    Good game, i like it. Looks great, plays quite smoothly, but a few bugs in my opinion. Loading times are awful, the characters move a little too slowly for me, there are several characters that I don't recognise (and i watch it all the time) and the crowd are abit quiet, which sort of makes it a little boring at times. Good though!

    From the spiffy graphics to the more right analog stick-centric controls to the robust Create-A-Superstar to the new WWE 24/7 career mode, this is SmackDown as its finest. [Dec 2007, p.72]
  2. PSM3 Magazine UK

    Still fun and still addictive, but the new grapple styles add little and the old flaws remain. [Dec 2007, p.68]
  3. GamePro

    This isn't a title for the casual gamer, but if you're a fan of the franchise or just really love throwing half-naked men off ladders and pinning them to the ground, then SvR 2008 is about as good as it gets. [Dec 2007, p.124]
