Gaming Nexus: WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 Review

Gaming Nexus writes: "Wrestling has been a part of videogames for a long time and like other sports games (ok loosely applied in this case) its major revolution in game play came from the shift from 2D to 3D. The N64 and the PlayStation saw many great, and some not so great, wrestling titles in their days and every year several titles come out for multiple systems. The genre obviously has an audience that knows what it likes because aside from improvements made over the years the basic control scheme for many wrestling games have been very consistent. So rather than pick apart the basics lets go ahead and dive into what makes SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 unique.

Features that allow the player to make their own wrestler and customize every single part of the move sets and even create their own finisher will give some players hours of tweaking and turning to create their own unique wrestler or recreate legends from the past. This creative control goes even deeper with the ability to record and then edit wrestling matches by adding sound effects, changing the filter, adding stickers, or just cutting out all the embarrassing stuff like your wrestler being thrown from the top of the ladder during a ladder match. Of course me favorite is the create a finisher which was so intuitive and relatively simple and had a feature where you could give the move one of 30 plus names that the announcers would actually call out when you performed it."

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.
