— WWE’s new videogame Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 Featuring ECW was released yesterday and is now available for all major video game systems. Gaming website IGN.com reviewed the game and gave it a 7.9/10 (“Good”). You can read the entire review here. Here are the closing comments from IGN writer Greg Miller’s review:

In the end, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 is a good game but one that falls short of its potential. The Roster Editor is a welcome addition, Create-A-Finisher could be deeper but is a great first effort, the Inferno Match is over-the-top but fun, and Road to WrestleMania is one of the best story modes I’ve seen in a wrestling game in years. However, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m playing last year’s game when we get down to the nitty gritty match mechanics. Entrances, match list presentation, animations, and even a couple crowd members are recycled from SVR 08; pixilated audience members in the upper deck and six-man matches causing framerate drops haven’t even been addressed; and the ECW Extreme Rules match has been gimped.
