Dude that ending will haunt me for years!
Ikr wtf is that
LOL now I kinda hate him because I actually like that damn song!!! F my life lol! 😂😂😂😂
lol yeah xD
Nightmare Fuel it's off hulk hogan's album with The Wrestling Boot Traveling Band or something like that
Of all the songs to use lol
Honestly not having RVD , Benoit , Benjamin , Haas , London & Kendrick , Boogeyman etc is what made the game feel weak cause of the lackluster roster
The Legendary Thwagger Thwaggy Benoit is understandable but the others not so much
Benoit couldn’t make it. He had something to do..
Even the legends roster is barebones
Not even D&D appear and they were the Champs
Also big show, test, hardore holly, mike knox, matt striker, kevin thorn, ariel and more ecw wrestlers like Balls Mahoney and the fbi
To be honest. This is by far the best game i've ever played in the WWE games franchise. It's not that bad. If you dissagree, i respect that.
Just Michael I DELETE PEOPLE YOU DONT TELL ME ABOUT WHO TO DELETE!!!!!
ᏴᎾᎡᎬᎠᏩᎪᎷᎬᎡᎻᎠ ewww
This was the worst one lmao
This was by far the worst game ever.
2009 is the worst
In 2007-08, my best friend Christian and I were enamoured with wrestling. Not only would we wrestle in the school playground, but he would also come over to my house every Monday evening to watch Raw. The first time we did this was undoubtedly the most memorable as after the first ad break, the inevitable PSA warning us not to imitate the wrestlers reared its head. ‘Don’t try this at home…’ said Randy Orton in this segment. Christian and I didn’t bat an eye. ‘Or school!’ Orton finished. At that point, we slowly turned towards each other in horror! How on earth did Randy Orton know that we were imitating WWE superstars at school! We were totally going to get RKOed in our sleep as punishment!
Not a bad game, but the roster was worse with tons of people not making the cut, season mode wasn't good, and overall the flash and charm from 2007 wasn't there. SERIOUSLY, Look at 2007's main menu and then look at THIS GAMES LIKE WHAT
AcePlays the good thing about the roster that it had Jeff hardy and cm punk
AcePlays Yeah, it wasn't bad. It was terrible. Horrible. AWFUL. This was simply the worst game in the Smackdown VS Raw series.
AcePlays yes people like rvd and shelton Benjamin did not make the cut
AcePlays but this game is still good , music awesome , roster lacking some wrestlers but has good wrestlers and divas in this game the main menu is the same as the previous game just different style
Onuora Ezeh no it wasnt there is no worse svr game they all good plus it has alot of cool wrestlers that werent in the previous
WWE SvR 2008 is the last truly great WWE game, IMO.
PROs:
-Graphics
-Two Styles per Superstar
-WWE 24/7 with the Best GM Mode
-ECW and ECW Legends
-Custom Soundtrack
-FULL GAME from Start to Finish!!!!
-No DLC
CONs:
-Roster
I always thought this game should've had DLC due to the lackluster roster. Here's my concept on how they could've done it.
Tag Team Pack - London/Kendrick, Cade/Murdoch, Shelton/Haas, Deuce/Domino
Superstar Pack - RVD, Hardcore Holly, Cody Rhodes, Santino Marella, The Miz, The Boogeyman, Big Daddy V
Legends Pack(The PSP exclusives that weren't included in the PS2,3, and 360) - Eddie Guerrero, Jim Neidhart, Sgt. Slaughter
It's not the best idea, but this game sorely needed a bigger roster.
True they needed more guys in this game makes no sense and I am still mad that they removed Benoit and rvd like god damn
@@thekingchannel4918 Tbf, Benoit was taken out for good reason, but RVD makes no sense considering Sabu was released before him yet still made the cut. Not to mention that fact that other big names like Angle and Christian were in TNA, Jericho didnt come back till December, Big Show until February, and probably more that I'm forgetting
@@yellerfeller5077 true
@@yellerfeller5077 but still though they could have had angle and Christian and Jericho go in as free agents like brah I wish Christian and Jericho was in svr 2007 and svr 2008 like
while svr 2008 was a bad game, it still have a good soundtrack
Bad game, what?!
@@MerlautJones The gameplay feels slowed down and season mode was a sloppy mess
@@Dank_Dank NOPE
@@MerlautJones yes
Kyros Silva nope
SVR 08 was easily my least favourite from the series. Great video man! Keep up the good work 😉
Thanks a lot!
+NikateeN what's your least favorite wwe game
I agree, fizzy. 08 is one of the most disappointing game of modern wrestling games (next to 2k15).
fizzy292 agreed, it sucked harder than a vacuum.
08 improved on 07 in most aspects, how are none of the later games your least favorite?
