WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008
ORIGINAL SOURCE
The frustration of taking a battering in a wrestling game is like no other. You hammer buttons in an effort to revive your stumbling wrestler while your opponent smacks you in the face. But the pay off is turning the tables and giving them a kicking, and that's what Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 is all about.
The latest men-in-pants brawler from Yukes is brutal. It really is. Your usual selection of body slams and drop kicks are in there, but this time the violence has been beefed up along with the inclusion of a new control system that gives you more visceral control over your wrestler.
Well, that is on PS3 and Xbox 360 - the DS version is a little alternative in style, and the Wii version disappointingly simplified. More on those later. Back to the proper version...
A new 'Superstar Fighting Style' system adds an extra layer of depth to the way you fight. Aside from all the usual moves, each wrestler is capable of brawling with two out of eight fighting styles: technician, submission artist, high flier, dirty, hardcore, brawler, showman, and powerhouse.
You choose which fighting style you want to use at the start of a fight, and this gives you new abilities and moves unique to that style. So, for example, when using a bigger wrestler such as Kane, you might choose to use the powerhouse style, which allows you to break out of holds, and launch your opponent through the air like toys.
On the other hand you might choose to use the dirty fighting style, which sees your wrestler poking opponents in their eyes, or grabbing the ref and using him as a human shield before throwing the unsuspecting official into the opponent.
A high flier is capable of the most athletic moves in the game, bouncing off the ropes into extravagant drop kicks and spectacular top-rope slams that really get you gritting your teeth in satisfaction.
If you fancy using more sadistic face-bashing methods, the new weapons and their applications have also been upgraded. There are poles with barbed wire wrapped around them. Whip that bad boy from under the ring and you can not only swing it at foes but grab your opponent and scrub their faces with it.
You can set tables on fire and smash wrestlers through them or sandwich wrestlers' heads between two chairs and butt-slam onto it, shouting "BAH!" as you do.
The crowd gets stuck in too. Remember the not-too-distant days of stiff, cardboard people with two frames of animation in the background? Gone. Leap out of the ring and walk over to the edge of the arena and you can banter with members of the cheering audience, and even pull off special moves with their help, like taking someone's Coke and throwing it into the eyes of your opponent.

Where you would previously hit a button and watch your wrestler execute a hold, this time, once the hold is triggered, you can move the right analogue stick to alter the pressure applied to the locked limbs.
The more you yank the stick the more your wrestler yanks his opponent's limb - this causes more pain but shortens the length of time you can keep the hold going, and you risk losing grip early.
Your opponent, on the other hand, can choose how much to resist the hold with a similar analogue-pushing system, but this of course also effects how much pain is inflicted. Resist too much and it'll hurt more. That's the gamble.
As you can imagine, this, along with the new fighting styles, will take a while to master. Well, they will on 360 and PS3 at least.
Not on Wii though, simply because none of this is in the Wii version. No, the version of the game coming to Nintendo's console is massively simplified - no fighting styles, no complex grappling system, nothing.
There's not even a 'run' button, which has been in wrestling games for as long as we can remember, having been removed presumably to make the game more 'accessible'.
Unfortunately, 'accessible' converts to 'tirelessly unending Remote waggling', as all the moves in the game are performed by shaking the Remote.

The DS version was a bit of surprise, though. You don't control the wrestlers directly but rather you execute moves by tapping symbols that appear on the top screen. At a point when you can attack three symbols appear that represent attacks of varying difficulty: easy, medium and hard.
You tap a symbol and a two-second touch screen challenge appears, its difficulty dependant upon the symbol you touched. So you might be required to rapidly scratch a slider left and right multiple times in a second, tap a target before it disappears or spin a wheel to quickly fill a metre.
Complete your task and your wrestler pulls off a move, fail and you get the beating instead. Naturally, the tougher the challenge you complete, the more devastating your attack.
Alright, so it's not a proper wrestling game - it plays more like Elite Beat Agents - but it bares the same teeth-gnawing frustration and victory satisfaction. We'll be checking out a more final version of the game with keen eyes.
THQ looks to be determined to raise the bar for the wrestling genre, and with ECW characters thrown into the bulging package, this is the biggest brawler yet. Have a gander at the brand new screens and in-game trailer before you go.
