INTRODUCTION

The gaming realm welcomed another contender to the ring in 2008 with the WWE Smackdown vs. RAW series unveiling its 2008 edition. This version made waves by being the first to feature the ECW Extremists such as The Sandman, Marcus Cor Von, and CM Punk. But that’s not all, folks—read on for a ringside view of what makes this game a slam-dunk—or should we say, a body slam?

WRESTLERS GALORE

The 2008 edition broke new ground by being the first in the series to feature ECW Extremists, bringing a fresh flavor to the game. You could choose iconic characters like The Sandman, Marcus Cor Von, and CM Punk to bring some hardcore action into the mix. To add to the excitement, legendary superstars like Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Ric Flair were also at your disposal. Interestingly, the game’s roster varies based on the gaming platform you’re using, making it an ever-evolving ensemble of wrestling greats. Imagine having a wrestling squad with platform exclusivity! Talk about a Royal Rumble of options!

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF THE FIGHT

The 2008 edition wasn’t just content with adding new faces; it revamped the entire fighting experience. With eight unique superstar fighting styles, including Showman, Powerhouse, High-Flyer, and more, players could choose primary and secondary fighting styles to strategize their way to victory. It also excited the wrestling universe by introducing new arenas like Wrestlemania 23, Unforgiven, and Summerslam. So, whether you’re an aerial daredevil or a ground-and-pound type, you’ve got options, baby!

BRINGING REALISM TO YOUR FINGERTIPS

Say goodbye to mundane gameplay—this edition introduced a brand-new struggle submission system to simulate real-life wrestling moves. The wrestling ring also became a musician’s paradise with the addition of weapon options like guitars. Yes, guitars! Strum your way to victory or drop a beat-down on your opponent. It’s wrestling at its most lyrical.

CONTROL YOUR DESTINY

Choose your path as a rising star, an established wrestler, or even a manager in WWE 24/7 mode. This was made available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, combining the features of previous’ season’ and ‘general manager’ modes. Wii players weren’t left in the dust either, as the Wii version features Main Event mode. The only hitch? You can’t control the wrestlers on your roster in this mode. That’s like having a royal flush but being unable to show it off!

TOURNAMENT MADNESS

Tournament junkies, rejoice! A spanking new Tournament mode was rolled out with an array of match types like Iron Man, Battle Royal, Hell in a Cell, and many more. Wii players had five different match types, including Single, Tag Team, K.O. Match, Triple Threat, and Hardcore. The Wii edition did not feature the WWE Shop and had a limited move set, but it made up for that by offering motion-sensing attacks and Mii integration.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

Console preferences matter, especially when it comes to entrance music and viewpoints. Xbox 360 users could personalize their entrance music, making their wrestling superstar entrance as extra as they wanted. Meanwhile, PS3 users could enjoy a first-person view during the identical entrance sequences. Both these platforms also had an edge over others with their exclusive online multiplayer options.

So there you have it! Whether you’re a die-hard wrestling fan or a casual gamer, the 2008 edition of the game (which we promised only to mention five times) offers something for everyone. It’s a grappling, slamming, strumming, and even managing experience that lets you be the superstar you were born to be!