I wish Shelton Benjamin was featured in this game.
Exactly Benjamin and others who was active in 2007 should have been in the game like literally there wasn’t any tag teams or any other superstars like the fuck they was thinking of adding 53 guys like brah
@@thekingchannel4918 agreed
Great video! 2008 was the first SvR game I owned, picking up a ps2 in 2006-2007. I love this game, the nostalgia alone gets me all the time. I see your points though, in retrospective it isn't that great, but for me it's pretty much my childhood.
R.I.P. Nancy and Daniel.
@JD Gust of Wind Dance no he wasn't dumbass
Lots of deleted replies here... were people really that nasty and disrespectful to your comment?
Fuckin' LOSERS, if so...
07 and 08 are my faves. GM mode is too much fun
Gm mode is meh
I never understood the hype with gm mode, I tried it in 2008, was pretty disappointed. Season mode in 07 is hell of a lot fun though, I prefer road to wrestlemania than gm mode.
@@ShroomsInLockerbooo bad opinion
Those cartwheels down the ramp are freaking hilarious
Currently going through a bunch of old SVGRs after this one popped up in my feed. This honestly wasn't what I subscribed for, but I decided to give one a watch and now I'm hooked! I particularly love the CAW ending, my sides were in orbit. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot! And welcome to the channel!
I actually liked this game, but still agree on the weaknesses and bad points. I just still enjoyed playing the game despite them.
I still play WWE SvR 2008 on my PS2.
Carl Hicks I had it PSP. Although I think this game sucks. I wouldn't mind going back to play again just for the hell of it, but unfortunately I sold my psp long ago. The first 3 SvR were the shit tho 👌! Still have em'.
Sell it buy a good game instead
You forgot to mention the last WWE game to feature triple threat tag matches
That entrance had me on the floor 🤣🤣🤣
ECW will always be my overall favorite promotion so I ended up really liking 2008 because of the added ECW things here and there. Dope vid but that outro is gonna give me nightmares lol.
I love the whole asthetic of the time period along with the awesome music and the early days of Wwecw makes me love this game, so underrrated
NO YOU CAN UNLOCK JEFF HARDY BY PLAYING A LADDER MATCH AS MATT HARDY IN 2007, lol I wonder how many people fell for that
SouthernSamurai probably to many people lol
You can ? Even tho he's already in the game
@@nevermindgaming6848 They meant in SvR 07 not 08
in my opinion... from 2008 looks empty without Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle
... after this... all suplex move was irrelevant... and the begining of "kicks move"
Yahiko Gounza Muyizaka Yup pretty much
The only credit I will give this game, is the really good soundtrack, and heavily getting me into Chevelle. Other than that, fuck this game.
Your wrestling vg reviews are the best on the web! Please do the TNA Wrestling Game review, and the WWE Racing game too!
You've earned a subscriber with these reviews. Keep them up.
Am I the only one who thought that this games arena lighting was very dark and grungy?!
I hated back stage in this game
I agree with you this game felt really different like SvR 2007 was bright and vibrant but this game dark and grungy.
@@acceptable1609its the opposite svr 2007 it was like ur wrestling in a arena with not a single light in it everything was so dark svr 2008 brightened things up making it look more realistic u obv havent played both
Sunset Valley from Stunt Race FX...nice selection. Keep up the great work man.
Thanks!
The roster cuts were odd because some were missed this game after appearing in the last one only to appear in the next game
Hands down the BEST GM MODE! Bring this back!!
I prefer 07s mainly because of the bigger roster and I really enjoyed sending my lower midcarders to heat or velocity it really gave them a popularity boost once they were ready to return to the main roster
@@rickyrosay33977it didnt give them shit they lost popularity if anything thats the only reason i think svr 2008 gm mode is better u can actually use lower card wrestlers in svr 2007 the roster is big but whats the point if u cant use anyone thats not a upper midcarder
I remember the first time playing this. I rented it from blockbuster and brought my ps2 to my girlfriends house at the times house and she hated wrestling with a passion haha
never liked this game that much.. SVR 2007 & 2006 were way better
TokyoBrando Agreed. I thought the first SmackDown! vs RAW was great too! As a matter of fact the first 3 SvR games were the best! '08-'10 sucked ass. I never played 2011 or the 2K series so can't judge those. I did however played '13 and enjoyed it (still do!)

Tommy Dreamer's first appearance in a wwe video game was in WWE Raw 2
YES A NEW EPISODE AND THIS TIME SVR 2008 YAHH
Even today John Cena is still using the Powerhouse ability. haha
cDayz not any cena, SUPER CENA :/
Oh yes. Haha At least he's now taking time off.
cDayz really? is he still off from wwe? and why
Life lifter gamer A milatary reality show (second series) & filming a movie & few more in the pipe line. WWE reportedly asked him to take time out to appear on Smackdown to boost ratings but he said he couldn't
(many ppl in WWE believe that he didn't want to personally) cos it wouldn't be professional of him.
