Smackdown vs Raw 2008

GAME TITLE: Smackdown vs Raw 2008
Graphics: 9
Gameplay: 8.5
Online Play: Have not tried
Single Player Mode: 10

Overall this is a great comeback game for wrestling fans. Lots of current stars and whats nice is that you can unlock Legends such as (WWF - Ravishing Rick Rude - Roudy Roudy Pipper - Owen Heart - Bret Heart - The Rock - Stone Cold Steve Austin - Mick Foley - Shane and Vince McMahn.....Even offers some old skool ECW - Sabu - Sandman - Tommy Dreamer - Terry Funk.....will post complete roster if i find it online. Graphis are crazy, almost like NBA 2K8 graphics but in the squred circle. DL the demo to get a good feel for the game - gameplay and graphics. Gameplay is nice and the controlls are alot better then in the past and easy to figure out. Rated it a 8.5 due to the fact (if you played Wrestlmaina 2000 - No Mercy or WCW vs NWO you will know what i'm talkin about) that you can't change who your looking at (atleast i have not figured it out) which will make it a little hard to attack or grapple the other guy. Sometimes in a tag match you end up hitting your partner. Also tricky to tag in and out during a tag match. Only way i have done it is to whip ur opponent into the corner and do a double team move. Story mode is awesome, start from the bottom and work your way up the ladder, lots of twist and turns so who knows the number of ways this could play out. Has every type of match you can think of, Ladder - Table - Cage - hell in a cell - 1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 on 3, battle royals, 6 man battle royals (all in at same time, could be cool online if there is no lag, will try it out and report back)

Whats also cool is that not only can you block a attack or grapple but you can now change moves in mid air, if you have a guy in the air for a suplex you can hit (up, down, left, right) on the Right Analog to change the type of slam you will preform, if your on defence you are able to reverse the move and come down with a vicious DDT or slam of your own. Fight in the ring, in the crowd, parking lot.........choise is yours.

As far as Wrestling games go for 360 i would rate this one a 9 overall. Supports up to 4 controllers so cool if you got several people over and replay on this should be in high demand due to long story mode and multiple match types

Yo Danza make sure you dont miss Raw tonight!! It's gonna be epic! This will be the first Raw I've watched in years!

I heard its some sort of 15yr or 10yr annivesary show or something. Will watch it or record it depending on whats happening. 3 hours of Raw is brutal so it best be good.

Tonight @ 9CST on A&E is also the premire of a new show called Paranormal State. About Ghost hunters and that kind of crazy stuff, not sure if anyone else finds this stuff interesting but i know i can recall a few times where i could have swore i wasn't alone
