THQ 2007 WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2008 Featuring ECW (Xbox 360)

Description: A critically acclaimed addition to a critically acclaimed franchise, WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 for the Xbox 360 (as well as the PS3) introduced a whole range of new features for fans of top-notch wrestling games. The WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw series has long set the standard for wrestling video games, consistently upping the ante to lead the industry in the areas of gameplay, visuals, and technical superiority. Developed by Yuke’s and Amaze Entertainment for publisher THQ, WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 was the first game in the series to be released for all seventh generation game consoles. In addition to the Microsoft Xbox 360, WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 was available for the Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation 3 (PS3), Nintendo Wii (with Wii U compatibility), and, as a testament to its popular appeal, even handheld systems like the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS (with 3DS compatibility). Among the improvements over previous installments to the franchise are the game’s fighting styles. Classifying wrestlers into categories, each has access to type-specific abilities, which adds another layer of complexity to the gameplay. The fighting styles included are Powerhouse, Showman, Hardcore, Dirty, Brawler, High-Flyer, Submission, and Technical. Powerhouse wrestlers like Batista are able to break pins with a single button press, execute devastating moves like the Hammer Throw, and activate Rampage mode when their energy meter is maxed out. This special ability makes it impossible for opponents to break out of grapple moves and also makes them completely impervious to strikes. Highlights of the other fighting styles include imitating opponents as the Showman, sitting on a pinned opponent to bash them on the head as the Brawler, and executing eye pokes and low blows to the torso as a Dirty wrestler. WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 also features a roster of new wrestlers, extreme rules, and other hardcore features from ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling). ECW superstar characters included in the game are Tommy Dreamer, CM Punk, Elijah Burke, and Kelly Kelly. Weapons are collected from under the ring or via a ladder from high above it, with a new weapon wheel system having been introduced to aid in switching between the various weapon options. These include classic favorites like folding tables and chairs and 2x4s wrapped with barbed wire with the spectacular new ability to set them on fire. Other superstar wrestlers not available in previous games but introduced as playable characters in WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 include Cryme Tyme, MVP, Ashley, Kenny Dykstra, Marcus Cor Von, Sandman, and Sabu, with Michelle McCool making a comeback after her first appearance in WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006. The character customization mode allows players to create new wrestlers from scratch and, exclusively on the Xbox 360, even add custom soundtracks to their character’s custom entrance. WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 for the Xbox 360 has been praised for its stunning visual effects, including realistic lighting and crowds, as well as its smooth and consistent frame rate. A story mode features aggressive voicemails from rivals, cut scenes, and backstage interactions along with statistics and achievements for the season. Wrestlers also grow their popularity rating by pursuing ventures outside of the ring, such as film roles, interviews, and autograph signings. Carrying the torch of this franchise’s reputation from its late 2007 release date, WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 for the Xbox 360 adds its own improvements and makes for a fun and replayable gaming experience.
