WWE: SmackDown vs. Raw 2008- The best wrestling game on a mobile?

preview What is it: The title pretty much sums it up. Two championships, twelve wrestlers (plus one custom), normal and hardcore matches. It is also the series debut in 3d on a mobile phone.

What looks good: Customization options, Graphics(if you happen to prefer angular and jagged 3d over jagged and pixelized 2d)

What looks bad: Short, some moves are not animated well, repeatable gameplay, hardcore matches suck

Will I review if I can: I'd like to, but I probably won't.

Comments: It is  the best mobile wrestling game so far, but sometimes the best is not enough. The customization options and the possibility to create your own wrestler with specific moves are great, but the list of moves is pretty short and the gameplay boils down to the following scenario:
Hit him times times, grab him for a couple of knees in the gut, bulldog, stomp 'im on the ground (power meter is probably full by now if not repeat until full), wait for him to stand up and execute finisher (not really necessary), pin him down.This works every time even on highest difficulty so the game isn't much of a challenge. Then again if you're a real wrestling fan you're probably spend a lot more time with this game than the 20 or so minutes you need to complete it for the first time.
