WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 (Nintendo DS)

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 is a professional wrestling video game developed by Yuke's and released on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS video game consoles by THQ in November 2007. Amaze Entertainment oversaw development for the Nintendo DS version. In which this page will be talking about the Nintendo DS Version.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) All of the gameplay is done by using the touch screen, you cannot move your character at all, or even choose your own moves. You have to swipe around the touch screen to do many of the actions.
 * 2) * This is also very bad, if you are playing it on a emulator. Since the game requires very good timing to every move you do.
 * 3) This version is missing a bunch of modes such as Create A Wrestler, GM Mode, 24/7 Mode (which was replaced by a mediocre season mode), and more.
 * 4) No commentary from Michael Cole, Tazz, and Jerry Lawler due to hardware limitations.
 * 5) Very small roster, consisting of only 21 wrestlers to choose from.
 * 6) The character models while good on Nintendo DS hardware, has a few issues.
 * 7) * The faces the characters make are very strange at times.
 * 8) * CM Punk in this version looked like he took too much time in the tanning booth, he is also missing his facial hair.
 * 9) * The animations for the characters are very choppy during gameplay. And many of them are repeated throughout the entire game.
 * 10) Very poor sound effects, especially with the groans that the wrestlers make.
 * 11) * Many of the sounds and entrance music are also very low quality
 * 12) The soundtrack is replaced with generic rock music in the main menu.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) As mentioned, the graphics look pretty good for Nintendo DS standards.
 * 2) The entrance animations are taken from the console versions, in which are very well animated for DS Standards.
