This version is great, Better then last years

Posted : 15 years, 4 months ago on 7 November 2008 10:55

Smackdown VS Raw returns on the Wii and last years was awful with only 5 modes but now Yukes have seemed to put a whole lot more effort in to this version by adding match types, a real story mode, defend championship titles (plus you get to see them). The game however still features the same bar which sort of makes it an arcade style wrestling game but this is not a bad thing it's decent at least the matches last longer in this version.

The great features of this version is you get interactive enterances and victory scenes which do add more fun to the game. The game also features the Royal Rumble, TLC, hell in a cell, steel cage, battle royle, ecw extreme rules match, backstage match, ladder. However there is no elimination chamber or inferno match they have sadly been removed but this is nothing major.

A new story mode is now in the game Road to WrestleMania but it only features Triple H, CM Punk, John Cena, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, and Batista and Rey Mysterio where you can only play as those 2 as a team. I am annoyed to see CM Punk having his own story mode when Edge should have clearly got one he's been the best wrestler this year. This mode features real clips and also makes it look like the TV show.

Finally Yukes added more moves to the game and a system where you can try to get out of moves which has you shaking your nunchuck analogue stick. It was finally good though that Yukes did listen to the people as we are the paying customers and they should be listening to us.

This is the first one to feature an online mode I can't see a downloadable content section. Online matches you can do but you can only do certain match types and the annoying thing is the lag it does get bad with lag specially for me. I have spent over 4 hours on this game and I got to say the graphics are not the best who cares the gameplay is good, the soundtrack is awesome finally new modes in the Wii version and online which is certainly a fantastic thing.

*I'll update this review when I play more of it*
