MY SON SAYS THE GRAFICS ARE GREAT.HE CAN NOT PUT THE GAME DOWNHE HAS IT FOR HIS PSP AND HIS PS2
They should've made a separate storylines for "Monster/Heel" characters that rarely talk.Bottom Line: If you are a wrestling fan, it will be hard to dodge this title. Even though a lot of 2008 is recycled from last year's versionWWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007, most WWE fans will enjoy the ride.The Good:Great Visuals: Detailed entrance themes and realistic wrestling moves and finishers.Storylines: The 24/7 Mode, which is a career mode offers many entertaining storylines and surprises. Many wrestlers don't sound like themselves at all.Load Times: I have played this on my new Slim PSP and while the loading times seem to improve over when I played 2007 version on the classic PSP, the loading times still feel a bit annoying when you want to experience a fast-paced action.Unrealism: Some wrestlers act out of their kayfabe wrestling character. I have played 24/7 Mode with Kane and during some storylines he would walk around backstage, shaking hands, smiling and telling jokes, which does seem to be out of the Kane character. I won't spoil it by listing all of them here, but in Smackdown Career, you can participate in a Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match to see who gets a case with movie contract.Great Variety of Matches: Most Match Types are here from last year, but also a lot of ECW-style matches are added, like ECW RUles Hardcore Match where you can use new variety of objects, such as kendo sticks and flaming tables.Replay Value: Along with a lenghty 24/7 Careeer Mode, you can always come back and do it all over again as a wrestler from another brand to experience different storylines. I swear that both JBL and Joey Styles are both voiced by the same voice-over. There is also a Legends Mode, which reminds me of Madden 08's Superstar Mode, where you have to relive some of WWE's greatest moments and do them on your own: Use Stone Cold to defeat Bret Hart and even enter Royal Rumble as Shawn Michaels with #1 entry and try to win the whole thing on the hardest setting.Skill Improvement: Unlike last year where you only play week-to-week, in here you make moves every day.
Oh and of course, ECW wrestlers join in as well.The Bad:Audio: While some voices are realistic, some voice-acting have been performed by generic-voiced actors. However, too many physical activities may land you an injury and fatigue.Roster: A huge roster filled with most of today's superstars and even some that are no loger in WWE: Cryme Tyme and even TNA's Booker T is in the line-up as well. You can spend your days off just chillin, getting rest, or you can use them to improve your skills or try to make money, shoot a movie or compete in a training excerise. Hall of Fame unlockables are: Breat Hart, Anvil Neidhart, Rick Rude, Mick Foley, The Rock and many more. However, even if you are not a wrestling fan, this will still be worth a look if you like fighting games.
