WWE Smackdown vs Raw '09 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been playing the WWE Smackdown vs Raw games since they came out.While I really enjoy this game, there are a few glitches that have annoyed me.

Pro's:
- Great Graphics!It's hard to image this is on a portable game system
- Fast load times - Thank you!(this has been my complaint in the past)
- Huge selection of wrestlers (but lackibg legends)
- Create a finisher!(Wow - this was a blast to do!)

Let-downs:
- Physics - A lightweight should not be able to toss around the Big Show like he's 150 pounds (but it happens)
- No fighting in the Fan Area (if there is, I haven't found it)
- Not every wrestler available of the Road to Wrestlemania (this is the only segment with a story line)
- Career mode - No story line, just matches...bit of a let down

I've enjoyed playing this game for the last few days, but I just keep thinking that something's missing (like Hulk Hogan).Now, the important question, "Do I recommend it?"Sure why not?It's improved on a few areas, and it's still a lot of fun, but it does feel like it's lacking something.....

Tag Team matches are emphasized in Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, and there are many new additions to make the game more realistic and fun. Players can now perform double teams on opponents, such as having one player hold an opponent against the ropes while on the apron, or pulling down on ropes while an opponent is running to send them out of the ring. And there are now different ways of tagging in, such as the forced blind tag and reversible hot tag. Teams also get team-specific finishing moves that are incredibly satisfying to perform.
In addition to tag matches, there are 14 one-on-one match types including the Inferno, Gauntlet, Falls Count Anywhere, Steel Cage and Ladder matches, and even a Backstage Brawl.
Road to Wrestlemania Mode
The single player Road to Wrestlemania mode offers a deep and diverse story line that is filled with brand defections, team building, and strategic alliances. You can choose from Triple H, CM Punk, The Undertaker, John Cena, and Chris Jericho to play in this single-player mode. There is also a story line for co-operative play, in which players control Batista and Rey Mysterio. The story lines are so custom tailored and well done that you might find them more compelling than what you see on television.
WWE fans and fighting game fans alike will both love this latest game, giving them a chance to grapple as their favorite superstars.
