WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 review for Sony PSP

The gloriously over-the-top world of WWE wrestling comes to the PSP this month, with the release of WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008. The game has had its annual update and it's looking good on it - there are new wrestling superstars and matches, and the update brings more authentic fighting styles to the star players. We think it's worth splashing out on the upgrade, in fact we like this game so much we've awarded it our HGZine Gold Award.

WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 review for Sony PSP
Whether it's more high risk moves, cages matches, blood injuries or more ridiculous storylines (Vince McMahon faking his own death anyone?), the WWE is always pushing the boundaries. Recent versions of SmackDown vs Raw have been doing just that too, and the 2008 version is no different. As well as the addition of ECW superstars and matches, the main new feature for 2008 is that each different wrestler in the game has been designated one of eight different fighting styles – brawler, dirty, hardcore, high-flyer, powerhouse, submission, technical and showman – that dictates the type of moves they'll make. This not only allows each superstar to have more of their specific real-life moves, but it also means that you'll have to adapt your fighting style in order to get the best out of your chosen wrestler – making it more true-to-life.
