Review Summary

More and more people are becoming engrossed in wrestling games thus contributing to the rise in the popularity of the said games, the latest one being WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008. WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 comes with a new superstar fighting style system. There are eight styles available namely; brawler, dirty, hardcore, high flyer, powerhouse, showman, technical and submission. Each style provides a different fighting experience such as, brawler allows for more pounding moves, showman will let you steal taunts and finishers, while dirty will allow you to kick behind the referee’s back. The existing WWE superstars each have two fighting styles to choose. The level of difficulty varies from the levels. However, according to the reviews, there has not been much change from the previous series. The graphics are ok though the animation could have been better. The soundtrack is good but the commentary is not to the level. Many reviews feel that even though the game has some positive modifications like the analogue controls, making the game a whole lot easier to play, but the AI still needs to be improved. Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 could have been a much better game but some gamers still consider it a lot of fun.

    In the end SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 is probably not worth your time. If you really commit to putting time into the game, you’ll be able to find a lot of content to busy yourself with. However horribly executed it may be, there is still a lot of playing time to be had. If you’re a long time fan of the series and you’ve stuck with it this far, you’re probably getting what you expect from a yearly "sports" title, but don’t hold your breath if you expect to find somethin...

    Ultimately, Smackdown VS RAW 2008 is a lot of fun to play. The finishers are simple to do, the grappling system controls great, and the actual wrestlers themselves are bang on in appearance, attitude and abilities. Fans of wrestling on TV will love that ECW superstars are included, adding to the mass of potentially playable characters. The only real problem is the lag factor present in the online multiplayer matches (the same problem was evident in last years edition ... Read more

    Another year, another highly anticipated edition of THQ’s perennial Smackdown Vs. Raw. This year, a lot of changes have been made the the extremely successful, but aging Smackdown engine. Some of them are for the best, and some of them will be disappointing to longtime fans of the series. It all adds up to a flawed, yet very enjoyable experience for SVR vets and newbies alike.

The standard version of the PC title Crysis topped the German chart, with the collector's edition coming in at number six. The PS2 version of WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2008 remains popular in both countries, as does Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Interestingly enough, the PC and PS3 versions of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare made both charts, but the Xbox 360 version is no longer in the top ten in either country. The complete li...
