James Thomas ok but it didn’t have a bad roster I mean it added ECW and while I hated that they added it in GM Mode it still had the championships the correct superstars and divas or as we call them in wwe women now Yay 😁 and I mean at least you got to win titles in the GM Mode so
There’s a lot of kids on this site(ehhh I count but I’m smart, sorta) and a lot of them are clueless and people would get fooled, but who ever is fooled are idiots
This game was always regarded as it could have been fantastic but THQ by the time of this games release decided to edit out tons of good stuff due to the Benoit incident and made it a bit of a mess but still good 👍
Psycho Clown the roster made GM Mode a chore. 2007s roster was the best for GM Mode, but 2006s was in the middle, its mostly because of the choices of ECW guys. I tend to end up using more legends in 08 & less legends in 07 outside of Eddie.
I don't HATE this game . I actually like it. it was actually one of my favorite games as a kid. But tbh....the game was inferior to SvR07 in every single way except for the extreme rules matches and the graphics. 08 is VERY flawed. 1. You can't play story mode and GM mode at the same time, you could do this in SvR07 but not in 08. It was the biggest problem about 08. What was the purpose for removing this option? What were the developers thinking? 2. Create a move set sucked ass, the new abilities locked off and limited certain moves to a certain play style and that was a HORRIBLE decision when they made this game, it's not deep at all it's just dumb. They also took away wrestling stances in 08. 3. The roster was a lot smaller than the roster in 07, we went from 70 wrestlers in 07 to 50 in 08. The roster was also Weaker in 08. where is Eddie Guerrero? This also caused a problem in GM mode because now you had three brands instead of two but the roster Was smaller so none of the three brands were actually able to get 20 superstars on their rosters because there aren't enough wrestlers in the game! 4. The locker room from 07 was removed, yes it didn't have a lot of purpose in 07 but it was fun to customize your very own room, it was great in my opinion. 5. Recycled features and texts. This is very apparent in GM mode. ALL of the storylines in 08's GM mode were copied from 07. 6. Story mode and GM mode are simply better in 07, i could go into detail why it is that way but im too lazy at the moment. There are also other things that 07 did better than 08 but these were the major ones.
I remember me and my mom were at Blockbuster (ikr) and I was staring so hard at this game and I never asked my Mom for anything but she asked me if I wanted it and I was like yeah and she got it for me. I remember this memory the most
The wrestling-style abilities really limited what you could do. I was mainly a high-flying and hardcore guy, but I still wanted to steal finishers (only showman could do), strike combinations (only brawlers could do), etc
my childhood too the gameplay during it's time was amazing not to mention the extreme rules, smashing the oppoenents face in the TV was frikkin awesome
Dude lol! I subbed because of this video. This game is awesome but it lacked a couple of things . It needs a better roster, 24/7 mode was rushed and broken , no backstage areas at all except the parking lot brawl match . The target lock system sucks because it's automatic and the ladder matches made me want to pull my hair out. And there's more things wrong with this game but overall I still like this game and I don't hate it like most people.
The roster wasn't great, fighting stances were removed, the movelist was extremely hollow, 24/7 mode was horrible, possibly among other things. What it definitely didn't lack is an amazing soundtrack. I loved all the music on it. AM Conspiracy, Chevelle, Sevendust, all great stuff.
With respect, I must ask how so? It was so barren, the story was basically nonexistent. It was a huge step down from what '06 and '07 offered. Which also reminds me of how their attribute system for CAWs was also much better.
Red Lazer of Doom In my opinion it's one of the best season modes, because it just was so fun to play it. I literally played the season mode like 10 times.
this was my favorite SVR game of all time, and it sucks that it was the last one with a season mode. I loved the roster and the music. The game was so good i bought it on two different generations of consoles.
back then you had to keep pressing the R2 and counter almost all the moves and not worry about pressing the button at the right time, not to mention the pace those games had
Roster sucked, they removed a lot of stuff for no reason such as Create A PPV, Season Mode was terrible, GM Mode was broken as all hell, they combine the two modes into this 24/7 Mode and you couldn't do both at the same time (you would have to sacrifice all of your work on GM Mode if you wanted to play Season Mode and vice versa). The Struggle Submission system they introduced in this game crippled the Submissions in these games for YEARS because those fucking idiots only made the system work for a few submission moves while all of the other ones were either removed or just treated as regular moves (don't even waste your time creating Kurt Angle unless he's early AE Kurt Angle because the Ankle Lock was useless in this game).
