WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 first screens

by Nick Doerr { Apr 2nd 2007 at 5:00PM }

THQ recently announced their latest entry into the never-ending realm of man v. man dramatic fighting known as wrestling. This one, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, is set to release on practically every console known to man, but we've got a good handful of screenshots for you to enjoy.

Speaking of wrestling, which of the "fighting" style games do you find most enjoyable? Are you the wrestling nut? If so, what... ah... subgenre of wrestling is your pie? Prefer boxing? Or are you the classic martial arts fighter, finding the most joy in tossing out a hadoken (forgive the spelling if incorrect) and slamming your opponent with a shoryuken (again, sorry)? We asked how people felt about different racing game styles, so now we're asking you, the battling enthusiasts!

i have no idea what your talking about with the "hadoken" but the other one is spelled shuriken.

This could be the most unappealing game of this year for the one key fact it is based on WWE, no matter how good the game is it cant change that.

Hmmmm I guess sam is just another gay TNA fan.

shuriken...? yeah Im thinking no... Shoryuken is a perfect romanization and the Hadouken was close enough. ANYHOW, I'm an SNK fan who still plays the NeoGeo every day so I lean towards the 2D games (Mortal Kombat not included although I dont completely hate it). I like my share of 3D fighters, the main ones being Virtua and Soul Calibur (Tekken is decent but certainly not overwhelming). I guess I'm sort of a Japanese fighting game purist so I dont like the wrestling games and Def Jam makes me want to vomit. If I could sue to get the time I spent downloading that awful demo back I would.
