S.V.R 2009

I think Smackdown vs Raw 2009 is much better than last year's game.

This time, the Wii version has introduced ladder and TLC matches which I thought was an unwise omission in 2008.

I was also glad to find the 'Hell in a Cell' stipulation in the Nintendo version after knowing it was on the Playstation and X-Box consoles for years.

One thing I found annoying about the new release was the change in controls. I got used to the buttons and motions in the 2008 game and I need to habituate myself with the different moves for 2009.

With all that said - the thing I welcomed the most about the 2009 game is online play.

I didn't expect it after it was missing last year so - when I opened the present and noticed the 'Wi-Fi' label on the cover - I was surprised.

I've had one go at the online mode and won. Those who know me will be reminded of the dreadful online record I hold at Madden '08 so the 1-0 on Smackdown vs Raw is something I am going to cherish.

Until the next game.

I know there's some young kid out in the world who will end up kicking my ass sooner or later.

Even scarier, I know it's going to happen sooner rather than soon!