This is my favourite WWE game, the soundtrack, the character selection renders looked cool, the graphics at the time, ECW, and it was my in my favourite year of WWE - 2007 (though not the best, it was my first year as a wrestling fan so it's always up the top)
I had a lot of fun with this game, it was the last SVR game I ever played, I had SVR 06-08, this was probably the worst of the three tbh, I liked that they added ECW and even more grappling control from 2007, the fighting style system was kinda cool but weird, it was such a weird coincidence, I played SVR 2008 and Madden 2008 so much and they both had this weird special ability system that was cool yet it made some characters too broken, also they both had "You Wouldn't Know" by Hell Yeah on the soundtrack, what was up with that lol?
Man this was the game for me . I lost countless hours of my life into this game . Especially on the psp this damn game could be taken on the damn road ! This game was goat unless the shit we have today Aka 2k20 god help us
Though this game wasn’t the best in the series (though I’ll always have a soft spot for it), wasn’t that at least partly due to the fact that the Benoit debacle happened just less than two months before the release? I imagine a lot of time was spent taking him out of the game and putting stuff in his place so maybe that’s why it didn’t turn out as good as the previous game.
Hey GreatOne! Can You Do Royal Rumble 2014 Like WWE14 Or it might be called WWE2k14 don’t remember but can you that would be sweet!! Love your Gaming content by the way keep up the Great Work!
I legit played this yesterday and realized the 2k18 career mode story pretty much was a watered down version of the 24/7 mode end storyline pretty much.
Yeah I hated the fighting styles. Limited what you could do in previous games but for specific superstars. Yeah didn't like it. 24/7 sucked and gm was ruined by ecw and the roster. This game has a unique roster but it is too small.
Ikr I understand why benoit wasn't added but Boogeyman, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Jaime Noble, Joey Mercury, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Kevin Thorn, Hardcore Holly why were they not added
@@rickyrosay33977 don’t forget them not adding super crazy,mike Knox,Matt striker,balls Mahoney,test,Charlie haas,Shelton Benjamin,bam bam,hogan,razor Ramon, and more from 2007 and they didn’t bother to add these guys because they was petty and lazy asf like rvd and miz should have made the cut
The reason why it wasn'tas good as it could've been is that halfway through the game they had to take Chris Benoit out of the game and all of his voice over's and everything he had to do with the main storyline
This game was fun to me as a kid, but now that I’m older this game is really broken. GM mode is terrible! It lacks so much and the roster was weak, but I had a great time playing this with friends
My main criticism of this game is the repetitive story mode. It's the same no matter how many times you play it.
SkeeterMcMeatBeater then don’t play it
James Thomas ok but it didn’t have a bad roster I mean it added ECW and while I hated that they added it in GM Mode it still had the championships the correct superstars and divas or as we call them in wwe women now Yay 😁 and I mean at least you got to win titles in the GM Mode so
@James Thomas GM MODE???
@James Thomas that's way don't expect too much
Gm mode was solid in 08, though I think 07 has the best gm mode
This is the first game I ever got, it brings back great memories
Even bigger proof that you aren’t Chris Jericho
Powerstarmario 17
I don't know who would be stupid enough to think that I am actually Chris Jericho
There’s a lot of kids on this site(ehhh I count but I’m smart, sorta) and a lot of them are clueless and people would get fooled, but who ever is fooled are idiots
Chris Jericho same bro this game, hctp and shut your mouth were the goats by far
Chris Jericho same
I like this game because it has the original ECW wrestlers like Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Sabu and Terry Funk.
Doctor Awesomeness should've added more.
