Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: The Number One fighting game franchise in the world is back on the PlayStation 3 with WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, giving wrestling fans the definitive simulation of the WWE experience. The latest version brings enhanced graphics, new matches, a huge roster of wrestlers, and more to keep WWE fans excited for a long time to come.
A huge roster of superstars are included in the game, drawing from the Raw, Smackddown, ECW, and more. Some of the players include: Ashley, Batista, Chris Jericho, Hardcore Holly, John Cena, Kane, Layla, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels, William Regal, Big Daddy V, Big Show, Edge, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Chavo Guerrero, Finlay, Tazz, and dozens more. In addition, the Create-a-Superstar returns, letting you customize your own character, play as him through the career mode and become the next superstar. You can also use the new Create-A-Finisher feature to make a unique finishing move by chaining together 10 different animations out of over 500.
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. Play Online and Download New Content You can play against friends online in different matches, and this time, voice support has been added so you can trash talk to your heart's content. Additionally, you can also download new content to keep the game fresh. WWE fans and fighting game fans alike will both love this latest game, giving them a chance to grapple as their favorite superstars. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - SVR2009 Back with a Vengeance!!!I was a bit disappointed with Smackdown vs Raw 2008, but THQ out did themselves with Smackdown vs Raw 2009! I love this game!!! I prefer my own CAWS and they delivered big time!! Create your own finishers, highlight reel, and the AI has really improved! If you can only buy one game this is the one! Rating: - WWE SvR 2009 gives enough new and tweaks for a buy!Hello everyone! Personally, I strongly recommend this 2009 version of Smackdown vs Raw 2009 because right from the start it feels FRESH. Why? Well, this is the first year TAG TEAMS (co-op) are the main focus and attraction. It is BALANCED by far over 2008. Every superstar big or SMALL can WIN given you memorize the moves in the game booklet and practice--learning curve a few hours. Your COMPUTER PARTNER is fairly aggressive and the AI is the best to date. HINTS for moves are given to you during the ...

The biggest difference however is the loading times. This game loads MUCH faster then the previous 2008 version. Rating:  - More of the sameAfter playing for a few hours, you may realize that this game is just more of the same. The game just doesn't feel new. Good points: Really interesting story mode. This time, it's wrestler specific, so the story mode is much more fleshed out. You will probably get most enjoyment out of this mode. But that is about it in terms of good points. There is create a finisher mode, which I previously thought had a lot of potential. But after playing with it for a few ... Read More Rating: - A Real Improvement.The Smackdown game series since about Here Comes the Pain has been on a downward spiral. Many loyal fans of the series abandoning it because they felt like THQ were putting the minimal effort into the game, simply because they knew it would sell. In many ways they were justified for turning their back on the series as it gave THQ the wake up call they needed. This game seems like one of the very first games in the series that a hell of a lot of effort was put into it. With a massive roster, an easy to ... Read More |
