Hi my name is Andrew and I'm here reviewing Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 featuring ECW. I'm reviewing this game for Expo TV.com. This game is rated T for Teen and it is also available for the PlayStation 3 PlayStation 2 Wii Sony PSP and the Nintendo Dual Screen DS. All right let's start with this game. It's a wrestling game. It's the newest one out right now. There are many different moves such as all right let me talk about the modes. There's WWE 24 There's General Manager mode where you get to choose which general manager you wanna be for which show you like the best so either Smackdown RAW or ECW and basically you get to decide what you wanna do and what you wanna do with your program. Such as every other WWE game there's an Exhibition mode which you get to play any different type of match you want to. All right you know what? Why don't we get to gameplay here? We can talk about the match types. There's One on One Two on Two Triple Threat anything you want There's the Buried Alive match. As you can see a list right here Hardcore Hell in a Cell Ladder match any type of match that is featured on the WWE program you can play. All right I'm gonna do a One on One match and I'm gonna do a Hardcore match 'coz that's my personal favorite. Now the game is up to four players and as you can see here you can choose any WWE wrestler that you wanna be. Not necessarily every WWE wrestler is in this game but you have a big variety of different wrestlers. Now I'm gonna pick my personal favorite wrestler on the roster is Sandman and I'll have him versus a favorite Shawn Michaels. Now there's many different arenas also and venues you can play but I'm gonna be playing in the ECW venue. While it loads I'll talk about the Online mode. There's an Online mode where you get to play with your friends but there's one bad thing about it: it lags and it's bad. Also while it's loading let me talk about the Create modes. You can create your own characters you can create belts and you can even create your own entrances for your characters. As you can see the graphics in this game are just amazing especially on a high definition screen and this is an intro for the Sandman. All right let me skip that. Loading times are all right in this game you know. Also if you're really into wrestling games there's another wrestling game coming out called TNA Impact so usually WWE is the only wrestling game in the market but just if you're really into wrestling that game is coming out also but let's get back to this review. This is Shawn Michaels' entrance. As you can see the character looks exactly like the wrestler. You can do whatever you want. All right every loading screen you know shows the wrestler and basically some information about them so you can know them a little bit more you know career highlights or championships they won. All right the Sandman. As you can see it's a lot fun. I'm playing a Hardcore match meaning weapons can be used. All right I'm gonna go out of the ring and use a move. There are many different moves in this game and I'm using a weapon right now as the Sandman. It's a lot of fun. All right maybe I'll show you some grab moves. All right some grabs. You can do many different things. You can take weapons. All right let me go on the top rope. As you can see you could do many different things that wrestlers do on television. It's very very realistic very lifelike and I think I've discussed everything that you need to know about this game. It's about $60.00 right now at every retailer and if you're a WWE fan you have to get this game. It's a lot of fun. It's out for many different consoles including the 360 as I mentioned before and that's about it. That's been my review for WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008. Thank you.
