Just.. crap. All the new systems(even the ladder match from last year) are flawed and inconsistent. Terrible game.

I've been playing the Smackdown games since they debuted, and last year(SVR 2007), the game was at its best I would say. The only thing I didn't like about last years game was the new ladder match system, that in order to grab the object, you had to position the sticks a certain way, and it just bothered me because none of my friends got it, as I didn't either. So what does THQ do? They introduce this concept to everything in the game practically. The submissions, the ultimate control grapples(which I actually liked), and everything else. They all rely on the analog sticks for reversals. It's retarded. The reversal system is flawed in alot of ways. The fighting styles are flawed in a ton of ways. THQ has just watered this game down so much with an over-abundance of features that it has simple become inconsistent with itself. And of course the hell in a cell match hasn't changed ever to 4 fall through spots like everyone wants. I think THQ should really start listening to the people and stick to a formula that works. Only thing the game has going for it is its kick ass CAW(Create a Wrestler) and CAE(Create an Entrance). Worth a few rentals, but I regret spending $60 on this over Assassins Creed. Don't make the same mistake I did.
I sure hope TNA puts on a game as good a game as theirs looks right now. TNA rules WWE.
