SmackDown vs RAW 08

This game fucking blows. Alot already know this but I felt like typing this up to kill time between other pointless posts.

The Pro's: Very few good things about this game. The graphics are some of the best so far on the SvR games. Maybe better for me as I own a 360 finally and add my own music and whatever. The little trick to make created diva's look naked....not really a pro I guess but if a kid is desperate for digital "nudity" there they go.

The Con's: Not sure where to start but will go with the options of the Cheat Menu. From searching a few sites the only real "cheats" I can find are

DXCostume69K2 - Unlocks HBK and HHHs DX Attire
KellyKG12R - Unlocks Kelly Kelly's Alternate Attire

WOW! A whole cheat menu for 2 fucking codes.

Another con of the game is the more than fucked up stories in 24/7 mode. Like it's been said in previous threads it doesn't follow the right path of you beat the hell out a guy 1 week and the next it shows you shaking their damn hand. That's like saying "Sorry I kicked your ass last week in under a few minutes, lets shake and be bff!"

Another con would be using a Created Wrestler in 24/7 mode. You get him the way you want him and when you watch the entrance you get NO pyro or effects and lucky it let's you use the song you selected. When I make a character I want him to have the whole damn deal THQ you fucking dumb asses!

There are many more cons to list but will deal with that later.

Something tells me this is just the beginning of the SvR games to get worse. Sadly I can't trade this game in for cash or another BETTER game because it was a gift and don't wanna hurt a little 7 year olds feelings.

Actually Stunner, after you get like 50% done with 24/7 mode you get your entrance attire, pyro, etc. Also, I don't think people realize how little space they have on the disc compared to how much programming it would take to master such a task. The only thing that bothers me is the End of the Match animations, that's kinda inexcuseable. Also THQ has said those are the only two released cheats, there might be more I dunno. And either way, would you rather have to hold LT, RT, tap X while circling the thumbstick to use the cheats?

I know about the 50% or whatever it is and we get the full entrance but the older games let you start off with what you actually selected.

As for holding down LT RT and X that's a pain in the ass. Basically the point of my whole rant was to say that why couldn't they leave it alone and just add a few new things and add to the roster.

Since when did Rooks in the E get dramatic pyro filled entrances? >_>

You gotta think about some things though, doing the roster takes developmental time, they only had X amount of days to make this game. I admit to being disappointed that people like Shelton Benjamin, Londrick, Cade and Murdoch aren't in the game. But facts are facts, I read somewhere that it takes almost a month to create a wrestler from scratch. So that's what you're working with. I can't imagine programming a cheat menu takes much more than a day.