Doctor Awesomeness dont forget
Bobby leashly
Doctor Awesomeness It really bothered me that Rob Van Dam wasn’t in the game though
Pitle Pen Raven hadn’t been with the company for at least 5 years
Mk Jarral Lashley is not an ECW original
bobby lashley was actually a top 5 wrestler at the time
This game was always regarded as it could have been fantastic but THQ by the time of this games release decided to edit out tons of good stuff due to the Benoit incident and made it a bit of a mess but still good 👍
Waiting for the Royal Rumble 2008

I never thought the game was bad. Just weak roster and weak season mode. If I can call it that.
Psycho Clown the roster made GM Mode a chore. 2007s roster was the best for GM Mode, but 2006s was in the middle, its mostly because of the choices of ECW guys. I tend to end up using more legends in 08 & less legends in 07 outside of Eddie.
Psycho Clown The season mode was one of the best!
@@TheRaNdOmLiFe1000 06's roster was absolutely stacked and the best for GM Mode in my opinion
I agree it had it aside from the one mode
Payaso Loco And how is it a bad roster? It’s about 10x better than ‘09, ‘10, ‘11 rosters lol. Season mode was pretty decent as well
I wish the old thq wwe games were playable on xbox one I would quit playing 2k18 and play this, 2007, and 2011
I still play the WWE THQ games to this very day. They'll never get old to me. I could play these forever. The only 2K ones I liked were 2K14 and 2K19.
@A.narchy _ only a select few of them them are backwards compatible. Unfortunately 0 wwe games (last time I checked) are backwards compatible.
Maybe it’s because of the Wii version
Markos Ziss the wii version was awesome it was how I got my modern wwe game start, before that was wcw on the 64

You say that you're lazy but you have written the biggest para I've ever seen in my life. I wouldn't type this much even when I'm not lazy
Piyush Dutta for real
2007 was trash. Gameplay was inferior to 2008
A lot of legends was exclusives for PSP for some reason and it started with the 2008
07 changed everything it’s like comparing 2k11 to the other nba 2ks
Yeah man, Thank you for wanting to bring back the GM Mode.
Also you also didn't do SVR 2009 Royal Rumble.
This game is great. I played the shit out of it on my psp
same :))
Same here
I remember me and my mom were at Blockbuster (ikr) and I was staring so hard at this game and I never asked my Mom for anything but she asked me if I wanted it and I was like yeah and she got it for me. I remember this memory the most
Same thing with me! We used to get every pay day Friday and rent this game. Man take me back to 07.
This game took my mind off the recession here in the u.s. Tough times but this game made me happy (:
I remember the recession it was awful my mom lost her job and our dad had to work overtime to pay the bills
Meow69 ooo it’s bad now lol
The wrestling-style abilities really limited what you could do. I was mainly a high-flying and hardcore guy, but I still wanted to steal finishers (only showman could do), strike combinations (only brawlers could do), etc
This fame on 7th gen looks pretty cool 😎 or good for something so old
Finally it’s back online
Ali Azar Chandio what do you mean
It’s off again?
my childhood too the gameplay during it's time was amazing not to mention the extreme rules, smashing the oppoenents face in the TV was frikkin awesome
Probably my favorite wwe game member getting it on my birthday loved playing GM mode and 24/ Mode and trying to unlock everyone on that hall fame mode
It was a huge step down from 06 and 07, which were two of my favorites.
Awesome video man ! This is my favorite wwe game the 24/7 season mode was really fun
thank you for uploading to video i been waiting all day for this
This is a throwback idk how people can hate it but play 2k18
Dude lol! I subbed because of this video. This game is awesome but it lacked a couple of things . It needs a better roster, 24/7 mode was rushed and broken , no backstage areas at all except the parking lot brawl match . The target lock system sucks because it's automatic and the ladder matches made me want to pull my hair out. And there's more things wrong with this game but overall I still like this game and I don't hate it like most people.
This game was good but it was lacking something.
Boy123Jim The roster
The roster wasn't great, fighting stances were removed, the movelist was extremely hollow, 24/7 mode was horrible, possibly among other things. What it definitely didn't lack is an amazing soundtrack. I loved all the music on it. AM Conspiracy, Chevelle, Sevendust, all great stuff.
Red Lazer of Doom Wut? The 24/7 mode was one of the best ever.
