This game definitely oozes nostalgia, and will always remain one of the best Wrestling titles in history. The package came in today and was in perfect shape, manual included. I'm having a blast reliving some of the best times I've ever had with a game. Thank you!

Everything works well until time to load the game up to actually play. Can't seem to get passed the loading screen. Bought it mostly as a collectors item but it would be nice to play also. Only gave it a low score because I'm unable to play it.

SmackDown vs. RAW 2008 marks the debut of WWE games on the PS3 console. The only difference between this game on the PS2 console and this one on the PS3 console are the graphics. Obviously the graphics on the PS3 are better than the PS2 can offer but the gameplay stills the same. There are a bunch of superstars, the entrances are good. The variety of match types and the storyline are acceptable. What I do not like is this mode in which you have to use a wrestler to win all the WWE belts. I do not remember the name of the mode, but anyways, what I do not like is that you can use only one wrestler to complete your way to the top. It does not make sense having Undertaker as Cruiserweight Champion. Besides of that the game is playable and fun. I actually bought this game because it was cheap and for the thing of the graphics which they look awesome on PS3.Read full review
For as long as there have been videogame systems, there have been classic wrestling videogames. The Nintendo Entertainment System had Pro Wrestling, the SEGA Genesis had WWF Royal Rumble, the Nintendo 64 had a string of grappling hits that many believe peaked with WWF No Mercy, and the PlayStation 2 had WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain. Since the release of the Xbox 360 in 2005, the videogame nation has waited for the defining "next-gen" squared-circle title to show up, and THQ and Yuke's are taking another shot at the championship this year with WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009. On paper, it seems like SVR 09 should cruise to wrestling game greatness. The title packs more than 60 wrestlers, 14 one-on-one match types including the new Inferno option, the promise of downloadable content before the holidays, a new story mode, better AI, a focus on tag teams and the ability to save replays and create/share your own Highlights Reels. However, when you get into the punching, grappling, and slamming that make up the game, the world begins to feel like well worn territory. In the end, we have a game that improves on last year's outing in a number of ways but falls short of putting on the five-star bout many were expecting thanks to a noticeably stale feeling.Read full review
As far as the Smackdown series does, I've seen it improve each release. 2008 was a disappointment of sorts. While graphically superior, the PS3 version seems to be merely a port of the PS2 version, lacking the capability to play music stored on the hard drive (which all PS3's have) unlike the XBox 360 version (which may or may not have a hard drive), has less create-a-superstar items and less moves that 2007's release, and an absolutely horribly written story mode that is, in fact, totally unnecessary. Only certain superstars are available in the story, which makes little sense given most of it is text based. Collision detection is a major problem as well, with floating grabs and limbs and heads going through torsos. The training modes were done well, however, and I applaud the training modes. I don't recommend this title if you've played the last two, but it can be fun, given low expectations.Read full review
This game marks the beginning in a new age of wrestling video games. The 24/7 mode in the game is so much fun and it gives you so man options and angles to choose from that make the game so much more interesting. The controls are very easy, but also allow for so much more depth to your move list. Although there could be more legends in the game, it is just enough adding depth to the roster. Then there are the different belts that you can choose in the game, including the Million Dollar Championship. All in all it is well worth the money.
Seems like every year on these Smackdown vs Raw games its the same stuff all the time. The controls in 2008 are still kinda sluggish and slow gameplay. The season mode is alright. But nothing different then in past years. The best wrestling game I tell everyone to buy is Smackdown Here Comes The Pain, Its one of the best wrestling game ever made.
I bought it because the characters of this time are my favorites, I had never played the game and in these quarantine times there is no better time. It is not excellent but it is good and entertaining, I like it.

Im not a big wrestling fan, but i have played all the wrestling games in my PS2. This is the first wrestling game im playing on my PS3. Overall i would say that this game is ok. And also graphics compared to other wrestling games, i dont really see a big difference. I expected the graphics to be better, the graphics are not upto my expectation.
Love the graphics, but dont love the new game controls. For those of us who have been playing since the first Smackdown game, and have been evolving along as the controls change I have to say that I would rather prefer the Sd.vs. RAW 2007 controls. Other than that loving everything else. Enjoy!
