(continued from previous page) ...of the most hyped racing games available because it continues to improve not only with gameplay, but with all aspects of the game. If the developers of SvR want to see sales skyrocket, then they are going to need more than just updated graphics.

The only significant improvements in SvR 2008 from the previous versions is the addition of Superstar Fighting Styles and the new struggle submissions system. However, they're not that big of an innovation over what was already offered. They're more comparable to added accessories than anything else. Superstar fighting styles give wrestlers of a certain type different abilities and exclusive moves, where as the struggle submission implement only lets you control the amount of pressure that you are applying to your opponent.
With the potential to be the best wrestling game to date, WWE SmackDown! Vs Raw fails to deliver an enticing experience worthy of a purchase. You are better off playing last year's title, as this year's game features little-to-no improvement from that iteration, and an army of noticeable faults. This series truly needs to head back to the drawing board.

I think they review the retail copy. Its a good sign when you see reviews of a game a week or so after its release. Goes to show they are reviewing a complete version while many don't even though they make out that they do. Thats why you see in many reviews talk about frame-rate issues and glitches, they reviewed the game before it got its final polish. Lair is a good example. Many gamers who played Lair actually liked the game and couldn't understand the critics over the motion controls. I read that after criticism, the devs improved the controls before release so its possible that the media reviewed the game before the motion controls had been improved. And then wasn't there another improvement of the controls in an update? Always avoid exclusive reviews, there is bribery to get the exclusive. And avoid reviews for games that have huge advetisements plastered all over their sites, we all know about Gamespot.
