Gameplay Features
Superstar Fighting Styles (New for 2008)
With eight Superstar Fighting Styles to choose from, playing WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 will never be the same. Each fighting style has its own unique strategy.
The styles have exclusive moves, abilities, attributes, and more. Take the fight into your own hands and feel the power of the Superstars.
Struggle Submission System (New for 2008)
The new Struggle Submission System gives players intuitive and natural control over their WWE Superstars using the right analog stick. Realism and strategy are at the forefront as players can now control the amount of pressure they apply.
Once a Struggle Submission has been locked in, simply move and hold the right analog stick in any direction to wrench your opponent. As you wrench your opponent, keep an eye on your Superstar's grip icon located above your Superstar's momentum meter.
The grip icon is a visual indicator of your Superstar's current grip on your opponent. As an opponent is wrenched, the icon will gradually change to reflect your Superstar's loosening grip. To restore your grip, return to the neutral position by releasing hold of the right analog stick.
While resting in the neutral position, the defensive opponent can attempt to escape from the hold. Move and hold the right analog stick in any direction to initiate an escape attempt.
Defensive opponents suffering from minimal to no limb damage will be able to power out of Struggle Submissions much more quickly than opponents suffering from moderate to severe limb damage.
Hall of Fame (New for 2008)
Compete in a number of Direct Challenge Mode matches, reliving some of the greatest matches in WWE history, and accomplish a number of other gameplay related goals on your path to WWE immortality.
Can you change history as the underdog, or will events play out just like they did? You're in control.
ECW Presence (New for 2008)
ECW invades WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 with new Superstars, weapons and announcers, along with new arenas and the introduction of the all-new ECW Extreme Rules Match.
WWE 24/7 Mode (New for 2008)

Quick Grapples
Quick grapples are difficult to reverse, low-damage attacks that are performed free of a grappled state. Simply move the right analog stick up, down, left or right to perform a different quick grapple attack.
Each Superstar is equipped with four front and four rear Quick Grapple attacks. Quick Grapples are a great way to work over an opponent during the early minutes of a match. Each Superstar's Quick Grapple move-set can be edited in the Create A Move-Set option.
Strong Grapples
Strong Grapple moves inflict more damage than quick grapples, but are also easier to reverse due to their slow reach movement. Unlike quick grapples, Strong Grapples can only be performed while in a grappled state.
To lock your opponent in a grappled state, press and hold the R1 button and move the right analog stick or .

When caught in the clutches of an Ultimate Control Grapple, press the button to strike your opponent, stunning them in the process. Take advantage of their stunned state by rapidly moving the right analog stick back and forth to wiggle out of
