SvR 2009 Is the game that made me a wrestling fan, me and my brother played the Rey and Batista RTWM and Rey became my favorite wrestler, then I played Undertakers RTWM and I thought he was awesome, and I've been a fan of pro wrestling ever since.
He changed his theme song to "Voices in my head" because he absolutely hated "Burn in my light". He especially hated it because WWE superstars, according to Randy Orton, aren't allowed to choose their own theme songs. At one point, he actually even considered "This fire burns" to be his new theme, but the WWE creative didn't think it suited him. Of course, he only was allowed to use it for about one week, but that's it. Then, they gave it to CM Punk, who was new at the time. It wasn't until...I'd say about, sometime during 2008 that "Voices in my head" was born or something like that.
Honestly, I never understood why people liked this or SVR 08. Maybe they're merely complacent with a product that isn't necessarily awful but terribly barebones. There was nothing at all special about these games when we had something so much better in games prior. SVR '06 and '07 had deeper gameplay elements like double KO. At least '08 also had GM mode but a terrible "story mode" which might've as well been nonexistent. Backstage arenas were a lot better in '06 and '07, and '08 only had one to choose from. '09 didn't even have championship creation. Fighting stances and moving animations were removed when they added personality. The movepools were also completely gutted and added to the monotony. Although, 2008's addition of extended weapon grapples was a very cool touch. RTWM is a mixed bag for me since I think 06 and 07's stories were long and a lot more entertaining, but I love how the stories are more personal to the small selection of wrestlers there are to choose from.
The game is great, the problem is that they eliminated the Gm Mode and the Season Mode, and also the legends like StoneCold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart and others were missed, a curious fact is that Goldberg was going to appear here but since the legends were not going to appear then the idea was discarded.
I always loved this game for the Road to Wrestlemania mode. Brings back great memories of playing as Triple H and Undertaker trying to collect all unlockables.
He said he disliked the game but you could tell while he was playing this game he realised how much better this game is than the b.s 2k has been feeding us SMVSRAW was a great game
This was my first WWE game and still one of my favs... I remember in this game there was a 6-man match that was an elimination match by pin/submission with no dqs or countouts (so basically a six pack challenge).... that was the only match I played... sucks u cant do it anymore and its not the same if u make it in the match creator cuz u still cant leave the ring also I played on the wii version which had the thing where u control ur entrance and u could control what u do after the match (celebrate on top rope, attack opponent with finisher/chairs etc, help opponent and raise their hand, throw them out of the ring and a lot more) also the wii version had thumbtacks. 10/10
I think 2009 had better match gameplay and a better story mode. Road to WrestleMania in 09 is way better than the 24/7 superstar season mode in 08. But I did cry and still do when I think about how 2009 erased GM Mode. It left me with nothing to do once I finished RTW and got tired of exhibition.
That's a good first game I used to play the smack down vs raw games all the time when I was a little kid I had all of them I recently got back into wwe so it makes me miss these old games with the old rosters
I was mad at this game because gm mode would of been really nice on this game. 08 was missing a lot of ecw wrestlers but 09 had a lot of ecw wrestlers to use the ecw show in gm mode.
What I like about this old www games is the finishers they hit at perfect time. Whereas when you charge to hit finisher on 2k they wait like 2/3 seconds before hitting the finisher
I loved this game back when I was 11 or 12 and I still think it's pretty fun today (in my opinion). This was my first wrestling game and it's alright. Decent roster, rtw was pretty good, the graphics aren't too bad for 2008 and the soundtrack was great. Burning halo - save me is my favourite song
I agree with him I have this game and still play it and honestly it's really boring there's not much to do after you finish the road to wrestlemania I would honestly say I like SVR 2008 as my favorite
The soundtrack for this game was really good. Maybe not the best WWE game, but I did like that you could have this roster in WWE Legends of Wrestlemania. I also loved Create-A-Finisher! This game wasn’t bad to be honest.
The people that made the THQ games where so much better then the people from that second rate company 2k. You don't really recognize how good a company is until its gone. I remember as a kid I would be kibda hard on THQ for only having 60 to 75 wrestlers in the game or a maximum of 6 superstars in the ring at once in a royal rumble but if you truly think about it i would rather have those problems with the game and the game running smoothly rather than a game that has to much and is rushed to store shelves before its complete like the trash 2k puts out
