    WWE SVR is back...and featuring ECW!

    Pros
    • Still fun to play as a WWE fan as all other WWE games are
    • Huge amount of match types as their always has been

    Cons
    • Bad story, isn't nearly as good as previous games
    • Still bad clipping and animation issues

    Presentation

    Menus are done very well, aswell as the entrances for most characters. Cut scenes before matches get VERY repetitive.

    3.5/5

    Graphics

    An improvement, although they could have been much better. Improving at a snails pace from previous games.

    3/5

    Gameplay

    Very fun to play as a WWE fan. If you're not a WWE fan it would probably still be fun to play. Controls are getting better. Huge amount of matchtypes. Creating characters and what not is fun. GM Mode gets boring after a half an hour.

    4/5

    Sound

    WWE superstars are done very well. The announcers (JR, The King, etc) voices can get very annoying and repetitive.

    2.5/5

    Online

    Fun and adds to the replay value. Can use characters you've created in the game which is nice. Usually no serious lag problems.

    3.5/5

    Lasting Appeal

    Unless you're a WWE fan, a month or two tops.

    3.5/5

    Overall

    If you're a WWE fan, pick it up. If not it's only worth a rent.

    3/5

      Smackdown vs Raw 2008 on 360 is quite a fun game. Many aspects can be fun but, also a lot of aspects are just either dated or just not to well done. There are a bit of new features such as the ECW overall and the addition of superstar fighting styles but overall the game hasnt changed too much. So this game has your standard modes of play. Their is your typical match types as singes, doubles, triple threats, fatal four and so on. Whats special this year is that all of those matche variants have ...

      It's rather upsetting that yet again, were forced to swallow yet another rehashed game not worthy of our gaming machines.  I mean, the same animations have been used for awhile now.  Even dating back to the Ps2 and the first Xbox, the animations for some of the superstar’s finishers have been the same.  That's quite possibly the most frustrating thing about this game. The brand new addition to this game is the ECW no rules match (i.e. Hardcore Match), and the only new addition to that actual ma...
