Well whatta you know? Having a popular system sure does wonders in attracting the bigname franchises. WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008 will be the first wrestling game on the Wii and yes, you get to do the DX crotch chop with the wiimote when taunting your opponent. Sweet.

Outside of the general gameplay, SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 still delivers a very strong Wii effort considering it's the first WWE title of the system, and it's still only 40% finished. The general graphical presentation is pretty solid, already comparable to Day of Reckoning 2 for GameCube (better in some cases, worse in others), as it has a more complete environment at the sacrifice of some jaggies on character models. In general though, it's a solid first outing, and it houses some of the better character models we've seen on Wii thus far. The screens really don't do it justice, as the game definitely has an edge on some of the PS2 content we've seen thus far.
