WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 (Xbox 360)

The Good:

- Graphics are still great
- CAW (Create a Wrestler) system is deep
- Custom entrance music for Xbox 360
- As fun to play as last year
- Inclusion of ECW matches and rules

The Bad:

- Career mode was merged with the GM mode from last year and the results are sub par.
- Announce team still repetitive and not much new has been added. Voice acting, in general, is poor
- New grapple modes can be confusing
- Move set for CAW system is minimal and basic. There were more moves available in the RAW games and No Mercy on the N64.
- Engine is showing it's age...(clipping, poor AI)
- Where's the tag teams?
- Poor "Legends" roster and outdated current roster. (No Hogan?)

fast service. cheap shipping, this works great and is exactly what i wanted and i am very glad i did it and good communication.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

item just as described.the shipping was fast,so overall great seller...thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The disc that came would not play in my XBOX360 or my friend's... It was not even recognized as a real disc. This is a bootleg copy that the company is selling as "previously used". DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER

The WWE games still might suffer from awkward hit detection and now minor targeting issues, but the series has never looked better. For every thing that could have been better, there's another feature that makes up for it. Kennedy's entrance? Snap! Best CAW ever? Snap! 24/7 mode? Others hate it, I love it! That roleplaying feel is perfect in my honest opinion; it adds a depth to your character that I believe every game should have had (How many times have I wanted to send Snitsky out on long-term or break Benjamin Shelton's ankles clean off?).

Really, you just have to try it for yourself before totally trusting in other reviews. But maybe I'm just biased on wrestling games; I've owned every one of them since the NES, after all.

i liked every thing about this game. my favorite thing to do is play as a huge character and wrestle against a female and put her through a table or two. that is why i bought the game and it is an all around good game.

I purchase this game for my 15yr old son. He plays it just about everyday. I now considers me the coolest MOM... This game allows you to create your own characters; hair style, facial features, tatoos, outfits, special moves, etc. I observed my son do lots of things with this game. It is a must have for any individual who likes Wrestling. It also has WWE, RAW, and ECW Characters...

First, Let me Start By saying that Every year I Play The New WWE Games as if I were Playing The Madden or 2K series And the Game was Fun But some of the gameplay I'm Sad to say was Awful but just the updated rosters we're alot Better, The only thing I really disliked was the 24/7 Mode we're you can customize your Character , but found that the A.I. was A Little too difficult even on normal mode. That Is All I really Have to say. I Bought It because of the new roster.

I purchased Raw Vs Smackdown 08 for Xbox 360 and its in great condition box has no marks instructions no tears disk has no scratches fast delivery. I would recommend anybody to purchase a product from this seller.

I love this game. My whole family enjoys it. We have WWE SmackDown vs rAW 2007 and could not wait to get our hands on the 2008 version. We love it. Thanks

Overall this is a decent game if your into wrestling. Graphics's are great and the 24/7 mode is pretty cool. Aside from just having matches, you also have to play mini-games in order to raise levels (stamina, speed, strength ect.). Which has it's pluses and minuses over last years assigning points where ever you see fit.
The roster now includes ECW, but even with the addition it seems alittle thin over last years roster.
My general feeling is that this game was rushed and offers very little improvement over 2007's SD vs. Raw. If you dont own either, I'd say buy 2007, it's basically the same thing and you can get it dirt cheap (under $10). But if you have to have it, wait for a deal, especially if you already own 2007, because like I said, it's more like an add on than a whole new title. I'd say it was worth the $15+ I won it for, but any more and I would probably feel alittle cheated.
Good luck and have fun!

This game is arguable one of the best games for xbox 360. Besides the graphics this game is easy to play and entertains you for an extremely long time, I decided to buy this game on Ebay because of the great prices, I highly recommend this game for 360 gamers who havent played italready.

my son loved wwe smackdown 2007.when we saw 2008 and seen how cheap it was, we couldn't resist.the shipping was good and it came quickly.now my son can enjoy 2007 and 2008 thanks to the price.

