svr 08 a game that feels diferent but it's still good
Svr 08 intro is quite good and has a good presentation, and when you go to play now, it will be shocking as a lot of reviewers allready know that it only has 5 matches(one of the bad points) and the other one( only the steel chair can be used as a weapon) even sandman holds a kendo stick and finlay with a shileighleigh, you can't use them and thats all the bad points.
By the way, the 5 matches are single, tag, triple threat, hardcore and ko match( just describe the hardcore as a steel chair match).
Now the good points. The graphics are quite decent, the sounds are quite good, at the menu, picking characters and entrance. the entrance still looks good and very very amusing, gameplay ( the best part) is the part that makes the wii version became better than any other versions, even at entrances, it's actually fun mimicing the entrances, and it really works verry well, especially the dx taunt, the sweet chin music, knucke shuffle, con - chair - to, all the taunts, and it is very awesome to play and the actually gives a feeling that it gives an arcade gameplay than a crappy undescribale gameplay through the other versions of the game, it also gives a feel more like a WWE version of Tekken or Soul Calibur or any fighting games than a confusing gameplay on the other versions, and every movement works and it's easier to play than the other versions, also d-x is in the game and it plays smooth, all the stables are in there and you don't need to buy them to unlock them and it's easier to unlock things, and oh almost forgot, the Main Event Mode,it's not a snooze, it's awesome compared to 24/7 mode, it plays legendary and it it seriously miles better than the 24/7 mode as you decide what matches you want, you can keep going to the same pay per view you want, it has a power 25, as many people might think (including this website) that you face the same 3 people all the time, that part is only at the 'jobber' state, once your popularity increases, you can book your own matches against any roster in raw, smackdown or ecw(if you're on all 3 brands) get some tag team partners and get valets (press the 'z' button), you can have more titles in main event mode, you can rest (the rest of the versions does not have this option) and can switch brands and be on all 3 brands. Overall, it's still worth buying it and what ever letdowns it had, the gameplay raises the bar from dull to nearly awesome!! again, the movements work very well and still can use the announcer tables, but svr 08 for the Wii is better than the rest of the other versions when it comes to gameplay and innovation, but I have to admit this version will lose when it comes to value, but it's still overally good .
Good/ +
Good graphics
Legendary gameplay
Good sounds
Has good value
a wrestling game that you can actually act
Main Event Mode is better than 24/7 mode
It still has extras like the K.O.R and beat the clock sprint
A wrestling game that changes gameplay for boring to legend
Has 4 player
A lot of roster improvement from Day of Reckoning
easy to create player
Most wrestlers got the rightly deserved overalls!!!
One of the only versions that has never been a downer port of svr 07
Bad/ -
Only has 5 matches but anyway, the rest of the match won't really work
Lack of weapons
Lack of creates
Legends, divas, rey and cm punk and hbk should have a higher overall
If only you can create belts
Hulk hogan is not in the game
Rey Mysterio is overally under-rated, he should be 93
Day of reckoning 2 has more matches and better graphics than this.
