Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Even though a lot of 2008 is recycled from last year's versionWWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007, most WWE fans will enjoy the ride.
The Good:
Great Visuals:Detailed entrance themes and realistic wrestling moves and finishers.
Storylines:The 24/7 Mode, which is a career mode offers many entertaining storylines and surprises.I won't spoil it by listing all of them here, but in Smackdown Career, you can participate in a Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match to see who gets a case with movie contract.
Great Variety of Matches:Most Match Types are here from last year, but also a lot of ECW-style matches are added, like ECW RUles Hardcore Match where you can use new variety of objects, such as kendo sticks and flaming tables.
Replay Value:Along with a lenghty 24/7 Careeer Mode, you can always come back and do it all over again as a wrestler from another brand to experience different storylines.There is also a Legends Mode, which reminds me of Madden 08's Superstar Mode, where you have to relive some of WWE's greatest moments and do them on your own:Use Stone Cold to defeat Bret Hart and even enter Royal Rumble as Shawn Michaels with #1 entry and try to win the whole thing on the hardest setting.
Skill Improvement:Unlike last year where you only play week-to-week, in here you make moves every day.You can spend your days off just chillin, getting rest, or you can use them to improve your skills or try to make money, shoot a movie or compete in a training excerise.However, too many physical activities may land you an injury and fatigue.
Roster:A huge roster filled with most of today's superstars and even some that are no loger in WWE: Cryme Tyme and even TNA's Booker T is in the line-up as well.Hall of Fame unlockables are:Breat Hart, Anvil Neidhart, Rick Rude, Mick Foley, The Rock and many more.Oh and of course, ECW wrestlers join in as well.
The Bad:
Audio:While some voices are realistic, some voice-acting have been performed by generic-voiced actors.I swear that both JBL and Joey Styles are both voiced by the same voice-over.Many wrestlers don't sound like themselves at all!
Load Times:I have played this on my new Slim PSP and while the loading times seem to improve over when I played 2007 version on the classic PSP, the loading times still feel a bit annoying when you want to experience a fast-paced action.
Unrealism:Some wrestlers act out of their kayfabe wrestling character.I have played 24/7 Mode with Kane and during some storylines he would walk around backstage, shaking hands, smiling and telling jokes, which does seem to be out of the Kane character.They should've made a separate storylines for "Monster/Heel" characters that rarely talk.Bottom Line:If you are a wrestling fan, it will be hard to dodge this title.However, even if you are not a wrestling fan, this will still be worth a look if you like fighting games.
