WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008
Description (IGDB)
The 2008 edition in the Smackdown vs. Raw series holds new features to the WWE game franchise. This is the first in the series to include the extremists of ECW, including The Sandman, Marcus Cor Von and CM Punk. The game also features a new struggle submission system, new weapon choices including guitars, and eight superstar fighting styles, including Showman, Powerhouse, High-Flyer and more. Each player can now choose a primary and a secondary fighting style. It continues the legend trend and new arenas, such as Wrestlemania 23, Unforgiven and Summerslam as well as the classic superstars like Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair. The roster largely depends on the platform, and some versions include wrestlers not available in the other ones.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« This is definitely not a title for the casual gamer, but if you're a fan of the franchise or just really love throwing half-naked men off ladders and pinning them to the ground, then WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 is about as good as it gets. »
« With the most familiar controls of any version released this year, the Xbox 360 version edges out the PS3 version this season, by a hair. »
« A massive step forward for SmackDown's fighting system. Now the rest needs tidying. [Dec 2007, p.42] »
« Still, controlling every moment of every fight is just ridiculously fun, and you'll be quite content while you wait for what should hopefully be the ultimate WWE game next year. [Dec 2007, p.74] »
« The eight new fighting styles for each wrestler in the game are a nice addition that provide some great diversity in the characters, but they destroy the game’s balance. »
« The good news is that once you do hop inside the ring, you tend to forget about who is missing as you try to figure out how you can slam your head into a steel cage or get hit in the back with barbed wire and not get hurt (you can't). »
« Feels far more like the world of WWE than it did in 2007, and the new animations and added pace are a blast. [Issue 26, p.84] »
« SVR 2008 is definitely a step ahead for the series from a gameplay standpoint. The new controls, fighting styles, and ECW content really take the series to the next level in terms of in ring action. However, the disappointing 24/7 mode and the return of some nagging problems keeps this title from being the truly great experience it could be. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« It’s alright it’s got those ECW stars and it’s GM mode still fun but need improvement to 24/7 mode due to similar cutscenes here and there. »
« It has its flaws, although it is not very different from its predecessor and the roster is worse, what I liked the most about this installment was the 24/7 mode that I think improved one and at least it is more entertaining. »
« I´m absolutely no Wrestling fan, but WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 always was a great fighting game. The graphics can still hold up today and especially the local multiplayer is very satisfying! Sadly, the single player is a bit boring after some hours and the cut-scenes are embarrassing. Still good couch fighting fun! »
« It's great! I really enjoy playing GM mode. Wish they would bring it back in current games. »
« This game is good keeping the formula of the last Game of the Series almost intact and having great graphics for early XBOX 360 this game holds up pretty well today and it even has better graphics than the more recent WWE games on XBOX 360. »
« Combining Story mode and GM mode was either the smartest or stupidest Idea ever. While both play excellently, the inability to play both at once ****. The Hall of fame mode gives you some goals to work towards and the controls are great as always. »
« Pretty good game in the series. Graphics were decent, gameplay was entertaining. If you are a fan of WWE or wrestling, it's defently a game to pick up. »
