Not the best wrestling but at least it was an improvement from a very lazy 07. 08 is pretty ok but it's not really long term and it's still has big time flaws like their caw mode, it's still the same crappy one from 07 and making caws is such hard work which I get easily bored of. The new fighting system is ok but it lacks moves for the females, not to mention some new moves would be nice but instead they reanimated the moves which I think they don't need. The 24/7 mode sucks and building up your guys abilities is just hard work as well.

So basically it's a bit mediocre but not as mediocre as 07. I still won't recommend this. Stick to 06, HCTP, SYM and DOR instead

please, just please THQ, go out of business and stop cursing the world with these appaling and offensivley nasty games. also THQ, there are things in games called physics engines, yeah? use them. they kinda make a game fun. Smackdown VS Raw 2008 (and the earlier ones in the series especially) have no physics in the fighting arena and just looks like it was made in a week by a party of intoxicated apes using 20th century graphics and physics technology. Seriously! im not exagerating! AVOID this game as if it were a brain tumour, and every other "game" from those rottern, lazy and greedy "game" developers known as THQ. Wow, this review has made me feel angry... i think i had better go to bed before i hit somebody.

The story lines are poor and they dont last for long. there is long loading waights between fights and when storys are been played out. very poor
