Old one is nearing the final stages of lockdown, so here's a new one!

You know, for all the gripes, and complaints this game is getting, I am really enjoying it. Have yet to attempt the HOF mode though.

Edited because XXVIX isn't the Roman numeral for 29.

So, I must know. Is this one worth the buy or not?

If you like the last game, definately.
If you hated the last game, no.
If you didn't mind the last game, yes.
If you haven't played any of the recent SDvRAW series, it's really worth a tryout.

Keep in mind this is just one guys opinion.

[Raja Lion]

Its crap.

I just got another damn perverted voice mail from Lashley lol. First one he was sex grunting at me, and this one was just heavy breathing.

I cant believe I just figured out this was the Smackdown vs Raw video game thread.

So. . . The game plays like last year's game?

What's the HOF mode?

HOF mode is the Hall of Fame Mode

You go recreate monumental matches, on Legend Difficulty, to unlock other titles, etc.

On an aside, you know those cutscenes where you're all buddy-buddy with your storyline counterparts? Well, something made me laugh...I saw Mark Henry....doing......SITUPS!!!!!!



Oh, the hilarity!

The thing I don't get about the Smackdown vs. Raw series is how everything that was so right about '06 becomes more and more broken in later games. For example, an announcer's voice that doesn't match the character in the ring. Like, what could have possibly HAPPENED? That's something that didn't even need to be touched at all.

The storylines got much worse in 07 than they were in 06 too, I noticed.

What about the fact that in '06 you could never hit a top rope move. Or if you tried to hit a finisher that included a pin. No matter how weak the opponent was, it would never pin them.

There was lot wrong with the 2006 game. Hell, at least you can turn off all commentary this year.

Well, atleast ladder matches are now playable again after the crap that was the sweet spot location.

[crunkenstein]

I really wish THQ would realize that TLC matches are not decided by pinfall.

[boiledewokthe3rd]

Is there any way of manually selecting who I am targeting on the 360?

Well but then it would be a normal ladder match with extra tables thats not really working better

[willywonka666]

So did they fix some of the glitches? If, not, why?

[Erik Majorwitz]

This series lost me when they added the stupid analog stick to the control settings. At least give us a choice damn it! Now, I just buy the game just to have it, stupid I know...

[Big L]

hey is it me or does HBK's theme music on SVR 2008 sounds like the one from like the early 90's? kinda like it's muffled

Nope.

Man that Mitb challenge for Hof is hell

[Erik Majorwitz]

They need to put all the themes and Titantrons in the game so we can actually make genuine CAWs...