With respect, I must ask how so? It was so barren, the story was basically nonexistent. It was a huge step down from what '06 and '07 offered. Which also reminds me of how their attribute system for CAWs was also much better.
Red Lazer of Doom In my opinion it's one of the best season modes, because it just was so fun to play it. I literally played the season mode like 10 times.

back then you had to keep pressing the R2 and counter almost all the moves and not worry about pressing the button at the right time,
not to mention the pace those games had
Why would people dislike this game?
Blue DinoViper Cause he's lying, he's acting like he played these game as a kid
Career was boring. Roster was bad. Abilitys made the game way to easy. Gm mode sucked..
nodoutcoward like you
Roster sucked, they removed a lot of stuff for no reason such as Create A PPV, Season Mode was terrible, GM Mode was broken as all hell, they combine the two modes into this 24/7 Mode and you couldn't do both at the same time (you would have to sacrifice all of your work on GM Mode if you wanted to play Season Mode and vice versa).

Idk
This is my favourite WWE game, the soundtrack, the character selection renders looked cool, the graphics at the time, ECW, and it was my in my favourite year of WWE - 2007 (though not the best, it was my first year as a wrestling fan so it's always up the top)
This is literally reason I got back into wrestling and remains my favorite to this day
I like this game so much with Smackdown, RAW and ECW and I still love this game
This was the only game to feature an amazing variation of the RKO and the belt customization was pretty decent in this if it was in if I remember
DOA HITMAN I don't remember it in this game but the old customization was good
Hey greatone what happened you uploaded this video a couple hours ago and then you deleted it straight away what went on
The soundtrack and everything is amazing
can't wait till GM Mode comes back love the videos though keep it up 👍
Are we not getting the Royal rumble today?
This is my favorite wwe game
Same.
My first game love it but idk y ppl hate this
WWE SVR 2008 is one of the best WWE game ever made way better than 2K's
That catching RKO is so much better than the crappy one in the current games ...
I had a lot of fun with this game, it was the last SVR game I ever played, I had SVR 06-08, this was probably the worst of the three tbh, I liked that they added ECW and even more grappling control from 2007, the fighting style system was kinda cool but weird, it was such a weird coincidence, I played SVR 2008 and Madden 2008 so much and they both had this weird special ability system that was cool yet it made some characters too broken, also they both had "You Wouldn't Know" by Hell Yeah on the soundtrack, what was up with that lol?
Just finished playing it!
I remember playing this game all the time back in 2011. Ah good times.
As far as the actual game engine & mechanics this is a very great game
Back in Kindergarton I used to grind exhibition matches becuase I didn’t understand how to play any other modes
This is the best one and brings back memories of the good old days
Man it's my favourite SVR Game! Why would anyone hate it?
Just the people disliked the story mode called 24/7 mode being messed up
what do you use to screen record *plz reply*
He probably has a game capture of some sort.
This was my most memorable smackdown vs raw game and my favorite
when is rumble coming out @TheGreatOne
Great game, Great match types but it was just lacking the roster
2008 was a great game its soundtracks was awesome
Man this was the game for me . I lost countless hours of my life into this game . Especially on the psp this damn game could be taken on the damn road ! This game was goat unless the shit we have today Aka 2k20 god help us
Please Could You Do Day of Reckoning 2?
Though this game wasn’t the best in the series (though I’ll always have a soft spot for it), wasn’t that at least partly due to the fact that the Benoit debacle happened just less than two months before the release?

This was my favorite wwe game ever GM Mode plus Cm Punk my favorite wrestler introduced
I had this game on my PSP 2000's were the years of greatness
Hey GreatOne! Can You Do Royal Rumble 2014 Like WWE14 Or it might be called WWE2k14 don’t remember but can you that would be sweet!! Love your Gaming content by the way keep up the Great Work!
Well for some reason every time I ever tried to play this on my ps3 on the season mode or whatever mode my game for some reason would freeze
The gameplay was a bit slow, the season mode had weird moments and the soundtrack sounded depressing
@Slick Soundtrack was good though
@Slick 07's soundtrack was better
You should come back to this and do a barred alive match i think this was the last game with that match
That "Store your fighting style" I didn't really like tho.
