With much of the 24/7 mode content being pulled over from previous versions, and most of the gameplay having been experienced before, WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 doesn’t feel fresh on PlayStation 2 anymore. This was to be expected now that the game is coming to not one, but three next-gen consoles, as well as PSP and Nintendo DS. On the bright side, the series has yet to die on the current generation. Series veterans will enjoy it – they just won’t find it as satisfying as some of the previous iterations. Review Scoring Details for WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 Gameplay: 7.0 The gameplay is still exciting and engaging. You’ll want to play solo or multiplayer matches even if the other modes have lost their lure. Graphics: 7.0 No better than last year’s game. Sound: 7.0 The cheesy voice acting can be somewhat overlooked thanks to a hard-hitting rock soundtrack. Difficulty: Easy/Medium Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 isn’t the hardest wrestling game ever made, but its Hall of Fame mode will test your endurance. Concept: 7.0 The application of fighting styles and their player-specific nature improve the overall package. Unfortunately, that’s the only improvement to speak of – the rest of the game feels like a revised Smackdown Vs. Raw 2007. Multiplayer: 7.5 There’s still no better way to play Smackdown than with a friend. Overall: 7.0 A good rental for most and a decent buy for the super-hardcore wrestling fanatic, WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 doesn’t push the series forward. But with the next-gen consoles in full swing, it doesn’t seem like there is much room for the game to grow without jumping ship. Play this one if you love its prequel, and plan moving to PS3 or Xbox 360 for Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009.Read full review
I have always been a fan of these wrestling games. I decide to buy this game when i heard that it even have ECW. The game it self is like SvR2007 but with some new features and improved graphics. The game speed is little slower then SvR2007. SvR2007 had better movements, but SvR2008 has much better graphics. does have a decent roster but not the best that i ever seen. Overall its better then SvR2007 and a fun game to play for hours
Cons first. It has just a couple ways the game can go , and the same thing happens every time you play. I feel we should have been able to NOT do some things , just to see what new path it would take us on. ( Not going to spoil it for anyone ) Also , you can't pick ECW players. Pros. The way you can make your own person is GREAT , the moves are very good , the graphics are VERY good. Over all , the game is good , worth getting.
Smackdown vs Raw 2008 has to be the worst in the Smackdown vs Raw series. Considering WWE's lack of talent in its current roster you would think they would have gone all out on the game instead of taking things from the game. The create a wrestler is the worse ever. WWE has limited the clothing, hair styles, entrance music and entrance movements. They eliminated many wrestler taunts and move-sets. In the past i have created some of the most lifelike wrestlers creating the very best rosters, but now it is nearly impossible to create a decent lifelike wrestler. In some cases you have to give your wrestler different taunts and finishers. The graphics are very good but, the movements are no better than before. Most of the commentary is carried over from 2007 and you can no longer play as the ref. WWE and THQ should be ashamed or at the least embrassed by Smackdown vs Raw 2008. I held off buying the game due to the lack of talent in WWE's current roster and i'm realy glad i waited. Overall Smackdown vs Raw 2008 is a very poor product in my opinion.Read full review
