WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 24/7 Mode Report

Let's start where the changes are the most noticeable -- 24/7 Mode as a Superstar. When you select the option you'll be able to start a career as a Superstar or created character. If you choose your created brawler, you'll start with your minimum attributes and begin working your way up the ladder through skill training. Choose to be an established character, and you'll be able to start with the steam the wrestler already has or from scratch to build your own dynasty.

Now, readers, brace yourself; I have bad news … possibly terrible news. You can't take an ECW Superstar (CM Punk, Elijah Burke, etc.) through 24/7 mode. Worse? You can't take an ECW Superstar who swapped shows (i.e. Sandman, Bobby Lashley, etc.) through the new career mode either. Go ahead and let out a frustrated cry, ECW fans -- we did. There's a fair amount of voice acting and show-specific storylines for Raw and SmackDown, and it would appear that just couldn't be done for poor ol'ECW.

Once you get over the grief of not being able to play as any ECW dude -- with the exception of Johnny Nitro on Raw -- you can begin your dream of becoming a WWE Legend with one of 19 available wrestlers. The mode kicks off with your Superstar meeting Vince in the middle of an empty arena and him challenging you to become a legend and make it to the squared-circle for that awe-inspiring event known as Wrestlemania. From there, you adjourn to your new home away from home -- the WWE Locker Room.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Now this is rather disappointing not being able to use ECW guys in 24/7 mode.

Not really disappointing for me but I'm sure it is for some of you. Especially you EG, you know with CM Punk and all.

Still sucks though.

24/7 mode really sounds like it's going to suck. Seems boring and repetitive...even moreso than past SVR game's "season modes."

The demo is coming to XBL in just under two weeks...the gameplay on it better be really improved...otherwise I don't know if I can justify dropping money on it

**** I really wanted to use Punk in this mode.

I know, he is going to boycott now since he can't use CM. I'm a bit disappointed that ECW can't be used...............stupid THQ.

I'll need a second opinion of 24/7 mode before I put any time into it whatsoever. Still sounds like addition by subtraction on the part of THQ, with regard to "combining" last year's GM and Career modes.

I was ticked kind of last year because you couldn't use Legends... except Piper. And I really wanted to use The Rock. Oh and you couldn't use Umaga either.

But if they couldn't do voice chat why not just give all the character text option then?

I'd still like to know if GM mode is multiplayer....
