Play as All Your Favorite WWE Superstars
A huge roster of superstars are included in the game, drawing from the Raw, Smackddown, ECW, and more. Some of the players include: Ashley, Batista, Chris Jericho, Hardcore Holly, John Cena, Kane, Layla, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels, William Regal, Big Daddy V, Big Show, Edge, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Chavo Guerrero, Finlay, Tazz, and dozens more.

In addition, the Create-a-Superstar returns, letting you customize your own character, play as him through the career mode and become the next superstar. You can also use the new Create-A-Finisher feature to make a unique finishing move by chaining together 10 different animations out of over 500.

New weapons and objects include steel steps, tables, ladders, trash cans, and more. View larger.

Enhanced Tag-Team Matches and Other New Match Types
Tag Team matches are emphasized in Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, and there are many new additions to make the game more realistic and fun. Players can now perform double teams on opponents, such as having one player hold an opponent against the ropes while on the apron, or pulling down on ropes while an opponent is running to send them out of the ring. And there are now different ways of tagging in, such as the forced blind tag and reversible hot tag. Teams also get team-specific finishing moves that are incredibly satisfying to perform.

In addition to tag matches, there are 14 one-on-one match types including the Inferno, Gauntlet, Falls Count Anywhere, Steel Cage and Ladder matches, and even a Backstage Brawl.

Road to Wrestlemania Mode
The single player Road to Wrestlemania mode offers a deep and diverse story line that is filled with brand defections, team building, and strategic alliances. You can choose from Triple H, CM Punk, The Undertaker, John Cena, and Chris Jericho to play in this single-player mode. There is also a story line for co-operative play, in which players control Batista and Rey Mysterio. The story lines are so custom tailored and well done that you might find them more compelling than what you see on television.

Play Online and Download New Content
You can play against friends online in different matches, and this time, voice support has been added so you can trash talk to your heart's content. Additionally, you can also download new content to keep the game fresh.

WWE fans and fighting game fans alike will both love this latest game, giving them a chance to grapple as their favorite superstars.

- These other buttmunches are wrong this game is awesome
I only rented this game but I really liked it. The graphics are almost completely real and the gameplay is great. A few things are wrong such as they took out General Manager mode which I really enjoyed. Some other cons include-

Cons: Road to Wrestlemania is only abot an hour and a half long each
The freakin RETARDS took out GM mode
After all the road to wrestlemanias are over, theres nothing to do
Career mode absolutely sucks

Pros: updated roster
easy unlockables
Create a Finisher rules(I made 3 in 30 min.)
Creating your own superstar gives you a lot of choices

Overall I'd probably give this game 9.9 out of 10. Hope this helped.

- I had a lot of fun with this game.
Overall SvR 2009 is a decent game. The graphics, gameplay and challenge are all good. Not great, but good. Being a fan of customization, I like what this game has to offer... Especially with the new "create-a-finisher" feature. While some bugs still exist, a few from previous versions have been fixed. The wonky targeting system from '08 has been taken out, so you don't constantly attack the referee when he gets too close. The gimmick matches are fun (though ladder-based matches are still a PITA). I also appreciate the emphasis on tag teams, since the previous games in the series didn't really have much focus on those kinds of matches.

I don't like the fact that you can't play custom characters in story mode, but the upside is that the pre-set story featuring established ... Read More

- Same As 08 Except With A Few Additions
Before I begin my review, I never played Smackdown VS Raw until the 2007 release. I then followed up with 2008 and now 2009. From what I've read, the ones before 2007 are the better ones, but I'll be writing my review based on the ones I've played personally.

I'd like to start off by saying I'm quite disappointed in THQ. It seems players who've played SVR07 and SVR08 have submitted feedback about what they'd like to see changed in future releases, but THQ didn't incorporate much from what the customers suggested into 09.

Gameplay feels exactly the same as it did in SVR08. I don't think I've noticed anything different about it. The moves are pretty much the same, all the hotspots are the same, with no new hotspots added. In fact, they removed a few now that you can no ... Read More

- Not quite copy/paste from last year
At this point in the franchise, I'm expecting total suck from any future WWE releases that continue the "Smackdown vs Raw" name.

Since this is basically a slightly improved rehash from last year (and the years before)'s game, I can't criticize it since I've already criticized it in last year's game review of mine.

So I'll point out some improvements and new things:

- Perhaps in response to last year's razor-thin roster, this year has a far greater roster (including love of my life, John Morrison). Story mode is now actually "Story" mode, as it features the perenniel main eventers (John Cena, Triple H, the Undertaker, etcetera) and some IWC favorites (CM Punk, Chris Jericho) and the tagteam of Batista and Rey Mysterio in separate storylines in which you actually ...

- It's all about the game and how you play it...
Despite most of the gripes...I love this game. Why? Quite simple, I get to re-create my customized wrestler that I have made my own since the original Playstation days.
Main reason: John Cena. Creating my alter ego and laying waste to this overhyped and overpayed whimp is a great pastime for myself and my friends. It is a good thing to make a wrestling event the way you the individual would like to see it go as opposed to the very lame storylines the WWE has come up with the last several years. In short, John Cena will never ever win a match on Smackdown vs. Raw 2009.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the champ will never ever be here.
