WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 (Wii)

I had Raw Vs Smackdown 2008 and it was awful! As I'd played other games in the series, I decided to give THQ another chance this year. Well, they have done a good job with the controls, last years were unintuitive and awkward. This year most of the movements make sense. So this game has actually been played rather than sworn at and left to gather dust like the 2008 edition. There are several modes to be played, the first of which is exhibition. Here is where you can set up any match type and win easily. This is the first drawback... exhibition mode is too easy against the computer... typically I can beat the biggest and baddest superstar in the ...  Read the complete review

Smackdown vs Raw finally back on the Wii after last years awful game which felt like a test demo Yukes and THQ have really took it further for the Wii this time around. Smackdown vs Raw 2009 has a lot more to chose from unlike 2008 which only had 5 match types in 2009 it has been expanded with a lot more to do and even having 6 people in the ring at once when SVR2008 on the Wii only had 4. Well let me just talk about what is on the main menu Exhibition - This allows you to play any type of match you want Single, Tag, Money in the Bank, Hell in a Cell, Cage, Royal Rumble, Battle Royle and there is more I for one am happy that the Royal ...  Read the complete review

It great to see this finally onto the Nintendo Wii and be waiting for a long time. The gameplay keeps the customer interested while moving your hands up and down to control you chosen character. The price tag did make me think of not buy this game but I thought I'd give it a go. As I've never been a huge fan of wrestling on the tele but the games have always made me interested playing them on the playstation. There is a lot of disappointing features on the game, first of all is the way you control the character, you'd wish that the Nintendo Wii game could offer more to keep your character under control. As I've had experience on the playstation 2 playing the ...  Read the complete review

I am not really a fan of WWE games or its TV product but this game made a welcome change for me when i picked this up. The games is easy to get into with simple controls once mastered with plenty of modes to boot. All the famous stars are on here, such as John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker and there are a lot of varying match types for all your grappling needs, 1 v 1, 2 v 2, hardcore, ladder, cage and hell in a cell are all on here ready for you to play. Single player is good but not that encapsulating and can become repetitive fairly easy which is where the multiplayer option comes in handy, becomes very competitive on multiplayer when you are trying ...  Read the complete review
