When you go home from a long, bad day at work or school all you want to do is to plunk down on a comfy couch and beat the hell out of people, man to man, skin against skin, all sweaty and raw in video game wrestling. THQ and JAKKS Pacific, Inc. understand your need and only yesterday announced that they'll be bringing WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 for multiple gaming platforms.

Yes, sirree, the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw franchise will be debuting on the Wii, the DS and the PS2 consoles, as well as being developed for the Xbox 360, PS3, and the PSP. This marks the WWE franchise's largest cross-platform market launch. Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 comes out fall.

What to expect from this 2008 version of the market-leading wrestling franchise? There's a debut of Superstar Fighting Styles, featuring eight unique styles, each having its own strategy and exclusive attributes. There's a new Struggle Submission System that will make use of the game's analog controls. You may now control the amount of pressure you apply to your opponents.

In addition to the above-mentioned gameplay details, the game also features a significant Extreme Championship Wrestling presences, with a variety of Superstars, arenas and weapons.

Honestly, this series has got to be the best wrestling experience out there. Last year's switch to the analogue stick for controls really improved the game, however, they still had horrible collision detection, something they really need to fix. Also, the load times on the PS2/PSP systems were retardedly long! Not to mention they stripped down the create a character mode to a point where it wasn't any fun to make a character.

I'm partial to the Firepro series. That game has everything and then some. You should try it out sometime.

05 was ok till andre headbutted u in the back of the head over and over online :|, 06 was the best with the best create a person system i ever saw and online was ok...till ppl started to hack :|...and it had many glitches and cheap moves (online or offline)... course you can trade anybody u see online, 07 was a crappy update for ps2 owners... the caw system was f*cked up, entrance creation was great....online became F*cked up (couldnt see anybody online till u joined there room, tradeing became a b*tch, and still only 4 player matches)... new way of playing wasnt realy needed....they still left cheap moves on 360 & ps2 (headbutt, back headbutt, ect.)... and imo story mode amd gm mode dont even need to be on there...their just annoying.

# my favourite genre — Guest 2007-03-31 11:41

but not my favourite game for the PSP. Just the loading times are so booooring... Some improvements the overvalued game needs:

- infrastructure mode, to compete against other on the Internet. This really is the most important thing you could do mates of THQ. Please concentrate on this.

- more realistic pain. we should definitely see some realistic reaction when crashing an opponent. See "Def Jam FFNY" for details.

- obtain the finishing move should be definitely more difficult. and more.

- better loading times, please. I don't understand why Def Jam is so fast and great graphics while yours are ridicolous

- add one level. The standard higher level is too easy. Yes we could improve AI in the option, but better you to make this work, because it's boring and we don't know how much do this before the opponent is unbeatable.

- add tournament mode. I know real wwe doesn't have them but I don't care.

- story mode for women (don't be sexist, come on!)

- blood for women (come on.)

- more realistic bleeding
