In the PS3 version of SvR 2008, it won't let you play online. Not only that, SvR 2008 is the very first game to not feature Chris Benoit since the double-murder suicide back in 2007.
WTF? That is one of the best wrestling games ever, also, was the game that made me a fan of wwe. Best career mode ever, lots of superstars, Hall of Fame, etc
Now everyone spitting on WWE '08 face.
Seriously, i was hoping that this video was going to be good, but nvm.
in the story mode, when i had the title and Stephanie would ask me to give up the title to make the attacks stop, no matter what i said, i would give up the title, causing me to never see the other ending to it.
@PJo336 the horrible thing was noobs online spamming Triple H's high attack or like in every game noob always make high flyers for speed because no one has skill anymore
Will you be covering Day of Reckoning/2, Legends, and RAW for Xbox? Just curious I only played Reckoning 1 & 2 so I don't know how good the other games were.
@JonIsDude So I ask for a quick like which can really help get this channel more viewers, which takes 2 seconds to do, and you can't be bothered? thanks for the encouragement!
@backyardgaming Thanks for releasing the videos anyways even though you didn't get the likes you wanted, mature of you, lame of the people who refuse to like.
Prefer the graphics on this more to SvR09/10 but otherwise this game was shit. Worst of the series. It was actually offensive that they combined GM and Season mode and tried to pass it off as a good thing, when all it meant was you could only play one or the other at a time.
@rugbyleague3wii It was shit "for the wii" Emphasis on "for the wii"! I got it for the wii, that was when I didn't get a PS3, now i only use my wii for fun exclusive like Mario and sonic at the Olympic Games and others. But SVR 2k8 was a shit load of disappointment on wii!
theres one thing that THQ needs to fix that really irritates me.
at 2:26 - 2:37 you can see how on this game when someone looks under the ring for a weapon the match is put on pause til the superstar chooses his weapon. now when someone looks under the ring the match still continues and you can still attack each other. and its irritating when someone goes to look for a weapon and the AI knocks me down because i couldnt even see myself >: |
Terrible game loved your review of it but terrible game do I sense a hint at the end that you'll do a review of Legends of Wrestlemania after 2009? Awesome I was just playing LOWM today.
This was a terrible game. The only good thing about it is that the graphics OWNED the previous SvR's, the Extreme Rules match, and a huge roster of legends. Everything else was just....garbage.
I gotta agree, this one totally blew. It was ok, but overall not as good as those that came before it. It's one of the reasons why I still have my SvR 2006. 2009 was much better.
Slightly better game than 2007, but still very bad. A major problem I had with it was the limited movesets. Which two styles would you give to your Samoa Joe CAW?
But the thing is he have tendencies/moves of Submission, Powerhouse, and a little High-flyer. Same thing with CM Punk, these guys aren't just one or two styles guys.
@NIckoSimpson200 I disagree, I feel 2009 was worse in the sense that it had no legends, and the belt creation was gone if I remember right, among other things. That was as bad, if not worse than this game.
@NIckoSimpson200 Yeah, thats a good point too - I feel that 2009 and 2008 are nearly tied for how low their quality was in terms of content. I mean, 2011 didnt have a LOT but it had enough to keep me satisfied for a while.
@GTAfan421 Yeah. I think 2010 was the best from the last couple of years. But 2008 was the worst and 2009 was just slightly better. And 2011 was good for a lil while
@NIckoSimpson200 I honestly prefer 2011 over 2010 because of the lack of legends (once again) and plus the added physics, as well as improvements to the create a story mode.
@GTAfan421 2011 was a big step forward in wrestling games, it just got boring fast but there were so many good new features. Like WWE Universe and the physics so that means WWE 12 will be the best EVER!
this was the best game OF SMACK DOWN VS RAW
no the others
