After a decade of sequels, the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw franchise has always done things differently on a yearly basis, for better or for worse. Features in, features out, better presentation, more customization, improved online performance and a roster that tries to keep as current as possible given the topsy-turvy nature of WWE as a business, and the stage is set for the newest 'improvement'; WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009. But how do the updated features stack up a tenth time around in what is consistently one of the best-selling gaming franchises of all time?"
