    Smackdown vs RAW 2006 and 2011 were miles better than 2008. I view 08 as one of the weakest in the SvR lineup. The fighting styles were limiting and unbalanced. And it suffers from having one of the weakest rosters. Other than the ECW stars and style, nothing else was brought to the table with this game. Soundtrack was good though.

    This game was a mixed bag for me. A lot of my favorite wrestlers were missing, and I was never into ECW, so there wasn’t much interest for me in terms of the roster. While the fighting styles made gameplay interesting and fresh, they were also limiting, as certain wrestlers didn’t have access to specific moves they were typically known for. 24/7 was crap-all I have to say about that. GM mode was a good inclusion but again, because of the thin roster, it didn’t feel as immersive, although the training aspect was a cool concept. All in all, it was ok, but not great.

    Excluding Buried Alive, I'm pretty sure WWE 2K still has majority of these features, too... You go on about fighting styles, as if that's exclusive to this game, but WWE 2K still has different types of wrestling styles, too; Powerhouse, Giants, Strikers, Technicians, and Cruiserweight... And that Ultimate Control shit, whichever SvR it was, WWE 2K also has that, but much better with it's Lift and Carry System that allows you to perform finishes from any Carry position - THAT'S AWESOME... However, I just don't see the hype for this game.
