With the 4th installment of the series Smackdown celebrates vs. Raw debut on the Playstation 3. For wrestling fans or for people who SmackDown vs. Raw 06.05.2007 have / had, certainly a must. But also for people who want to try something new no wrong decision. First, I will comment on the graphics. Meanwhile, there are, of course, games with much better graphics, but it's ok (Smackdown vs Raw 2009 has indeed not "much" better graphics). The gameplay was taken from 2007 and significantly revised, or even improved. The roster is a bit outdated, but it happens to be in the WWE. There, too, will change the roster! To get to the game modes: Play a game of course is nothing else like: You select from a superstar and an enemy, and there you go - 1 against 1. Exhibition: You choose the type of battle (according to whether more or fewer people to play), selects the wrestler, select the arena, etc. Here, the martial arts were a little overworked, unfortunately there is no more Referee mode, in which you could play referee, it was actually quite funny, but very very simple :) Game Mode: Either 24/7 (Story Mode), Hall of Fame, Tournament, WWE Shop. Here, the Hall of Fame mode was introduced, in which you can re-enact the best matches of the WWE. The story mode has been revised, but in my opinion for the worse, in SvR 2007 he has been much better. Tournament knows you, and the WWE shop is for free buy different superstars such as The Rock, Mr. McMahon, etc. The online mode has not yet been tested by me, but I can tell from online mode SVR 2009 game. Once done, never done. It rucktelt etc. Not good at all. So if you want to choose between SmackDown vs. Raw 2008/2009, here the most common differences: Graphic in the 2009 (maybe) a little better, but not really clearly visible -When the 2008 you can still fight for the audience, that is, there is an area outside the black barriers, where you can then deal with things, so there is no longer the 2009er -The Gameplay remains the same, but there is at the 2009 "Signature Moves", ie moves that has a certain superstar as a "trademark". In the 2008, however, there is "Save Finisher" function -The Story mode is in the 2008 in my opinion, better than the 2009. During the 2009 but there is the "Road to Wrestlemania" mode, which is sending you very well implemented. -The Roster is of course different. Who it does not matter is whether there is to play newly added, or more updated superstars can of course easily pick up the 2008er, who but a more updated roster will, the needs, the 2009, in which you can buy by the way Roster Updates (for 3.99) , -Realistisch Seen, so if the fight as well as possible with reality can be compared (in WWE) because SVR 2009 advantage. The 2009 is much more realistic, but that does not mean better. I like this realistic, but I also sometimes feel like something is not realistic, because the 2008 has the advantage. In the end, one can only argue which one is better, everyone has to be aware themselves. But pricewise both games are indeed quite liked. As you can both at Amazon Buy cheaper than you would a new game COME OUT buy in a Eltrofachhandel ... All in all: Gelunges debut on PlayStation 3!
