One of the main areas of focus for the team behind the game has been to move away from the canned animations, outlandish HUD elements, and button mashing that defined so many of the earlier games in the series. The shift in focus will be realized in a number of different new features in SVR 2008, including new fighting styles and a new submission control system.
The fighting styles should have a dramatic effect on SVR 2008's gameplay. The game will include eight fighting styles, which both the WWE wrestlers and your created grapplers will be categorized into: hardcore, high flyer, submission artist, powerhouse, brawler, showman, dirty, and technical. While in previous SVR games you've always had the ability to assign different styles to your wrestlers, the game didn't always demonstrate a good sense of internal logic--consider the fact that you could easily have big man Kane pulling off high flyer moves normally reserved for the likes of Jeff Hardy or Rey Mysterio Jr. Now that won't be the case, as the new fighting styles will place wrestlers into the roles that better suit their real-life capabilities.

Many people said that this would NOT be released on PS2 but we showed them!!!
I have no idea what the game will be like or what the hell is going on but im writing this so that i can stick it to all of the people who nearly forced me to fork out 450 for a PS3.
well i showed them
HA!
P.S. I will write another review when i know something about the game, and the ratings i gave the game are based on the last three smackdown vs raw games!

EC DUB! EC DUB! EC DUB!
Finally, the creators of Smackdown vs Raw are introducing Ecw superstars as well as WWE superstars, in the 2008 version. Smackdown vs Raw gets better every year, and there's no reason why it should get worse this year.
I've looked into the game and found out quite a lot, by seeing interviews and screen shots etc. and the graphics and general gameplay seem to look very realistic. Obviously there's going to be a bigger roster, but it will be interesting to know which superstars are being taken away from the game.
There will eight different superstar types: high flyer, hardcore, technical, powerhouse, submission artist, showman, dirty and brawler. Each superstar will have a primary fighting style, and a secondary style. Depending on what fighting style a superstar posseses, they will be able to do different things, eg, a powerhouse, (such as Bobby Lashley) will be able to do powerbombs on the steel steps, and dirty superstars will be able to defend themselves with the referee.
One of the new weapons will be a barbed wire board. Obviously there will be others, such as a singapore cane and so on. Talking about weapons, when you chose to get a weapon from underneath the ring, you will be able to pick which one you want, instead of it being randomised.
So, only a few more months to go, and I'll write another review when the game actually comes out. To find more information, just put Smackdown vs Raw 2008, ps2, into google, and visit the ign webstite and a few other ones. You should find more stuff there.

I just got this game. I don't/do really like it at all on these reasons:
Good Reasons-
There are alot of modes to play on.
The season is now much more advanced.
There are alot of Wrestlers to play as.
Bad Reasons-
The game is very slow and sluggish.
The controls are awful.
Commentary is very annoying and repetitive.
