Smackdown vs Raw 2009

Played the demo for 5 minutes and turned it off. The controls are so dated now its not even funny.

Compared to what?

Compared to what?

The N64 wrestling games had better controls.

I'll be getting this tomorrow.

Looking forward to it.

It feels a load nicer than the old smackdown games... a lot more to do, the whole new career seems cool to. Think i'll be picking this up!

 

[Soulja]

i'll be giving this ago later after hearing a lot of good things about it.

Is there not a 360 demo out?

Should be seeing as how there is a PS3 demo.

Looking around, it seems there is only a PS3 demo.

Which is excellent btw, much better than the last few years attempts.

 

[GreenMint]

Think the demo is only PS3 this year, as last years was 360 only? Thats one of the things floating around anyways.

 

[Viper²]

Great game. Love it already and I've only done exhibition matches.

 

[Soulja]

finished undertakers road to wrestlemania yesterday and it seems decent so far. Hopefully start career mode tonight.

 

[sunlitsix]

hmm i could do with a 360 demo really, but is it much different than 2008?

 

[Hostile_18]

Just came in post today, going to give it a test run right now

 

[Viper²]

It's as different as it can be I guess. They have added new characters/moves/matches, etc. It's understandable how limited it is changing a Wrestling game every year. It's easier than 2008 though I think. My first match was a Royal Rumble with HHH. I came in at number 2 and won it on Normal difficulty.

 

[Hostile_18]

Aye Normal difficulty is far to easy, my first match after playing the demo and the computer didn't stand a chance. Theres a Hard and a Hardcore difficulty as well though so no problem.

I'm loving the game so far. My main beef with 2007 was that who ever got the finisher first won but not so now and the match plays out much more realistically.

Only negative so far would be that the characters could do with some more AA as they come into the ring (at least on the ps3 version).

Has anyone got the PS3 only collectors edition? It comes with a BD with 2.5 hrs of wrestling and making of documentry all in Hd i think, and a Wrestling ring case. Just wondering if the BD video is any good and what it has on it?

 

[Soulja]

does anyone know what the secret achievements are?
