Evil Avatar: WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 Review

Evil Avatar writes: "Yukes has been refining it's men-in-tights fighting game for years now. With WWE's popularity on the slide how have they kept the game interesting?

The latest in a consistently good but not great wrestling series and the third "next-gen" iteration Smackdown vs Raw 2009 makes the same promises as each of it's predecessors have. More wrestlers, more moves, more match types and more fun. The game delivers but it's a very similar experience that will leave you wondering why you the spent hard-earned cash. Unfortunately, the game is a bland experience that takes no advantage of it's virtual setting. That it unless you push past the stuffy story mode."

The Good

* Most complete moveset yet.
* Most complete set of matches yet.
* Backstage areas make a limited return.

The Bad

* No real game changing moves.
* Not every match type is here.
* Not nearly as crazy as it should be.

The Ugly

* Disgustingly bad network code.
