Game Chronicles Review: Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009

GC writes: "Have you ever wanted to find out what it was like to be WWE Superstar, but you don?t want to get in the ring? SmackDown vs. RAW 2009 for the Wii gives you the chance to do that. I have had past experiences with the original SmackDown series and the SmackDown vs. RAW series, but I would have to say this game tops them all. The game features updated rosters, updated pay-per-view venues, more match types, and tag-team maneuvers, among plenty of other things. All of these items make this the best of the series, in my opinion, and the next title in the series will have to make this game look like an unplayable game to be better.

The interface of the game is similar to the rest of the series. You must strike and grapple your opponent to wear him down. After gaining enough momentum, you are able to use your signatures and finishing moves to give him the pin. The exhibition mode gives you the chance to play all of the match types to see how they work, and your choices of matches that can be used in the Career and Road to WrestleMaina modes. The load times for the game is surprisingly shorter than most of the other games in the series, meaning you can get through matches and the season modes faster. The game also boasts new match types such as; the Money in the Bank Ladder Matches, Hell in a Cell matches, Table matches, the Royal Rumble, and an ECW Extreme Rules Match."
