WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 (PS3/360) IGN Video Review

Credit: IGN.com

8.0 Presentation

The front end is slick and stylized while the match selection tree is a breeze to navigate. The cutscenes are a bore.

8.0 Graphics

They're mostly good. At times, the game is stunning (Randy Orton's turnbuckle RKO), but other times the wacky hair, clipping and Torrie make you cringe.

7.0 Sound

The commentary is stiff and nonsensical, the wrestler voiceovers that are -- in my opinion -- holding the series back are equally as lame, and the crowd isn't into it this year.

7.5 Gameplay

In ring, it's the same blast we've been having for years with great moves and vicious weapons, but the disappointing 24/7 mode, limited roster and same old matches will sour the experience for some.

7.0 Lasting Appeal

Other than money, nothing's going to bring you back to 24/7, and the lack of online chat could hamper the fun (lack of chat on the PS3, not the 360).

Overall Rating: 7.5 (360 version got a 7.8)
