WWE Smackdown! vs. Raw 2009 Videos

one thing i hope they fix in the actual game is the reversal system. when playing, (especially against another player) there are just too many reversals. it dont matter what the persons Technique rating is. its just one reversal after another and i hate that.
especially when im faceing someone good like my brother or even the cpu, i can never do any strong grapples. my offense is just strikes, quick grapples, and turnbuckle moves. i hate that.

u playing vs cpu or a real person?
Played the demo a few times now, it's interesting but I'll be waiting for impressions/reviews before deciding. You do have to just destroy the CPU to get a pinfall from what I've seen so far. Haven't played a smackdown game in a couple years and was starting to get excited about this one but if it's going to take atleast 3 or 4 finishers to win a match that'll be pretty disappointing.
Got the wrestling bug again for some reason, was a diehard fan when I was growing up back in the 90's and early 2000 but stopped watching completely a few years ago. Now I'm kind of interested again but there's just way to many guys I don't know and look like complete scrubs but their in main story lines and fighting for belts. What the hell is a Miz and why are he and John Morrison fighting DX tomorrow is that the dude from real world road rules...WTF!! Might try and catch RAW tomorrow hoping that'll be a big episode and catch me up on who some of these dudes are.

Cool thanks for the rundown, man it's like WWE just fell off a cliff since it's glory days, ex olympians and football players back in the day and now it's a bunch of jokers from reality shows or guys that have been around since I first started watching. I shouldn't really mock it since I haven't really watched it in a couple years(so I really don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to anyone who started after 2002 or so) but I think there was a reason I stopped watching.
I actually enjoyed this. The arguing with the ref is completely horrible though. It goes to some sort of cutscene, the crowd cuts out and you hear the ref clearly. Who in their right mind thought this was good?

I don't know about the others, but the arguing is beyond stupid.
They kick out, and while you're getting up, if you press triangle the screen cuts, repositions you in a way that you weren't when you hit the triangle, has you get up and start complaining to the ref.
It looks so terrible and out of place in the game.

The Smackdown series has declined so much since the PS2 days, I just don't understand.
Last year they took out manual switching and I just read they didn't bring it back but improved the automatic one? WTH? Why even take that out. If I want to focus on someone else, I should be able to and not have the AI dictate when is the best time to focus.
Argh, it's times like this that I wish I had Gamefly! I've had the past to SDVRs for 360 and while they ultimately fall flat, I do like me a wrasslin' game to play when I need a break from sports gaming. I wonder if online will be better, as I rarely had a good experience (mostly laggy) in the past...

I absolutely love the way signature moves/finishers work. Was '08 like that? Or is that new to '09?
I may pick up '08 then for cheap if they have the same implementation.

I'd read up some more and get others thoughts before pulling the trigger on 08. If you have a 360, I'd suggest 07 instead-bigger roster and better gameplay. I'll even say that the PS2 version for 07 was better than next gen 08.
Thanks, coffee.
Maybe I'll do that. I'm not as big a wrestling fan as I once was... nowhere close, actually, but a good game is a good game.
Maybe I'll see if I can pick up '09 used in a few months. I just really like the fact that you have to set up your finisher with a sig move first. Really adds to the pacing of a real wrestling match you'd see on TV.
I know one of the complaints for this series has always been the lack of strength by the finishers... I think that's a fair assessment here as well. However... I recall the SDvR series having the ability to configure how quickly the move bar fills up... and if you set t his year's copy on the slowest then I think you could really have some fun with this game.
Some of the move decisions always have me scratching my head. Shawn Michael's fig. 4 leglock finisher is laughable. He puts it on, humps the air once and then it's over. It's a completely joke.
Why not make it interactive? Have the wrestler's screaming, trying to get to the ropes... pounding the mat. You know, like an actual submission maneuver. Strange concept, I know.

Oh, ok I didnt touch online w\ SVR2008.....but I thought you could play w\ modified characters....could be wrong....
From the 30 minutes I put in the game I have really enjoyed it...I dont think my standards are as high when it comes to wrestling games though so some may disagree...
I dont expect a "sim" wrestling match, and I feel like well probably NEVER get that in a wrestling game lol
The biggest thing that stands out to me so far is the lack of clipping that was in 08.....ill be back w\ more impressions, i havent been able to play as much as I wanted to..