Oh OK. When is the next wwe draft? And thank you for replying back. :-)
LOVED the Eternal Champions music you used, Honey! OMG I loved that game when I was little. 💜💜💜
I hear that Eternal Champions music.
Good choice for background music
this was the first wrestling game i bought after no mercy. i was kind of disappointed, but i didn't hate it. i bought the next two thinking maybe they'd fix the stuff i didn't like, but i actually did end up hating those. i wish i knew i should've just got '07. i would've liked the roster better anyway.
CSick27 2010 was awesome
Should’ve got Svr 2007
svr 8 was the first wrestling game I fell in love with
Am I the only one who likes svr 2008
Nope!
2008-2010 were very bad games. The physics system in 2011 really improved the series
Dustin Hawk No Mercy, Here Comes the Pain, & Shut Your Mouth are the best games
Buttercup III overrated games
Buttercup III no mercy? Nah overrated ... but HCTP and SYM and SVR(05) are the best games in the entire wrestling franchise by far
Svr 2010 was Very good actually I have it and I love it.
2008 was the best imo, I agree about 09 & 2010 tho.
This is the game that killed the franchise for me
Explosions and Stuff why?
Explosions and Stuff same here this game sucked
When your first console is a GameCube then you only have a DS then to this oh yeah childhood
No it was 2009 bro
@@smashboi6494 and 10 and 12 and 15 and 16 and 17 and 18
Ugh. Glad I missed this one.
I'm waiting for WWE 13 to come in the mail thanks to your review, though.
First wrestling game I have purchased since Smackdown V. Raw 2006. Thanks dude!
U gotta get svr 2008 great game
What is the song on Durdee's theme tho? Kinda sounds like St. Etienne
It’s Linda (Hulk’s wife) singing a song that was in the Hulk Hogan and the Weestling Boot Band album. A true hidden gem.
What's the name of the song used for the created wrestlers entrance near the end?...
I recognise it but can't think of the name.
Hulks the one
PLEASE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY >.< I love your channel dude.
What is that song at the end that your created wrestler is using?
I remember the only reason i was hyped for this game , because jeff hardy came back to wwe earlier that year and he was going to be in the game , the first time since just bring it i think , but i was really dissapointed with the game
Christopher Gutierrez first time since Shut Your Mouth u mean
He should have been in svr 2007
Love your use of Armored Armadillo stage theme in this video. I would notice this, haha.
The 24/7 is a clusterfuck, don't know what they were thinking, RIP GM Mode 06-07
i miss GM MODE was so fun :( they should make this again but with better cut scenes
Lmao your custom characters at the ends always kill me man
I notice they revamped some of the animations in this one. You can still feel the DNA of older titles in there however.
Love the classic game tunes you've got on this review. What's the first one called? I swear I've heard that in a Sonic game somewhere.
LOVE your videos! Please keep it up! And omg your "Durdee Anus" character is AMAZING!
Did you ever play Legends of Wrestlemania? Would love to see you review that game.
This was one of my favorite wrestling games because it was the first one I've played and I played it religiously I didn't play any other wrestling game until wwe 12 came out
This channel is so unique! You should review the tna impact game that came out I think it was solid enough and maybe some other fighting games like dragon ball z ones haha
I admit i enjoy svr 2008 in my psp and love all the song.
The one thing do I have to say with the sound is when a babyface makes an entrance, the cheering audience sound a little distorted and they sound like they were stuck on one loop, heck you can even hear a few boos if you listen carefully.
The last wwe game I enjoyed. Heck it was the last to have gm mode. I absolutely hated SvR2009. It was so bare bones. Really loved this game and its soundtrack. I understand the criticism it gets though. 06 and 07 are still better
I’m glad you put that WhatTheFuck on Sunday Night Heat lol.
This game would also be the last game to feature Randy Orton's "Burn In My Light" theme until it was used again for Retro Randy Orton in WWE 2K14. I'm hoping this theme makes a return somehow in future WWE 2K games.
Considering that Randy himself hates the song that's just a pipe dream
I always used to play svr 2008 on my ps2. I'm glad you reviewed this game
Glad you enjoyed!
I enjoyed multiplayer with my friends and the upgraded graphics for PS3 but this game was pretty bad. I am glad these reviews are coming back more frequently. Definitely keep up the good work. I miss the other intro though. It is way more catchier. Found myself head bopping many times
WWE smack down vs raw 2008 is in my top 5 🤷🏾♂️
Easily the worst of the lot. I remember having to actually carry the a.i. all the time to get enjoyment out of matches.
