They have not removed the ridiculous spam moves that online players constantly use and toaly ruin the experience, anybody who played frequently on the 2007 will know about the instant headbutt move that players would just spam onto you untill your red and pin you as this move was 99% effiecient and out of my year playing the game i think i managed to reverse it once, and among my friends im known for being the reversal king.

3. not only have they left the old spamming moves in such as the instant heabutt they have also added new ways that the online players can ruin the experience, such as the diving roll trait from a high flyer which can escape 99% of any tricky situations for them leaving you open again to be spam headbutted over and over.

4. The fragility of wrestlers on this game is pathetic my grandmother could take more of a beating than the wrestlers on this game, do 3 moves and your on red body status just about. now in comparison to smackdown 2007 that is truly feeble and this made the game boring rather than challenging.

Smackdown vs raw 2008 had so much potential with uploading your own theme tunes and smoother gameplay, even the traits were a good potential move, but THQ and co. could not have gone more wrong with this title its slow and boring with wrestlers that take less beating than a wet paper bag can.

if your after a challenging fast paced adreneline rush wrestling game then smackdown 2007 is the ultimate choice

(if you look up youll notice the game has already halfed in price and its only been out a few month, that speaks a thousand words in my opinion)

wise words:
dont buy this because its the newest one.
