What's great about it: Improved Roster; Create Modes; New Matches. etc.
What's not so great: I'll tell you when i find anything - that won't be soon.

"SVR is back and better than ever. With improved tag-team matches and the new "create a finisher" option, there's nothing you can't do! Graphics are better this time around, and I can't stop playing this game. If you're a fan of WWE, then you should definitely get this, hands down."

What's great about it: New Graphics and "signature" moves AND finishers
What's not so great: Short story lines and only one co-op story line

"I was impressed with the graphics in this game just like every year. The tag team finishers are awesome and being able to store a signature move instead of a "skill" I guess you'd say, is way better. This way you can store your first special and then when you build up another you can make it a more realistic finale by leading into your finisher with your signature.
The storylines, however, are very short. And there are only a few superstars you can do it with. You got HHH, CM Punk, Y2J, Undertaker, John Cena, and then there's the ONLY co-op story mode of Batista and Rey Mysterio which can also be played solo. So if you are an Edgehead or a fan of HBK or any of the other many superstars in the game, you can't do a story with them. I guess its a sacrifice they had to make to create more unique stories for each guy instead of using the same random cut scenes like the previous game, so hopefully they add some new storylines in the downloadable content when they get that going. Overall it's an awesome game. If you like wwe games I highly doubt this will let you down. I would definitely give it 5 stars if there were more storylines, so we'll see when the DLC comes out if there will be some expansion to that part!"

"I Love This Game. It's fun, it's easy and it's packed. The only problem is that when I've managed to complete all the RTW's I can imagine becoming quite un-interested with it until we get the DLC anyway. Hopefully along with new superstars, THQ will be able to give us new RTW storylines and arenas to keep us occupied with the DLC until the next installment. This type of thing will also allow THQ to give us a lot more to the game with constant updates instead of trying to put as much on the disc as possible before release date.
Really interesting story mode. This time, it's wrestler specific, so the story mode is much more fleshed out. You will probably get most enjoyment out of this mode.
There is create a finisher mode, which I previously thought had a lot of potential. But after playing with it for a few hours, I realized that the mode is really limited. Based upon what moves you pick in the first few steps, the rest of the steps become more and more limited in terms of what moves you can add. So you can't really create that many amazing looking finishers. If this mode had received more attention, I definitely would have given one more star to the game."

What's great about it: What's to say? Its SvR, baby!
What's not so great: Nothing so far...

"I have read the other reviews and I have to say that I, too, have been a wrestling 'mark' (fan) since I was a kid. I have played every wrestling game under the sun from Wrestlemania on NES to TNA IMPACT on PS3 and I have to say that SvR 2009 appears to be the best wrestling game in a LONG TIME (including the garbage that was SvR 2007 & 2008).

Let's be fair to TNA IMPACT...it is a GOOD game, but it's no SvR. It is a great beginning for the MIDWAY/ TNA wrestling series, though.

Now, if you haven't got it, go to your nearest GAMESTOP OR EBGAMES and get your SvR DEMO for PS3. It's a great 'teaser' that gives you 4 characters (HBK, Triple H, Matt & Jeff Hardy). The load times are non-existent and the gameplay is tight. Controls are quick to pick up and the graphics are good. There is a little collision detection (A HUGE issue with SvR 2007 & 2008), but it only occurred once during umpteenth plays of the demo. Unfortunately, only normal match types (Single & Tag) are available, but what do your expect from a demo? The Tag Teams are the crown jewel or this game and the demo showcases this well.

If you are a wrestling and wrestling video game fan...pick this up ASAP (and if you don't play...get it for your little brother/ sister to play...it will be like watching WWE Live)"