Lol, I'm watching this during me playing 2K18 and winning WWE Championship to Dolph Ziggler, do please something like Custom Promotion GM Mode in 2K18, like you will pick few guys from WWE and few created guys and create week show, titles, etc, I would LOVE this
I loved everything about this game. I used to play with my cousins multiplayer. Lol. Soundtrack was great, truly nostalgic. It was the game that got me into WWE. Used to play as Jeff Hardy my favorite wrestler.
I'm extremely grateful of how you speak your mind, TGO. Even if it's unpopular. This is you channel, with your opinions. And I've never understood why so many people liked '09. At least back then. Maybe they were unaware of them being screwed over? '08 and '09 were just the half-assed, full-price barebones minimum. THQ fell off from HCTP with SVR, but were still on a decent track before those. '06 is a helluva lot better of a game than those later two could ever dream of being. Give me any other franchise were you gut a ton of features that made them great, yet expect full-price, and I don't think fans would be happy. Yet, wrestling fans were complacent with the bullshit practices they were served.
Only issue I had was the caw/attributes system. It was frustrating to build up caws to respectable levels. Made it to where I had no interest in caw mode. Easy solution would have been a reward system in which you unlock unlimited attributes for completing a task, which was done in previous games.
Have you played these games on psp I remember I used to have to get the psp version because my ps2's always broke on me until I got a slim I played Smackdown vs raw 2006-2009 psp
It wasn't that great offline,but the *online is where it shined the most* @svr2009. I spent hours on end creating characters and playing with friends online in player matches (hell in a cell and hardcore matches) and ranking up online (fighting tryhards that like to use rey myesterio roll,chick gut kick,goldberg face kick (from hctp),freeze gltiching,and the dang spinning takawando kick using noobs/cheap players lol) P.s: This was my first wrestling game I ever played online back in (2009-2010) I had a blast :)
In fact to increase the overall of your CAS you must go to the Career Mode and fight in a good time attacking with objects, reversing attacks, hitting punches and kicks, making holds and teasing too. The soundtrack sounds very good and there is also a very varied roster and the best thing is that you set out to fight superstar against a diva; the bad things are that it is only in a simple match without a special stipulation (Ladder, Cage Match, HIAC, Extreme Rules, etc.), it is a little tedious to increase to 100 the rank of the fighter and that you can not create your own titantron video as in the later games. In fact I already won with a diva all the Championships of the company for days and now its current overall is 85; Now I am unlocking everything but first with another CAS base male I must unlock the Hardcore Championship and continue to increase their skills. Greetings from Medellín.
Its not my worst wrestling game j ever played that belongs to 2k20 but I will say it's not in my top5: SVR 07 was lit so much to do and same with svr11
I played svr 2007 the most and this one the least. After Road to Wrestlemania there really is nothing you can do. GM mode gave the games replayability why did they even remove that.
Corame he talks about them a lot and he still plays 2K. And always says everything is better from the past than today. You can clearly tell he barely started watching WWE
I loved this game. The RTWM stories were awesome and I loved the sound track, SVR 09 had the coolest sound track. I replayed the RTWM multiple times, till I got tired of it. SVR 09 is my second favorite WWE game behind SVR 2011 and my 3rd favorite game of all time. Behind SVR 11 and Skyrim. I haven't played many games, since 2013, I quit playing video games so I could sell my Xbox 360 and my games for money. I wish I had never sold it now I'm 16, but it was for the best now I save money from not playing games and also spend my time doing more productive stuff, but sometimes I miss it.
Lol ur logic is dumb im married work and have kids but i still play my games once in a while u can be productive and ur still a kid so enjoy ur self bro
I liked the SvR games better than the 2k games
Just for the nostalgia factor or what?
Cuz in terms of realism 2K is way better than SVR. Tho SVR 11 is the best I've ever played.
S H A N K Y 48 svr 11 is my favorite WWE game.
+S H A N K Y 48 not just nostalgia but the story mode and Gm mode and Create a story
The only good SVR game was 2006. All of the other ones were mediocre at best or just flat out terrible (SVR2008).
I prefer some of them more too but mainly just because of the roster
I loved the crap outta of svr 2009
MasterOid ikr one of my favorites. Brings me back to the summer of 2009.
Q1T - Gameboy Yup so good Still have it on my PS2 Silm and it’s great.

