WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 (Xbox 360, 2008)

I am a big fan of the SvR series of games & also of wrestling. I've played every Smackdown game. And this game doesn't disapoint. There are nice new moves & wrestlers. And the online play is very fun, if you play with the right people.

The CAW mode, as always, is top notch. As you can create virtually anybody you like.

The Road to Wresltmania mode is fun. But it doesn't take that long to complete each wrestler's story and there isn't much replay value unless you missed an unlockable. Each Wrestlers story takes about 1-3 hours.

The career mode is fun at first but quickly gets boring & repeative. This mode just has you fight superstars teirs for titles to build CAW stats. This is the only way to build you're CAW's stats & abilites.

The new Create-A-Finsher mode is nice touch. There aren't that many possibles but it is fun to fool around and see what you can make. Hopefully next year more moves will be added, but it's a nice feature. It is also abused in online play as alot people create finshers that look ridiculous but have very high damage rates.

This is the first SvR game to include a roster editor, which means you can finally change what brand a wrestler appears on the select screen. Which is nice when a the superstar changes brands on WWE TV & you like to keep things updated. You can also change the WWE championships around.

If you are a fan of WWE, at least give this a rental. You won't be disapointed.

Smackdown vs. Raw is back, and it is in the 2009 form. This games feels just like the other Smackdown vs. RAW games from 2007 on. I really didn't find too much improvement from the previous years models. The story modes that were included on the game were better than years prior, seeing that you were able to have a more of a feel for your character. The storyline's were focused on the characters that were predetermined. You can be John Cena, The Undertaker, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio/Batista, CM Punk. This is in Road to Wrestlemania mode. A mode where you only play for the few months that lead up to Wrestlemania. If you want to be a wrestler not listed above, you will have to wrestle in exhibition matches, or in Career Mode, a mode with no superstar voice over, a mode that basically feels like a lot of matches. The plus to the mode is that you can build up your created superstar, challenge for titles and gain attributes. The character models aren't bad, the graphics look great. Their are a few flaws, for instance, no matter how long your match is, at the end your wrestler will be sweating. The commentators do more play-by-play this year. While it was a good idea, it needs some fixing, the announcers need to call the match better. Sometimes there are moments of silence, that aren't capitalized on until you do a move, where that announcers will call it. They don't call all of their moves by names, sometimes they just say generic stuff like- Oh, what a move. Overall the game is a great wrestling games that looks amazing. One mode to check out is the Highlight Reel, where you can take clips from your matches, and make a WWE DVD out of it. You actually edit the match with loads of effects, and you create the DVD case and DVD cover, then you can show it off to friends or on the internet via Xbox Live. Their is one last thing that I feel I need to point out. The default difficulty mode for the game is Normal. However, it seems like to is to easy on this mode. When you change the difficulty to hard, it gets ridiculous. Your opponents will reverse every other move, and it becomes a very challenging and annoying game. I just think it needs a little work, and a huge improvement for next year! It may not sound like it, but I love this game and all of it predecessors.

If you're a wrestling fan this is a must have. On the 360 the game doesnt drag when you play the battle royal, money in the bank, royal rumble and fatal 4 way modes like it does on the PS2. Create a wrestler option is alot of fun. There are downloads available for the game as weel. You can update the roster via downloads. The best thing of all though is that you can import the roster of SvR 2009 to the Legends of Wrestlemania game. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best I give this game an 8. Thank you for the opportunity to review this game, & thank you for reading.

the seller is good a bought a svr 2009 from him and it came on time and it was exactly described The shiipping was good if i were you i would buy from this seller

Overall good game. We bought it for our son for christmas and he loves it. Good graphics and action. Good selection of WWE superstars and customizeable opponents. Music and superstar moves are great.

Item arrived in the original package. Nice people to transact business with.I decided to buy the item from the seller because the starting bid was reasonble and moreover, my cousin had been pressurizing me to buy a wrestling DVD for his new year's present. When he got the item he was exceedingly grateful and that gave me a sense of accomplishment.

Love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome graphics....super moves....rocking tunes!

Can't wait for next years version--better than any other wrestling game I've ever played!

there is nothing to dislike, i love this game. i have a hdtv and it looks perfect on it when playing

The game was in great condition and came very fast. I am very pleased with the quality of the item and the sellers shipping speed.

I'm not buying from this seller because the game I bought came scrached and broken this seller sucks

me parecio muy bueno el precio, y tenia tiempo de estar buscando, este producto
todos los juegos que tengo de esta cionsola los he comprado en ebay, siempre me has salido perfetamente bien el precios es muy bueno

Action packed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this games. I can't stop playing it with my buddies

Bought it for my nephew and he loves it. He also plays it a lot with adults and they seem to get into it just as much. Great graphics, especially when playing in HD. Would recommend this game!

Just as described. I was very satisfied with this item. It plays very well. It was for my child and she is very happy with the item described..Shipping very quick.

A step up from 2008, Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 really delivers with it's Road to Wrestlemania storyline. The only thing that bugs me is that the environment, character models, and some entrances seem to be recycled from the previous installment. Let's hope they step it up with 2010. Overall, a worthwhile game for any wrestling fan.

I have really enjoyed this game. The actual gameplay is pretty smooth and the graphics are great. Prblems i have are that... i still have trouble with setting ladders down correctly (that may just be me tho), and the fact that only a few ppl have a story, and i dont like having to get so many stars to contend for belt in career mode. i would prefer just winning all the matches, not having to worry about technique and excitement. But dont get me wrong, i still like this game a lot. deffianately worth the buy for any WWE fans
