Not the best, But Pretty Darn Good =)

By mr_elmo (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

A laughably scripted, poorly voiced WWE campaign. Instead, created characters (as well as most of the rest of the roster) can be guided through a cut-scene-free career mode. Instead of making decisions about who to team up with, or which Diva to choose...

Graphics, Grapple Holds/Moves, Superstar Season

WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2009 (Xbox 360) review

By NowGamer ArchiveBot (nowgamer.com)

Award: Kids Choice

The brand that keeps on giving

Along with the redefined tag team matches, Road To Wrestlemania and create-a-finisher, the multiple tweaks and touches make this the best SmackDown for a while.

WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 (THQ)

By (goodgearguide.com.au)

Excellent story modes, huge list of match types, online support ; tag team A.I. is dramatically improved

Monotonous Career mode, wrestlers of different heights animate poorly against each other ; overall game very similar to SvR 2008

Although it still has some flaws, Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 is a solid helping of great wrestling action.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009

By Steve Berman (gamespy.com)

THQ's pro wrestling franchise tries to put the entertainment back into sports entertainment.

Storylines far more engaging; impressive graphics throughout; simplified controls increase fluidity of gameplay

Cameras sometimes lose the action; some collision detection and clipping issues; announcing is generic and repetitive

WWE Smackdown! vs. RAW 2009

By (kombo.com)

In the year 2000, wrestling fans in North America had a venerable cornucopia of games to choose from. While WCW was making sub par efforts after THQ bought the rights to the World Wrestling Federation, there were two games that came out that ended one...

WWF No Mercy for the Nintendo 64 has been touted as the best wrestling game to be released in the United States by many, but the other game that came out that year for the PlayStation, WWF SmackDown!, started THQ down a road to success that they have...

WWE Smackdown! vs. Raw 2009 Review (Xbox 360)

By (operationsports.com)

The SmackDown series has been around for about as long as WWE Superstar Edge. In that time, he has been on the bottom as a member of the Brood; he has won the tag-team titles multiple times; dropped Christian and worked himself up to Intercontinental...

In-ring action as good as ever. Road to Wrestlemania mode is worth the time. Significantly decreased loading times

Same tired gameplay. Exhibition match commentary. Career mode is a throwaway

Can you say the SmackDown series has been as successful? Well, read the review to find out if SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 is the current title holder. In The Ring To be blunt, the gameplay is largely the same. If you played last year’s game you will be able...

WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2009 Xbox 360 Review

By Avi Krebs (gamingexcellence.com)

The year of redemption for this long-serving franchise.

Despite numerous opportunities to mix things up, THQ has again kept the status quo in terms of graphics, gameplay, and the like., In short, if you've played even a tiny bit of any of the more recent SvR's, or even the those under the former Smackdown...

Leave it to the fine folks at THQ to listen to "the people" and turn around with a respectable amount of new features, keeping Midway's grappler at bay, but also giving Smackdown and WWE fans worldwide a treat that will curb the anticipation for...
