WWE returns for another go on the consoles and I have to say I am rather impressed. Tag Teams were this years focus. Hot tag adds some variety in the tag divistion and could help you if you got more than you could handle. They also gave the person on the apron more to do. You could hold enemies for your partner and other variouse actions. So, tag teams were a success this year. I have always liked how they put the actual enterance videos and music for superstars. Everytime I see and hear Orton's music and video, it gets me pumped. I also really enjoyed the depth of the character customization. It takes me hours to scroll through all of the features you can add. Create an entrance and move-set are the same as in recent years with some minor changes. The new create a finisher is awsome. This is a great addition to the series. The only problem I have with it is it lacks depth. But, this was their first year testing it out so heres to more depth in '10. I think the road to wrestlemania was par. It's just not the same as career mode. I loved using my CAS and running a rampage in the WWE. I know career is still in the game but road to wrestlemania was a little let down for me. Plus, I felt they could have added more people to the road. What, Orton's not good enough? Inferno matches are pretty cool. I found it quite entertaining and something new to the line-up. DLC was the worst part for me. I felt pretty bad when PS3 owner's got DLC months before we got our first roster update that is really outdated. Online and tournies were the same as last year so not much to talk about their. Well, thats all I have to say about that. WWE remains top of the wrestling genre. Give it a look if your into wrestling.

smack down vs raw 2009

THE BEST ONE BY FAR! NEW ROSTER! NEW MATCHES! ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA! AND MOST OF ALL CREATE-A-FINISHER!

This game really does kick a**, if you wanna make create-a-wrestler check out caws.ws, theres lots on there and also gives ya move-set, finisher, entrance and also the wrestler it self (i use christian).

The smackdown games get better every year, cant wait for the next one, i miss bobby lashley wont be on the next one cry but gonna RANDY AWESOME ORTON.

I issue a challenge to any one whom thinks they are big and clever warning,, got 3 words

JUST BRING IT dance
