WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 - PS3

Originally bought this as a gift for my boyfriend but now we play it together and we’re actually a pretty unstoppable team. Love this!

Got to play the GM Mode and everything! I really enjoyed this classic

As a fan of the series and as a game i played previously alot during my childhood this brought back some memories and i choose this game because i liked the ecw brand that was represented in the game and how it had a few of my favorite childhood wrestlers(i grew out of this faze) but as someone that just wanted to experience the old games because the new ones had issues i can say the gameplay is 8/10 and it has shown its age now but its still a very fun game with alot of replay ability and a great soundtrack and just note that the graphics are not the greatest because this was developed for the ps2 era also.

It came in a great condition

Same problem as the other reviews, the damn menus don't fit the screen. I don't know if this is an oversight from the original developers or if the seller somehow messed with the game. Either way, it makes the entire game useless because you can't change settings, create wrestlers, or anything else that requires the menus.

great condition

Everything is fine except when you get to the menus it's way too zoomed in. I've tried both the tv itself and the console itself and made no difference. If anyone is familiar with this problem and knows how to fix it I'd appreciate it.

Dope game bought it 2x

Perfect thank you very much

Not bad actually. But go for 2013 its too good.

I used to play this when it was first released and after seeing it at such a good price i thought id set up the ps3 and buy this for past times sake. Its a fun game. Great 2 player aspect too. The old ladder, tlc, cage, tag team matches were perfect.

This by far was one of the best S vs R game I played on PS3, the graphics are awesome, fighting styles make each individual wrestler different, unlike other wrestling games where they feel very similar. It was cheap and cheerful and controls are easier than the current versions PRO's - The graphics are awesome - Fighting styles make each individual wrestler different, unlike other wrestling games where they feel very similar - Strong Legend Roster - GM mode, quite possibly the best feature of this game - Having hardcore matches, buried alive matches init - Having a king of ring, tag team championship and individual championship tournaments CON's - 24/7 mode is useless at times and has only one play-through. - Overall roster is too small. - More in depth hall of fame feature - The Season modes are ridden with little things that make the game almost unplayable. - The ability to determine what your superstar(s) do on days off sounds like an intersting thing on papaer but doing EVERY day all year (especially in GM mode) gets repetitive. - At certain points throughout the game in season mode (as a superstar) you will be prompted to make various decisions and almost every time your "choice" are ignored and the game will simply proceed down one story path or another without reference to what you chose GM Mode's Pros and Cons: Pro - It was joyful to be a GM of my choosing and pick superstars, match types, having money, beating rival bands weekly rating, and buying available superstars I wanted Con - Wasn't always easy ensuring the superstars of my chosen roster to be in good health every week after my choice of big or medium match types Con - Keeping up with rival brands (RAW,SD,ECW) for better weekly rates every week and PPV's was hard Con - Starting over from the start due to losing superstars and money slowly then sizing down some more superstars to keep enough was always annoying Pro - The addition of ECW was huge and adds a fun dimension to general manager mode. The game does a good job of rendering the facial features of the bigger superstars and the ECW extreme rules match is alot of fun. ''24/7'' mode/storymode pros and cons Pro - I wont deny that It was never tiring to start the season again with the same or new superstar of my choosing but I at times it wasn't all bad Pro - The addition of ECW was huge and adds a fun dimension to general manager mode. The game does a good job of rendering the facial features of the bigger superstars and the ECW extreme rules match is alot of fun. Con - On all three shows (SD, Raw, ECW) you play the same people throughout the whole year depending on the show you're drafted to and this, consequently, makes the story-lines slightly rubbish Con - After a year of completing the game I found myself playing the same story lines that I had already done around 8 months, such as Candice Michelle dumping Edge, then fondling my character, Edge getting upset, war with ECW & Dreamer, Invasion from either RAW or SD, choose to go either brand after the invasion or else you make an enemy of yourself to them, having Mick Foley as a partner, then he disappears then come back and changes his image to Cactus Jack, then he betrays you etc. Con - Having held the WWE Championship for approximately 8 months or more, the GM (at the time) Stephanie McMahon, gave me the option to stop the punishment I was receiving by giving up the title, or to ignore her and carry on. One time I chose the latter option. So what happened? It was stripped from me the very same day, for no reason, and had to wait 3 months (game time) to get another shot for it. It was either a programming error or an extremely bad story line. Despite the faults and annoyance I experienced with the game, this is one I always played and never got bored.

Great game!!
