WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 For The Xbox 360 Game Review
March 2, 2008 | Filed Under Game Reviews | No Comments
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 is available for the Xbox 360 from THQ at a price of $53.99. This game series has way too many features piled up on it. This latest in the series again has new components. However, hardly any of these new components better the game in any manner. Although the gameplay is fun, the many little problems that have been unaddressed really spoil things.
This year “fighting styles” have been added to the set of components already prevalent in the game. Every type of wrestler has certain abilities. In addition there are also secondary abilities available. The various styles include, hardcore wrestlers, showmen, dirty fighters, submission specialists, brawlers, high flyers and technical wrestlers.
Mostly the abilities assigned to the different archetypes gel with the moveset of each wrestler. Other than the addition of fighting styles there has been no major change in the gameplay. The ECW has been added this year. However the AI is not as good as it could have been. The collision detection is bad as well. However the character modeling is great.
There are tournament modes and unchanged create modes in this game. The voice acting is not really good. If you own the previous game in the series, don’t spend your dollars on this one. If you are a hardcore wrestling fan with nothing else to do check it out.
