Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: The Number One fighting game franchise in the world is back on the PlayStation Portable 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 -- all to play while on the go.
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. 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: - Take the good with the badI'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 ... Read More Rating: - Best wrestling game Ive ever playedNow Ive played every Smackdown (vs Raw) game ever and the first Raw game and I have to say this is the best game Ive ever played. Sure it has its faults: -No Buried alive match -PSP version doesnt have Downloadable content like PS3 and X-Box360 -Nor the Highlight reel -Graphics are still average for the psp -A couple of glitches -The so called create a finisher is still great but is also has limits like you cant create a high flying move or a submission ... Read More Rating: - Fun but with some of the same ole flawsI do like this game but it's not as good as it could have been. What's good about it is that they tried to update the roster, you can download newer wrestlers like Evan Bourne and Ted Dibease. I don't know why you can't get Koslov though, I think he was around longer than Evan Bourne and Ted Dibease. Plus since it's a tag team game, it should at least have tag team Legends that won't be on Legends of WresleMania. Instead we get to unlock lame guys like Tony who's supposed to be a soldier Cena ...
