WorthPlaying Review - 'WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009'

WP: "Last year, Nintendo fans were waiting with bated breath for the arrival of WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 for the Nintendo Wii. For them, the arrival of the game meant that Nintendo was finally getting the best of the WWE video game offerings instead of just spin-offs like the GameCube received. It also meant that wrestling games on the Nintendo console could be fun again, thanks to the motion control scheme and a host of features they haven't seen since the wrestling heyday of the Nintendo 64. When the game finally arrived, however, the excitement quickly turned to disappointment. The graphics and the sound were no better than the PS2 counterpart. The control scheme was rather awkward to use and not as inviting as the old controller schemes. Worse yet, there were fewer modes than in the PS2 version of the same game. Saddened by the turn of events, Nintendo fans rejected WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008, hoping something better would come along in a future wrestling title. After being burned by the 2008 iteration and not finding any solace in TNA iMPACT!, Nintendo fans finally have a wrestling game that they aren't going to be ashamed about with WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009."

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.
