I think thq should have a lot of entrance attires like in SvR 2010, the same type of physics as 2011, separate reversal buttons like before, Season/ Story mode like the Original SvR- 2008, better use of cutscenes and storylines in Universe, and bigger arenas. Those are what i believe are needed. Things like gm and create a title are extra necessities
I love wrestling games, been playing them since the 90s and I love them. This was my first next gen wrestling game and it didn't disappoint. Although I prefer SVR06 and 07 on the PS2, this is definitely a great game. SVR is the only sports game that I buy every year.
looked better than 2k played better than 2k had better stories than 2k bring back smackdown vs raw ... :( would have been a mad 2020 debute but I guess it will never happen.
This game really isn’t half as bad as people say it is. Yeah it eliminated GM Mode which made part of my soul die. But it has great game play and an awesome Road To Wrestlemania. SvR 2009 is definitely not the worst SvR game like some people say it is. For me it’s better than SvR and SvR 2008.
I agree with the create-a-finisher. Why limit what can be done the further into it you get? I mean, why not let us really create the finisher we want. In fact, give us the option of being able to really edit moves by adjusting each body part just like the game Fighting Game Tsukuru...
5 things better in HCTP than 09: 1. Better Season Mode, more stuff to do 2. More moves 3. Divas/female CAWs can wrestle in any match 4. All CAWs can be used in Season Mode 5. A slightly better roster
***** its in 2k15 only for ps4 and xbox one versions. And you get to start out as a superstar training going to main even of wrestlemania.i have it on my ps4.
I remember getting this game for the wii. It is better than svr 2008. It had more match types, more weapons, and fun road to wrestlemanias. Even though that Undertaker one was pretty terrible. But still it's a fun game and a big improvement over svr 2008 wii version.
In my opinion, this is the game that ruined the series. SVR 2008 was bad compared to 2007 but SVR 2009 took away all the replayability. After I won the titles, what could I do next? There were no storylines to play though and no general manager mode either. That road to wrestlemania mode took away every aspect of a wrestling career and replaced it with a linear storyline that didn't even let you use your created character. I liked to be fully immersed in the world and this game removed it. After this game the story mode didn't really recover till WWE13 which only had a decent story mode because it was basically a history lesson that I could nostalgia at. Overall, practically all the Smackdown games before this one had aout a year of replayability. This one had a month at most. That alone destroyed this series.
You make some great points. I agree fully with you on the fact that this game was a big blow to the series soon after. However, Smackdown vs. RAW 2011 wasn't too bad. WWE Universe -- in my opinion -- was a good mode to build on, and they have done so. But Road to Wrestlemania still sucked, especially the voice overs - just horrific script-reading and lip syncing! That lead to the end of the mode in WWE '12, which had the WORST Road to Wrestlemania ever. It was boring, nonsensical, and a complete joke overall. It was a wasted mode, tbh. One of my biggest gripes on the series (as of late) is that the core gameplay experience has been practically the same since Smackdown vs. RAW 2008. Yeah, they added their little tweaks and textures AROUND it, but we fans want a bit more to the table. Not to mention the animations are quite lackluster. Now back to Smackdown vs. RAW 2009. The game is OKAY at best. The addition of Road to Wrestlemania was a 7 at best, so attempting to play the game a full year wouldn't have been easy since -- for what ever reason -- they decided to remove GM mode - a terrible decision, really.
***** The thing is that you could play them again differently and get a completely different storyline. You could be on a different show (which lead to different storylines), you could choose different options (changing the storyline) or you could even deliberately lose a match and that would possibly throw the story in a completely different direction. Not to mention GM mode. No game is 100% replayable - but the SVR series prior to 2009 was one of the most replayable games I've played.
aListers I disagree, SmackDown vs Raw 2009 wasn't the worst, it still had some good gameplay, graphics, modes, and everything. I personally think SVR 2010 ruined the series.
Yeah...it kinda did. Before 2010, all the games focused on something 2007- New physics and graphics 2008- ECW and hardcore gameplay 2009- Tag Team all those games had pretty good graphics and focused on the gameplay afterwards. 2010 brought new graphics to the WWE games, but didn't offer much else. 2011 was ok as well, they only did good with the physics. WWE 12 didn't have as great of graphics as 2008 and 2009 imo, but it had a HUGE roster, offered a new WWE universe mode, and better gameplay.
2k16 finally has the move i tried to make in caf before, the 1 you said i think firemans carry cutter. 2009 and 2010 were better games then 2k16. where is the grapple with weapons anyway or the easy irish whip to corners..
I think the wwe video game creators should step it up a notch and let fans decide what they want to see in wrestling games.Instead of them choosing what they want in the games.Because if fans choose,then wwe games might become good again.
Thanks for the fair reply =D I too like customization. I created 2 characters from some of my videos in caw. And I don't know what it is about everything getting reversed on me. It's just like I might as well put the controller down and not even play. But,yeah,hopefully 2010 will be better.
Is this the PS2 version or the PS3 version? What is the difference from the PS3 version for the PS2 version? Only the graphics? Greetings from switzerland
Svr 09 SUCKED!!! They took out: Gm mode Story mode Challenges Legends! Create your own belt!!! No going into crowds anymore!! Its the reason why wwe 12 sucks
Well before 2011 I think that they worried about graphics way too much. In 2011 and 2012 they focused more on the moves and roster instead of graphics which I think was a good choice. It made the games funner. I still find myself playing old school WWF and WCW games for PS1, because I like the gameplay a lot more then the graphics.
1. needs gm mode back but improved from the last attempts 2. career mode needs major improvement 3. anything else they can come up with so it isnt the same as last year
ti me the thing that makes these games r 5 things: Roster, Match types, anything doing with create a superstar, story modes (gm mode, wtwm mode, etc.), and storylines
You can use a created superstar in Road To WrestleMania. All you have to do is take your created superstar and copy his move set to your Road To WrestleMania character. Create a random superstar and copy your Road To WrestleMania character. Once your created superstars move set is with your Road To WrestleMania character then you're set.
I was really disappointed with the Smackdown Vs. Raw games, its always felt if something were missing. All the characters felt very similar and there wasnt as many move variety as there should be.
A few things I have to say bad about this game are: 1. Why can't you do stuff like chokeslams and Suplexes and stuff through the Announcer Table anymore? 2. Maybe a little more stuff for Hardcore action?
i don't think you're the only one i enjoyed 2007 and played that game to this very day, but when i played 2009 i haven't played it since march because its so hard to make good caws with good stats
Yes, GM is the bomb, but I was more referring to the superstar version, not GM. I love fantasy, that's why I still play 06, for the GM mode. In 2008 you have to play through injuries and it gets boring. Just watch IGN's review of 08. You'll see what I mean.
I kind don't like how they release a new game every year because then it makes me not want to put as much effort into my CAWs, entrances, finishers etc because a new game will come out a year later. I think they should release a game every 2-3 years and really make each game special and unique, and stop with this yearly stuff, I will probably get 2010 but still, it'll probably be the last one I get.
ill agree that it sucks that you cant play your custom music online, but think about it, do u really wanna wait till the song uploads from ur console to the net just so u can litsen to your entrance that youre prob gonna cut?, the controls are great. maybe youre just a button masher ;)

