WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 08 - Playstation 3 (Released 2007)
This year in the Smackdown VS Raw series each wrestler now has two fighting style categories, one primary and one secondary. Each fighting style has its advantages and disadvantages in each particular match type. There are eight styles altogether: high-flyer, hardcore, submission artist, powerhouse, showman, brawler, dirt and technical. The wrestler's special move, however, is based solely on their primary style. A new "struggle submission system" has been introduced, incorporating more analog control into the game. The player executing the submission can now decide how much pressure is applied by moving the analog stick in a particular direction. Similarly, the player locked in a submission hold will have to power out also by using the analog stick. The new features to this game is the ECW brand along with ECW rules and the ability to have tables on fire.
The season and general manager mode from previous games have been put into one big mode called the "WWE 24/7."Players can choose to play one of the game's included superstars, a created superstar or as a general manager of one of the brand. Playing as a wrestler, the goal is to take that wrestler and achieve "legend" status. In order to do so the player has to win matches, team with and feud with other wrestlers and gain popularity. At the same time they must choose whether to train, exercise, relax, or take part in other activities when not wrestling, all with their own positive and negative effects. I personally don't like the GM mode it's like previous years and with hardly any new additions. The game allows several match types to be played. This includes the Iron Man match; Battle Royal; Hell in a Cell; Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match; Hardcore; Ladder match; the Elimination Chamber; and Royal Rumble.
The multiplayer mode is what stands out the most. The special matches such as the ladder for instance, could last a very long time before someone actually wins. The gameplay is as solid as ever, with the new additions and smarter AI this game is actually pretty fun. The graphics look more sharp than previous installments from the sweat on the wrestler's boides to even the slightest marks on their heads as you can see in the pictures below.
In conclusion, with the new additions to the game such as the new struggle system, features, fighting styles, and the 24/7 mode this is a must have game if you enjoyed the previous Smackdown games. Also available on Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii. PS3 and 360 game identical. (Review by Joeedahoee)