Do you guys enjoy these gaming videos?
yes
TheGreatOne! I enjoy your forehead. CAWK
TheGreatOne! YES! YES! YES!
TheGreatOne! oh and this wwe game was my first game
Yes
Orton changed his theme song because he was transitioning from Legend Killer to The Viper. But imo it worked
He also didn't like his original theme
@@lukedunne1710 But fans loved it as well.
The only thing i hated about svr 2009 was that the RKO was only triggered from the ground
not sure but I think at the move editor are 3 other variations of the RKO and I think one was standing .
WTF SvR '09 was great
The game was boring but great sound track tho
Nah it was the thing that got me hooked on wwe
Xans in my sock Bo
ring?? Are you in drugs or something??
Daniel G.O. its a opinion
I fap over that game
First WWE game was this and it got me into wrestling.
Same!!
Had it on ps3
Same!!
Same
Holy shit. Same. I love the sense of unity over this game in the responses hahaha the soundtrack STILL hits DIFFERENT
svr 2009 is fun but after the road to wrestlemania is done there was nothing else to do
TL B make your own dream matches??
Big Smoke
That's not fun at all.
I played my career mode on the hardest
Oh man this soundtrack brings back memories....

The only downside to SvR 2009 is that it took out GM Mode which I will never understand.
In 2008 there was nothing wrong about GM mode just the roster was small at the time
Are you kidden me this was one of my best games.and i remmber it had the gm mode
saud al arfaj it did not.
Random Guy and 06
saud al arfaj it didn’t tho and did you go to school because you need to learn how to spell
This game was awful
WE CAN'T SEE JOHN CENAS NIPPS
They're censored!

YEBOICHEESYDISI MUSIC they're on the menu you just can't see them
Well its your opinion but i actually loved this game so much
Moises _Hernandez ikr
Same!!
Why? Lmao, there was literally nothing to do in this game after RTWM. One of the very worst wrestling games ever made
@@ducatussanctisabae7823 Then what kept you playing wwe games? universe mode?
@@DevilsFavoriteMan this game didn't even have rock or Austin and the roster at the time sucked

I actually enjoyed 2009 and the soundtrack was awesome only thing this game missed was gm mode if only... and also had a great roster too....
SD vs raw 09 was the first wrestling games to focus on tag team gameplay. Hot tag and tag team finisher were nice details.
The game is great, the problem is that they eliminated the Gm Mode and the Season Mode, and also the legends like StoneCold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart and others were missed, a curious fact is that Goldberg was going to appear here but since the legends were not going to appear then the idea was discarded.
Bring GM Mode back man!
Baveshen Pillay universe mode mate.
ShogunSho universe mode is jus very broken gm mode. Trust me it's nothing to gm mode
Theepicgaming52 agreed. Universe mode is trash.
They are
@@theepicgaming5260 totally exactly. universe mode is so broken it takes the entire purpose and fun out.
I always loved this game for the Road to Wrestlemania mode. Brings back great memories of playing as Triple H and Undertaker trying to collect all unlockables.

