Special Collector's Edition Extras

There is also a code included so you can unlock Ric Flair via the game's cheat section.

Play as All Your Favorite WWE Superstars
A huge roster of superstars are included in the game, drawing from the Raw, Smackddown, ECW, and more. Some of the players include: Ashley, Batista, Chris Jericho, Hardcore Holly, John Cena, Kane, Layla, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Shawn Michaels, William Regal, Big Daddy V, Big Show, Edge, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Chavo Guerrero, Finlay, Tazz, and dozens more.

In addition, the Create-a-Superstar returns, letting you customize your own character, play as him through the career mode and become the next superstar. You can also use the new Create-A-Finisher feature to make a unique finishing move by chaining together 10 different animations out of over 500.

Enhanced Tag-Team Matches and Other New Match Types
Tag Team matches are emphasized in Smackdown vs. Raw 2009, and there are many new additions to make the game more realistic and fun. Players can now perform double teams on opponents, such as having one player hold an opponent against the ropes while on the apron, or pulling down on ropes while an opponent is running to send them out of the ring. And there are now different ways of tagging in, such as the forced blind tag and reversible hot tag. Teams also get team-specific finishing moves that are incredibly satisfying to perform.

In addition to tag matches, there are 14 one-on-one match types including the Inferno, Gauntlet, Falls Count Anywhere, Steel Cage and Ladder matches, and even a Backstage Brawl.

Road to Wrestlemania Mode
The single player Road to Wrestlemania mode offers a deep and diverse story line that is filled with brand defections, team building, and strategic alliances. You can choose from Triple H, CM Punk, The Undertaker, John Cena, and Chris Jericho to play in this single-player mode. There is also a story line for co-operative play, in which players control Batista and Rey Mysterio. The story lines are so custom tailored and well done that you might find them more compelling than what you see on television.

Play Online and Download New Content
You can play against friends online in different matches, and this time, voice support has been added so you can trash talk to your heart's content. Additionally, you can also download new content to keep the game fresh.

WWE fans and fighting game fans alike will both love this latest game, giving them a chance to grapple as their favorite superstars.

I received this item in time for Christmas. The limited availability of this game, and the fact that it was a last minute gift choice, made the price worth paying. I really liked the whole steel cage packaging and the extra Blu-ray disc containing over 2 hours of additional content. I recommend this game to all WWE fans.

This review is from: WWE: Smackdown vs Raw 2009 Collector's Edition (Video Game)

Don't get me wrong! Due to the fact i'm completely new to new WWE game and not a big fan of WWE, I guess I can tell a fair review. Personally, it's cool to have customization. But I don't know if I think they are limited or those attributives solely based on old wrestlers. I personally liked the marches and the load times are decent. But the fact it can sync with WWE legend, that itself a great addition or yet a combo success. I thing I do not think the developer did well are the menu, it's sort of hard to find options or get to one point to the next. Then again it's the mirror thing once you get used to it. Overall great and I got it for a great price for my brother's birthday.