I like this game. I still play it on my ps2 same with the wwe games on the ps2
Bring back the ringbell as a weapon and titles left at ringside, Even non title matches should givw you the option to use your belt as a weapon.
This was my first wwe game ever the first one I played in my life.
I legit played this yesterday and realized the 2k18 career mode story pretty much was a watered down version of the 24/7 mode end storyline pretty much.
This is definitely my top 10 best WWE video games to ever exist!!
people didn't like this game for 3 reasons: 24/7 mode, the roster and the fighting style gimmick.
I liked 2 of those features about it. As for the roster, I mostly use created wrestlers in these games.
Yeah I hated the fighting styles. Limited what you could do in previous games but for specific superstars. Yeah didn't like it. 24/7 sucked and gm was ruined by ecw and the roster. This game has a unique roster but it is too small.
You should definitely do a Shawn Michaels's video please man!
It was still ruthless agression til end of 2008
Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain Please. Like if you want this game
I am missing and waiting for your monday night raw and smackdown live videos man i know you love making games video but we also wants other videos ?
This is my favorite wrestling game of all time. There is so much to do in the game
Iss game ko kaise download kare
Great video, btw, you should start watching raw again, it became so fucking good after the "update" on the stage :3
LoneWolf Universe I Hope They Have a Woman's Gauntlet Match on The Next Raw
LoneWolf Universe Raw has been sucking since 2009 I’d rather watch episodes from 2007 then watch raw today
Too bad they don't make wrestlers like they use too, The vets are ok but the newer ones can't act as their character or preform in the ring well.
I love this game it was the first svr game for me I love it to the max
Wow looking back at this vid your voice changed a lot from here lol
Why would they dislike it,SVR 2008 was a great ton of fun for me and my brother
That RKO was sick
I had this on psp
This game was my childhood Please play SvR 2006
I think WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 was rushed because of Chris Benoit's death.
R.I.P. Chris Benoit
Ikr I understand why benoit wasn't added but Boogeyman, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Jaime Noble, Joey Mercury, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Kevin Thorn, Hardcore Holly why were they not added
@@rickyrosay33977 don’t forget them not adding super crazy,mike Knox,Matt striker,balls Mahoney,test,Charlie haas,Shelton Benjamin,bam bam,hogan,razor Ramon, and more from 2007 and they didn’t bother to add these guys because they was petty and lazy asf like rvd and miz should have made the cut
what's the name of the outro song
Lol I'm not the only one who says "you think you know me" and continue to make lip noises to mimic the music
Y y did u delete this video and uploaded it again
"Thats a spicy meat A ball " Great ones new catchphrase lol
How has your game got trophy support mine has not
Actually, this was the first WWE game I played. And after this I went on to play every SVR game
Are you going to play the 2008 royal rumble
This game and smackdown vs raw 2005 was my favorite wwe games
The ending of that match was lit rko and a spear nice job man
The reason why it wasn'tas good as it could've been is that halfway through the game they had to take Chris Benoit out of the game and all of his voice over's and everything he had to do with the main storyline
Why did u delete this video earlier?
Typical Guy ikr i was first
Why did you delete the OG
Loved spamming the triple jump moonsault 😂😂
This game was fun to me as a kid, but now that I’m older this game is really broken. GM mode is terrible! It lacks so much and the roster was weak, but I had a great time playing this with friends
I don't have this game
I remember when I played this game on my psp...those were great memories
This one was my favorite back then
Because they didn't add alot of superstars to the game Big Show returned in 2007 didn't add him Miz debut in 07 didn't add him
InklinLump Well he was jobber
Big Show returned in 2008, when this game came out Show was still out of the company
Jimmy Cao Because Big Show was not in WWE during 2007 (the year SvR08 represents). He took a hiatus from Dec06-Feb08
@UserNoLongerExist snitsky debuted in 2004 wtf are you talking about?
Miz debuted in 06
Forehead squad where you at XD?
Great video by the Greatone
Believe it or not I got this game in 2013-2014 Just to know what Wrestling games was like, my first Wrestling game was RvS 2010 On my PSP