svr 2009 had the best campaign on rey mysterio and batista mode
Why did you have to make Jeff take the pin?
Baveshen Pillay because Jeff shit and over rated
star man L
star man shut up
Baveshen Pillay because I'm better than Jeff and always will be 😂😂😂
Well because it's a triple threat and you have to pin anyone and he just coincidentally pinned Jeff Hardy.
I remember playing as Tommy Dreamer every time. He was my favorite ECW star.
How do you hate this game
Vegeta Gaming because it's boring
No gm mode ,no universe mode
Awesome Nacho 3 road to Wrestlemania??
No season mode
JOHN.T I played this game for 10 hours no joke
I personally like SVR 2008 more, but SVR 2009 was still a lot of fun.

damn im sorry to hear that
Same!
@@LordRoyalTee Lol the same year i've bought here comes the pain and svr 2008 that game made me love wrestlibg
The only issues I have with the game are Lack Of Legends, absent Season Mode And Create mode was limited
NO JOKE HERE : SVR 09 WAS THE FIRST
FUKIN VIDEO GAME IVE PLAYED
That's a good first game I used to play the smack down vs raw games all the time when I was a little kid I had all of them I recently got back into wwe so it makes me miss these old games with the old rosters

I LOVED This WWE Game As A KID, idk why. Try to play this with friends.
Always loved that neckbreaker animation at 7:44, looks so brutal.
Smackdown vs Raw 09 was lit, road to wrestlemania was fun

