WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008

Probably the only time your grandma will Flair Flip your ass

Mode-wise there's a reasonable smattering of event types (though the fights within them rarely feel different) and the central Main Event mode has a decent career focus, developing rivalries and forming tag-teams through ridiculously verbose text messages. Come on, how are these guys using predictive text with fingers the size of hotdogs?

It's annoying that, in many ways, the people who would most appreciate WWE on Wii are those who are least interested in wrestling. The 'hardcore' will find it streamlined and simplified into a title that years of fatter and fatter installments haven't prepared them for. From the inclusion of Miis as hilarious health meters to move sets even your gramma could master, this is clearly aimed at an expanded audience. And being as it isn't half bad, it deserves to find them.
