    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.
  2. 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.

  1. 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. Full Review »
  2. 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 sucks. The Hall of fame mode gives you some goals to work towards and the controls are great as always. Full Review »

    Utter crap. Last years game was great, despite it being a PS2 port. This was forgiveable given it was still early days in the new-generation era. In 2007 however, it is completly unforgiveable for THQ to release a game that is still a PS2 port. They made a few big changes to 'refresh' the series which is fancy speak for 'mask the fact its the same'. Awful. Stick with the 2007 version. Full Review »