hey in which system/emulator are u playing?
A WWE game where there were different commentators depending on the arena you chose. Something I wish the WWE 2K games could do.
I love your videos the great one!! Coming from the U.S. keep up the great work
The only thing that I didnt like was the fact they didnt add Legends
I'm extremely grateful of how you speak your mind, TGO. Even if it's unpopular. This is you channel, with your opinions. And I've never understood why so many people liked '09. At least back then. Maybe they were unaware of them being screwed over?
'08 and '09 were just the half-assed, full-price barebones minimum. THQ fell off from HCTP with SVR, but were still on a decent track before those. '06 is a helluva lot better of a game than those later two could ever dream of being. Give me any other franchise were you gut a ton of features that made them great, yet expect full-price, and I don't think fans would be happy. Yet, wrestling fans were complacent with the bullshit practices they were served.
Please do svr 2010. They have the best roster in my opinion
And best soundtrack in any wrestling game
Nice thumbnail of Rey Mysterio holding the WWE title with JOHN CENA’S FUCKING NAME ON THE NAMEPLATE
2011, 12 and 13 were my three favortieez. In 13 u can play as the old versions of characters and u don’t even need dlc
Only issue I had was the caw/attributes system. It was frustrating to build up caws to respectable levels. Made it to where I had no interest in caw mode. Easy solution would have been a reward system in which you unlock unlimited attributes for completing a task, which was done in previous games.
Have you played these games on psp I remember I used to have to get the psp version because my ps2's always broke on me until I got a slim I played Smackdown vs raw 2006-2009 psp
This game was so bad unless u had a sibling for multiplayer it had a bad roster and no content
You're not the only one. I hated this game too. No season modes and no unlockable WWE legends. This game sucked.
It wasn't that great offline,but the *online is where it shined the most* @svr2009. I spent hours on end creating characters and playing with friends online in player matches (hell in a cell and hardcore matches) and ranking up online (fighting tryhards that like to use rey myesterio roll,chick gut kick,goldberg face kick (from hctp),freeze gltiching,and the dang spinning takawando kick using noobs/cheap players lol)
P.s: This was my first wrestling game I ever played online back in (2009-2010) I had a blast :)
SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 is the best wwe game made
This game is my entire childhood-
I just hated the camera angle when out from ring
Svr 2009 was MY game...it was the first WWE game I ever played....and the CM Punk, Jericho and Triple H Road to Wrestlemania was amazing!!
In fact to increase the overall of your CAS you must go to the Career Mode and fight in a good time attacking with objects, reversing attacks, hitting punches and kicks, making holds and teasing too. The soundtrack sounds very good and there is also a very varied roster and the best thing is that you set out to fight superstar against a diva; the bad things are that it is only in a simple match without a special stipulation (Ladder, Cage Match, HIAC, Extreme Rules, etc.), it is a little tedious to increase to 100 the rank of the fighter and that you can not create your own titantron video as in the later games. In fact I already won with a diva all the Championships of the company for days and now its current overall is 85; Now I am unlocking everything but first with another CAS base male I must unlock the Hardcore Championship and continue to increase their skills. Greetings from Medellín.
This was the 2nd worst SVR game behind the 1st one
Gaming videos are awesome and so entertaining keep making them. You rock!
svr 2009 was the first ever wwe game i played this was a hit not a disappointed game
loved this game had 2 of my favorite wrestlers Boogeyman and big daddy v aka viscera r.i.p Nelson Frazier
Orton's animations in this game were spot on. Definitely one of my faves
The lack of legends is why I didnt like the game. I know its because of the The Legends of WrestleMania and the port system.
Its not my worst wrestling game j ever played that belongs to 2k20 but I will say it's not in my top5: SVR 07 was lit so much to do and same with svr11
This one was Dope, You Buggin Bro, better than 2011
51 VIEWS AND 54 LIKES.
GREAT JOB TH-cam!
I loved this game on wii, the motion controls were pretty good
i thought this was the best WWE game. Road to WM, Career Mode and the soundtrack was amazing
“Nostalgia is one hell of a drug” boy I felt that.
I played svr 2007 the most and this one the least. After Road to Wrestlemania there really is nothing you can do. GM mode gave the games replayability why did they even remove that.
Why is he acting like he played these (SvR) games as a kid? Which he didn't.
Oreo_ Money he did
Corame how do know that?
Oreo_ Money well why do you think he didn't
Corame he talks about them a lot and he still plays 2K. And always says everything is better from the past than today. You can clearly tell he barely started watching WWE
2009 was the best wtf you been smoking
I miss those videos... Bring them back
yo just hearing the old refs counting brings me back ;(
They had like 5 Road to Wrestlemania storylines. What do you mean there’s nothing to do after. That was alot
Svr for life
SvR 2009 is one of the most underrated games in the WWE game series
This was my first video game ever when I first got a PS2. I played this for so many years this is definitely my favorite game ever
I loved this game,the reason good rtwm and easy to play and one of the best sound track pretty good game
Pls do sd vs raw 2006!
phoenix 99 the game was just called smackdown vs raw not with the 2005
Braden Miller sorry i mean 2006
Ok it's alright I just figured I'd correct you
Braden Miller yeah thank you
Your right 2005 was the first SvR then there was SvR 2006. 2006 had the first gm mode and its my fav gm mode i have played
Why do you hate this, this was the reason why I love WWE
I also loved the svr games better then 2k because it was so simple no stamina and finisher limit bullshit and you could just have fun and dominate
2009 was the game that confused me as a kid
Why don't you go into Randy Ortons moveset and change the RKO to a standing one
Most of peoples hate this game because no features from 08 in my opinion this game very good.
I like you gaming videos🙂
This game has open the gate for me to watch wrestling. This game is the reason why i love wrestling.
I loved this game. The RTWM stories were awesome and I loved the sound track, SVR 09 had the coolest sound track. I replayed the RTWM multiple times, till I got tired of it.

I wish I had never sold it now I'm 16, but it was for the best now I save money from not playing games and also spend my time doing more productive stuff, but sometimes I miss it.
Lol ur logic is dumb im married work and have kids but i still play my games once in a while u can be productive and ur still a kid so enjoy ur self bro
This is one of best WWE games that I ever played
So much nostalgia bruh