Yea even on harder difficulties the AI still won't engage very often, instead it seems they just reverse everything. Like a defense only AI... Very strange.
Love this channel
Thanks Bob!
You actually can rest in 24/7 mode you just go to R&R
And lose popularity yeah we'll past
It WAS better because it had more ECW wrestlers than just one (RVD). Having Terry Funk and Sabu in a game where you didn’t have to do crazy button combinations (Legends of Wrestling 1 and 2) and the GM mode was great. Thinking that 2007 was better is lik saying Eva Marie was a good wrestler./
In the end of this video the caw looks like metaljesusrocks from the RUclips channel hahahahha lmao
What's the name of the song at the end of the video??
Andrey Víquez Bolaños thats what I'm asking
Hulks the one
what was the ending's theme song????
Hulks the one
This is my favorite smack down vs raw game
Me too
Smackdown vs Raw 08 wasn't that bad. Sure it did lack from the other games but it was still enjoyable. Smackdown vs Raw 09 is where I believe the series really took that nosedive. The PG era definitely hurt it in some way along with lack of features and missing matches
I knew there was something up with the roster as a kid I noticed Beniot was missing which I eventually guessed was due to that incident. I also noticed that we were missing London and Kendrick Trevor Murdoch lance Cade Big Show and Kurt Angle so quite a few people who were on the roster at the time.
Exactly the reason of why they was cut was because thq and wwe was being lazy asf when adding the roster but yeah these should have made the cut officially
@@thekingchannel4918 it’s wild that London and Kendrick didn’t make the roster until SVR09 when I’m almost certain they were either not a team or nowhere near as prominent as they were. So clearly it’s in history for glaring omissions to the rosters
@@Jnwboss well that’s a stupid ass move that they always do like literally what’s the point of them making a game if they don’t include everyone on the roster
What's that song at the end called?
Hulks the one
12:57
Mankind,Undertaker and Kane are kid friendly compared to *that*.
😱😱
This game had the best soundtrack!
honnestly i think the series was great also 2008 was one of my favorites
That intro that you made literally had me laughing my ass off 😂😂😂😂
Does Smackdown vs raw 2008 have controller vibration on xbox 360?
All downhill from here.
Then 2k came.....oh God
2k14 was okay. Lacking in many respects, though. Easily the best in the series since 2010, though that isn't saying much.
I would say 13 was the last good game.
PHILL SHIVELY here comes the pain is my favorite smackdown game and svr 2007 is my favourite svr game, it had an amazing soundtrack a great roster, gm mode and season mode were amazing and costumizing your locker room was fun. It was my favorite svr game.
SvR 2011 was great though.
This was when I stopped watch and stopped playing wwe
Since wwf smackdown on the ps1 my dad would always buy me the newest wwe game every year on Christmas but I stopped watching wwe a week before the release of svr 2011 which was my last wwe game I ever bought and didn't bought any game after because I was no longer watching wwe
Awesome vid
Thank you!
nikateen what are your thoughts on wwe 2k17
You get a SUB from me JUST for the FINAL FIGHT Slums music from Sega CD! AWESOME DUDE!
Omar Enrique thanks! Welcome!
what button do i go on to get a weapon on ps3
Why was your intro music so slightly different?
Liking the Final Fight CD music in this vid.
Only got this for the gm mode was not that happy tbh it was just 07 to me with ecw thrown in not much new to still good vid man hope you can make a living out of doing vids
Thanks!
Great video as always. Btw, Did you ever cover Twisted Metal 2012? If not, are you still going to?
Thanks! Not yet, but I still plan on it!
Does Smackdown vs raw 2007 have controller vibration on Xbox 360? Someone tell me
I have every unlocked character ( except Vince so that kinda ruins what am talking about) and arena. I absolutely love this game. My favorite next to hctp
Excellent review as always dude.
Thanks a lot!
One thing I realized was how high the ratings were for some wrestlers in this video that I didn’t realize playing back then,Marcus Cor Von with an 89,Nitro with an 89, MVP with an 88, & more,also 24/7 mode for wrestlers(created)was just repetitive & didn’t make sense but I still wanna get this game again for GM Mode,the awesome soundtrack of course, & the memories
This was my first SVR game so I won't have a bad word said about it.
the game wasn't perfect. but when I was younger I grindeed out hours of game play with my bros lol
What version of the final fight slum theme is that? 1:00
This one and 07 were great
great video my friend, i actually liked the fighting styles but the unlockables were so expensive to buy at a time :(
also i have a question: what's the name of the song that comes with ''sexy girl''??? lol
When are you releasing more reviews?
