Advantages: Joey Styles give exciting commentry, interactive taunts, good graphics
Disadvantages: controls very limited, matches are way to short, commentary can get annoying
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 finally comes on to the Wii but did it play well and what is the game like. I bought this the day it came out which i did play £34.99 so here is my review on how much of a rip off this game is.
This game only has 5 modes and this is what it is Single, Tag Team, Hardcore, KO Mode and Triple Threat. So I'm going to tell you about them.
Single well you already know what that is but very short.
Tag Team this was so easy to win all that happens you lay your finisher on your opponent the tag team partner will break up the pin throw them out of the ring you pin your opponent 1,2,3 you have win or the computer has.
Hardcore what is so hardcore on this all it has is steel chairs and its just boring i can't even say its hardcore.
KO Mode - all you have to do is KO your opponent simple
Triple Threat - fight three wrestlers in the ring
This game also features King of Ring and Beat The Clock Match will also smackdown vs tournament and road to wrestlemania.
The game controls lack their just is not much on them but mainly lifts like power bombs it really just feels like your fighting the same match over and over. I found at least one wrestler i enjoyed playing as and that was Rey Mysterio is finisher the is good with the Wii controls. The taunt system is also a good idea to have in this.
But what i do like in a wrestling game is the modes the fighting i like having a pretty long match but with this every match. But with the wii version of this the matches usually lasts under 5 and 3 minutes, the entrance's last longer then the time your wrestling you can tell that this was mostly made for multiplayer.
Main Event mode is the main game 24/7 mode has been removed and Main Event mode sees you fighting on Raw or Smackdown you even fight on ECW. Now the crazy thing on this game is the Pay Per Views you will end up fighting at No Mercy on here weekly but in the real WWE this event only happens once a year This happens on countless times. This gets boring and brings the game down to shame.
Creating your own wrestler is terrible in the game making your wrestler is not the big problem it's selecting an entrance. Why is this a problem you have entrance such as entrance 1, entrance 2 etc but you can't view this so you will have to leave all this and go into a single match to view it which takes far to long. This is the same with the music it's annoying and why didn't they check this out my idea is they were lazy.
It just feels like this game wasn't worked on as good as it could of been made this is no where as good as Day Of Reckoning. What should been used on this game is the classic controller we would of got a better game out of it but no we get the Wii controls which does not even suit the game and gives the game limited controls annoying. Shame on you THQ and Yukes for developing this you ripped all the wrestling fans off and WWE should be ashamed.
Summary: Not worth buying even if you like wrestling like me this is not worth it get it on another console