Let me First say after playing this game its great. You can finally upload your own music as a entrance which is something I have been waiting for. Also there's so much to do in carrier mode its a very great game. New submission controls, very easy for beginners to novice. The downside, if you bought last years I feel the interaction was a little better. You don't really get to pick your own way by answering questions like last year. More of a pre-assembled path which is ok. Also alot of the same commentary and after playing last years it gets old hearing Jr and King saying the same stuff over again this year. But all in all I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

the game was in horrible condition the person who i bought it from is a liar. This was such a horrible expeirnece i have had on this site

Everyone can play, Lots of things to do. Nothing disliked about it at all.
My boys love to play this game. Fun!!!!!

super great graphics fun to play and i great game and game you must have is your like wrestling it will keep you playing for hours

Purchase 2008 WWE for xbox360 game shipped quickly in about 2-3 days. recived in excellent condition just like seller had posted.

WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 featuring ECW is an amazing addition to the hit selling wrestling franchise. With outstanding new additions and improvements, '08 dominates '07 in many ways. There aren't any new match types, except for ECW extreme rules match, but I have to say this match is the best part of the game. Extreme rules allows you to choose, before you start the match, the weapons that are going to be under the ring, for example you can replace the default kendo stick with a guitar. Also, only for this kind of match, there is a scrolling wheel that will let you choose what weapons you want to take out. Not like SvR 2007, garbage cans, crutches, etc. aren't only seen in the audience area. Plus, you can take out more than one table, which in '07, you could only get more than one table if it was a tables match. Moreover, now that the ECW brand has come to the WWE, the hardcore styles come with it. You can now, with a saved finisher icon, set tables and barbed wire 4x4s on fire, which will inflict twice as more damage if used. Now onto chairs, chairs can be used in so many ways now in '08. Instead of just smashing it across the opponents face, you can open up the chair and put it on your opponents leg or neck and than stomp it to inflict a lot of damage. But that is not all, you can also put the chair in the turnbuckle and then irish whip the opponents head into the chair. Lastly, by using two chairs, you put one under their face and smash the other chair in the back of the head. Before I finish talking about the weapons, the bell now makes a bell sound! when used and finally once again you can use steel steps. With a ultimate grapple move, you can powerbomb, suplex, etc. your opponent onto the top of the steel steps. Furthermore, this year each superstar has a different style of wrestling, for example, Batista is a powerhouse, Jeff Hardy is a high flyer, and of course Sandman is hardcore. I'm not going to talk about this so much because there is too much to say, so I'm going to keep it nice and short. Each style allows you to do different moves. So if your a hardcore superstar you can do those chair maneuvers that I explained earlier but if your not a hardcore superstar you can't. High fliers have the possum pin, powerhouse has rampage mode, and etc. If you want to know everything about the wrestling styles look for the video on youtube. Moreover, every game has a down side to it, in this case it's the 24/7 mode. This year THQ combined the season mode and manager mode together as one. But that's not the problem, if your superstar gets injured and your doctor says to take sometime off, but you really can't so you must fight in the matches with the injured shoulder, leg, or whatever, while trying to both win the match and by trying your best to not get the area already injured more hurt than it is. It may sound good, but in my opinion, it just sucks the fun out of season mode. So trying to earn money or trying to get your created characters stats up is a huge hassle. Also new to 24/7 mode is now you can go into interviews, appeare in movies, autograph signing, and much more to boost your popularity. Other than that, there is one new tournament added this year which is beat the clock. WWE Shop is back if you remember it from N64 WWF No Mercy. You can purchase, titles belts (WWF Attitude Championship, WCW Classic Championship, etc.), kits for player type (powerhouse, high flyer, etc.), legend superstars (Sabu, Terry Funk, Stone Cold, etc

Grandson loves it ! It was for his birthdaty Was very happy he has been playing it a lot. Thanks a lot!!!!!

I recieved an obvious scratched and unplayable game - upon emailing a response to the seller about this - she didnt bother to return my email - I have since sent the item back and am awaiting a credit - not sure if it is going to happen ?

whn i got this game i immediatley got online to see how it works, but it seems that almost every session was really slow. the story mode isnt all that great and its really repetetive. nothing really goes on. its an ok game but i cant wait for 09..that game looks really good.
what i liked about it though was the gameplay and the extra things u can. u can choke ur opponents on the ropes and set chairs on turnbuckles..the impact of the weapons are also really cool and the different fighting styles they have. they need to work on involving ecw more. its like whatever..

I decided to buy to buy it because my grandson absolutely loves wrestling!!! So he saved up his money(Which I like because he help me with my daily chores)(I'm a caretaker)!! Sometimes I think that just the thought of buying something makes him happy but, still! He loves wrestling, and he plays it daily so I'm really impressed with that fact.
