It will be the latest edition to the long-running '']'' video game series based on the ] ] (WWE). It will be the sequel to ]'s '']'', and will be the first to include ].<ref name="Eyeson" /> It will also be the first WWE game to be available for all ] game consoles.

==Features==
Each wrestler will now feature two fighting style categories, one primary and one secondary. Each fighting style will have its advantages and disadvantages in particular match types. <ref name="IGN-2">{{cite web|last=Dunham|first=Jeremy|publisher=IGN|url=http://ps3.ign.com/articles/776/776654p1.html|title=First Interview: SmackDown vs. Raw 2008|accessdate=2007-03-31}}</ref> Overall, there will be eight styles altogether which are ], ], ], powerhouse, showman, brawler, dirty and technical.<ref name="WWE.com-1">{{cite web|last=Hunt|first=Jen|publisher=WWE.com|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/exclusives/sdvraw2008|title=SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 unveiled|accessdate=2007-03-31}}</ref> The wrestler's special move however will only be based on the wrestler's primary style. <ref name="IGN-2" />
drdrdrdrdrdrdrhdvA new "struggle submission system" has been introduced, incorporating more ] into the game. The player executing the submission now can decide how much pressure is applied through moving the analog stick in a particular direction. Conversely, the player locked in a submission hold will have to power out using the analog stick.<ref name="IGN-2" />

The season mode and general manager mode from the previous games now have been merged to form the ] mode. Instead of the player fighting their way through the ranks of the ] to win a world title at ], the main quest is for the player to become a WWE legend and ultimately be inducted into the ] by completing a list of objectives. Depending on how established the player's wrestler is, the difficulty and amount of time it takes to become a Legend will vary. <ref name="IGN-2" />

Also, ''SVR 2008'' will be the first in the series to feature the revived ] brand, which will be treated equal to the established ] and ] brands, phrased by ] as an "ECW Invasion".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thq.com/games/gameinfo.php?id=1273&upc=30128 |title=THQ Wii information page |accessdate=2007-05-09 |publisher=THQ.com}}</ref> Despite the inclusion of the brand, the video game franchise will keep its ''SmackDown vs. Raw'' name, although an early logo has included "ECW Invasion".<ref></ref> Also, it was stated by Cory Ledesma that he plans on redoing the animations of the wrestlers.<ref name="IGN-2" />

There will be significant differences in the Nintendo DS version of the game. It will make use of the handheld's ] feature to control the wrestlers' in-ring action. The Nintendo DS version will also include wireless multiplayer action, as well as training minigames.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thq.com/games/gameinfo.php?id=1273&upc=36128 |title=THQ Nintendo DS information page |accessdate=2007-05-09 |publisher=THQ.com}}</ref> However, there will be limitations from the other versions in that this version will feature a roster of only 20 wrestlers and will retain the Season mode rather than the new WWE 24/7 mode.<ref name="IGN-3">{{cite web|publisher=IGN|url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/777/777305p1.html|title=SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 First Look|accessdate=2007-03-31}}</ref>

The Wii version will take advantage of the ] and ] by using the motion sensing capabilities to pull off various attacks. For instance, punches and chops will be performed by slashing the Wii Remote in different directions, while performing a move such as a ] will require the player to lift the opponent by pulling the Wii Remote up and then thrusting it down to slam the opponent. <ref name="Wii-1">{{cite web | last=Hoffman | first=Chris | title=WWE on Wii! | publisher=Nintendo.com | url=http://www.nintendo.com/newsarticle?articleid=2TGxdECYFdJ4i8cavtp9TOTI4soyB0se&page= | accessdate=2007-03-31}}</ref>
