  1. With over 70 match types, 50 wrestlers, and multiple storylines to play in Road to Wrestlemania, SvR 2009 is one of the hottest WWE titles in recent history.
  2. Perfect structure for a handheld SmackDown, but get the big version if possible. [Dec 2008, p.57]
  3. If this is your type of game, then have a great time, everybody else should probably get their kicks elsewhere.

    The straight truth is that SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 on the PSP is a stripped down version of what's on the home consoles, and it shows. It's not bad, but it's nowhere near as solid as or as entertaining as its brethren.

    Exceptional as far as hand held wrestling games go. The controls are sluggish at times, but it doesn't effect the gameplay all that much. The table match is by far the worst thing about the game, as it takes forever to figure out how to win the match. Overall though, it's worth the money. Expand
