OXM UK: WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2009 Review

OXM UK writes: "The once-popular Smackdown series of wrestling games has become progressively weaker as the years have passed. While the original titles from around a decade ago focused mainly on fast-paced arcade-style action, the more recent offerings have become bogged down trying to be realistic and were much worse for it.

After last year's effort, which was the worst of the lot (we gave it a 5), it looked like the series was set to die a slow and lingering death. Yet this year, we don't know how they've done it, but developer Yuke's has somehow turned everything on its head and produced not only a better game, but one of the best in the series to date."

Good comparison, they've got worse with age.

Many of the old animations look better than the new ones especially the Sweet Chin Music and Goldberg's spear. The 2K14 Clothesline from Hell looks awesome though.
