WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 (Wii)

WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 finally comes on to the Wii but did it play well and what is the game like. I bought this game the day it came out because I like wrestling games and I am a big WWE fan. This game only has 5 modes which is shocking and this is what it is Single, Tag Team, Hardcore, KO Mode and Triple Threat. So i'm going to tell you about them. Single - well you already know what that is but very short. Tag Team - this was so easy to win ...
...never happen in a real WWE match. But what i do like in a wrestling game is the choice of modes the fighting I like having a pretty long match. But with the Wii version of this the matches usually lasts under 5 and 3 minutes, the entrance's last longer then the time your wrestling you can tell that this was mostly made for multiplayer. Main Event mode is the main game 24/7 mode has been removed and Main Event mode sees you fighting on Raw or Smackdown ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 (Wii)

WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 on the Wii is a disappointment, to say the least. I myself am a WWE fan, but this game does not exactly fill me with excitement. Firstly, there are only 5 match types, while the PS3 and Xbox etc. get many more including Hell in a Cell and Ironman. Also, the lack of weapons is appalling. Take the Hardcore matches, for example. WWE has plenty of weapons, such as tables, ladders etc., and THQ only puts steel chairs in the Wii ...
...brilliant, swinging the Wii remote to perform moves on your opponent,though they do get a little frustrating at times. The commentary, however, is a little repetetive, with certain phrases being repeated 2-3 times during matches.The taunts are good, but do get boring after a while. Story Mode is so-so, starting at newcomer rank and making your way up to main event level. It is a little too easy though. Tournaments are poor, King of the Ring is easy ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 (Wii)

The popular SVR franchise arrives on Wii, and in my opinion they shouldn't have bothered. To be fair they worked hard on the gameplay and incorperating the new wii controls to make something pretty special, but the cost to introducing this was high. The game fails to deliver on so many levels, there are very few match types and you are restricted to how much you can actually do with your superstar. If you shop around you can get it cheap and the ...
...you will be. On a plus the career mode is satisfying and you get a real sense of achievement when you win the championship, but in order to unlock every unlockable superstar you have to complete career mode to many times. It's mildly ammusing and will keep you attention but it will leave you waiting to see what they do with the title next year. ...

Review of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 (Wii)

after reading a few reviews and watching in-game videos, i came to see that this game was the perfect game to buy. so i bought the game from play.com for £10. when it arrived, i opened it up and started to play it. But within the first 5minutes my wrist was already aching. the graphics were great and so were the litrtle extras the wii offered, but there were no obvious controls, like the ones you'd find on the PS3 or XBOX. 2-player mode builds up ...
...you intend. for egsample when i attempt to pick up a chair i find that no buttons will allow me to pick it up. but if i keep walking around it my player will automatically pick it up. this is not good when you do not want to pick up a weapon.. ...