how did I find you here striker lol
Lol hey Eliminator. I just noticed my comment is one of the top ones right now on this video lol.
Used to play this game all the time when I was a kid!

A lot of memories with this one
OMG my childhood

Watching all of these SVR reviews because nostalgia.
My favorite was SVR7.
The nostalgia i miss playing on my playstation 2

2010 was one of the best WWE gms move wise. Last gm to feature true low blows. That's abysmal!

looked better than 2k
played better than 2k
had better stories than 2k
bring back smackdown vs raw ... :( would have been a mad 2020 debute but I guess it will never happen.
Only major downside to SvR 2009 is No GM Mode
The best wwe game still remains SvR 2007 and HCTP but this is also good :)
I'll throw WWE 2K19 in that mix too
Just picked this up for A little nostalgia
This game really isn’t half as bad as people say it is. Yeah it eliminated GM Mode which made part of my soul die. But it has great game play and an awesome Road To Wrestlemania. SvR 2009 is definitely not the worst SvR game like some people say it is. For me it’s better than SvR and SvR 2008.
"Better game than last years" BULLSHIT. The game BLOWS compared to WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008
but had a better gameplay, even if improvements are only a few
Grizzlygaming88 Lol what are you talking about you crazy old bat?
Young Yachty He’s talking about the fact that this game was literally the WORST incarnation of the SvR series
The one thing i prefer 08 over 09 is the legends such as eddie guerrero Terry funk brat hart etc
I don't want to play as "the mask man"
I agree with the create-a-finisher. Why limit what can be done the further into it you get? I mean, why not let us really create the finisher we want. In fact, give us the option of being able to really edit moves by adjusting each body part just like the game Fighting Game Tsukuru...
Nice review you've encouraged me to get the game even more now
5 things better in HCTP than 09:
1. Better Season Mode, more stuff to do
2. More moves
3. Divas/female CAWs can wrestle in any match
4. All CAWs can be used in Season Mode
5. A slightly better roster
damn I really enjoyed this game..upgrading my character all the time..so much fun
***** its in 2k15 only for ps4 and xbox one versions. And you get to start out as a superstar training going to main even of wrestlemania.i have it on my ps4.
Most SVR players hate this game because no features from 09 lol this game is way better than 12 13 14 15 16 17 and 18 WWE games.
haha im getting used to this greg character every year
The one thing I hate about this game is that everyone you wrestle almost always ends up reversing everything you throw at them.
I remember getting this game for the wii. It is better than svr 2008. It had more match types, more weapons, and fun road to wrestlemanias. Even though that Undertaker one was pretty terrible. But still it's a fun game and a big improvement over svr 2008 wii version.
What was that? Oh sorry, I was too busy creating my own finisher.
2008 and 2006 Bring back memories for, but this and 2011 look good.
In my opinion, this is the game that ruined the series. SVR 2008 was bad compared to 2007 but SVR 2009 took away all the replayability. After I won the titles, what could I do next? There were no storylines to play though and no general manager mode either.

Greetings from switzerland
I'm getting this game for Christmas. Is it one of those games you get bored of quickly?
Not only that, but also like he's rushing through it to get it over with.
Greg Miller has a CAW, and it's name is Gruesome Greggy.
2009 isn't bad, but can be much better. It's much better than 2008.
congratulations greg you won intercontinental championship
I miss these days
wish they'd make something like smackdown vs raw 2006 or smackdown vs raw with the stories where you can choose whoever you want
I love 2007 and 2009. The gameplay is better than in 2010 and better than in 2008. It's very similar to 2007 with a few improvements.
Let people who love WWE enjoy it.
Don`t say things that offend people for no reason.
Svr 09 SUCKED!!!
They took out:
Gm mode
Story mode
Challenges
Legends!
Create your own belt!!!
No going into crowds anymore!!
Its the reason why wwe 12 sucks
BrandonC580 Legends were in as DLC. But yeah, 09's awful
This is teh first Wrestling game ive EVER tried and I LOVE IT!!! Its defiantly good for being your first...

Good memories back n 3rd grade getting this 4 Christmas a Wii & this game then on my B-Day Jan.21 I got a P.S.P. & this game
The combat engine hasnt changed since Smackdown Here comes the Pain!..
ti me the thing that makes these games r 5 things: Roster, Match types, anything doing with create a superstar, story modes (gm mode, wtwm mode, etc.), and storylines
one of the best road to wrestlemania games ever
Great game,with the best match types and best road to wrestlemania! You must get this game, Chris Jericho's story was the best...EVEEERRRRRRRRR!
You played SvR 2011? Best Road To Wrestlemanias ever
You can use a created superstar in Road To WrestleMania. All you have to do is take your created superstar and copy his move set to your Road To WrestleMania character. Create a random superstar and copy your Road To WrestleMania character. Once your created superstars move set is with your Road To WrestleMania character then you're set.
I'm not even a huge fan of wrestling I just got it cause I love the customization tools.
WWE "STILL rules" because of the Attitude era, if it wasnt for those Attitude era, WCW would have probably bought WWE.
Still better then any of the 2k garbage.
At least the controls work in these!
This game was like my first wwe game
i miss the shut your mouth and here comes the pain days, a merge of old and new would be awesome
dont worry about the abilities. Updates will change that and is coming soon.
2009 doesn't have the crap 24/7 mode that 08 has. 09 has improved tag team stuff, too.
imo the SvR series hit its peak with 2006
i like all the SVR's but my personal fav is 10 because the realism is crazy.
does 2010 have that bad camera like 09 did when u go out of the ring? or where u have to go through story mode to get caws stats up? please answer
I was really disappointed with the Smackdown Vs. Raw games, its always felt if something were missing. All the characters felt very similar and there wasnt as many move variety as there should be.
2007 the best
A few things I have to say bad about this game are:
1. Why can't you do stuff like chokeslams and Suplexes and stuff through the Announcer Table anymore?
2. Maybe a little more stuff for Hardcore action?
i really enjoyed this game.....i didnt even bother to buy another wrestling game until wwe 13 came out.
This game was pretty cool, but I still think SYM, HCTP, & SvR06 are better.
Here is hoping GM Mode returns in 2010.
While playing the PS2 version of this game, it didn't take long for me to feel a great sadness.
NO FUCKING WAY!!!! I got 2010 for christmas!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS
i don't think you're the only one i enjoyed 2007 and played that game to this very day, but when i played 2009 i haven't played it since march because its so hard to make good caws with good stats
2006 felt like the best one for me.
I loved this game so much.
in someones opinion which one is worth buying? this 09 10 or 11? i havent played past 07 tbh
Yes, GM is the bomb, but I was more referring to the superstar version, not GM. I love fantasy, that's why I still play 06, for the GM mode. In 2008 you have to play through injuries and it gets boring. Just watch IGN's review of 08. You'll see what I mean.
tag team is the only frickin' thing they changed in game play it gets REALLY old REALLY fast still a good game though
Over 60 superstars... damn it felt like there were loads more
06 and here comes the pain...
yeah i also like that earn your ability thing but the problem is if you want to create more superstars, then you need to do career mode again
it was so awesome the new york streets where you would do a frog splash from on top of a building....awesome game they should've made a hd version
Uhhh go to options and put it on Legend ?
Or did you do that already ?
roster & soundtrack was amazing
I kind don't like how they release a new game every year because then it makes me not want to put as much effort into my CAWs, entrances, finishers etc because a new game will come out a year later. I think they should release a game every 2-3 years and really make each game special and unique, and stop with this yearly stuff, I will probably get 2010 but still, it'll probably be the last one I get.
ill agree that it sucks that you cant play your custom music online, but think about it, do u really wanna wait till the song uploads from ur console to the net just so u can litsen to your entrance that youre prob gonna cut?, the controls are great. maybe youre just a button masher ;)
that would be cool (i know that is not in the game) but old ECW would be soo nice
