This game is without a doubt the best wrestling game on the market on any console. Upon playing it the game just shines with fun and joy. The graphics are excellent and it's almost as good as the Playstation can squeeze out. The sounds of during gameplay are made up of some medium-hard rock and the sound of the mat as you execute a move. The gameplay is very easy to get into yet takes a while to master. This game sports all of the top WWF Superstars from main eventer The Rock to jobber Funaki, from the lightweight Crash Holly to the super-heavyweight Viscera. Each wrestler has their own signiture moves and all of the moves are extrememly well detailed. Everything from The Rock throwing off his elbow pad into the crowd to Scotty Too Hotty and his wacky Worm. The game has all the game modes that you can think of from the basic to all the gimmick matches that have been seen of WWF TV in the past few years including Hell in a Cell, Ladder Match, TLC Match, Casket Match and Table Matches. The season mode captures all the events that has happened in the past year. The only down side that I can see to the game is the loading times, however I don't really mind it considering after the loading times you'll be getting the best wrestling game experience. People have complained about the wrestlers not selling their moves or getting up too soon after a move however it is a Arcade Wrestling game, not a Wrestling Simulator. Conclusion is if you have a Playstation, a wrestling fan and don't own this game then you better get out to the nearest game store now and buy this game, you will not be disappointed.

WWF Smackdown! 2: Know Your Role

When WWF Smackdown! made it's groundbreaking debut, it amazed some, and others didn't like it. It's obvious pros were graphics and the surprising new match of Special Referee, which is used as getting back at those who stabbed you in the back, or vice versa. There were some cons such as no commentary, and not that much choice in Create-A-Wrestler. It probably wont make any difference to those when it's sequel, WWF Smackdown! 2:Know Your Role hits shelves across the country (supposed release is Tuesday the 21st). Smackdown 2 will have about twice as many wrestlers as there were in the origional (that's about 60 wrestlers), plus a much more updated Create-A-Wrestler feature. Some of the new matches in Smackdown! 2 are the Ladder Match, Table Match, ---- in a Cell, and (the match that has to be unlocked first) the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. In addition to some of what you're expecting, you'll get a Create-A-Manager mode, where you pick between Chyna, Steven Richards and others to walk to the ring with you and cause disturbance. You also get a Create-A-Taunt mode, where you go frame-by-frame moving certain body parts certain ways, so you can do the Y-M-C-A, or give the crowd the finger while doing a russian dance. Finally, there are double-moves you can execute, an interactive announcer's table you can slam an opponent's head into and break it by doing some strong moves. There is way too much more to talk about, and not enough room to write about. So I'll go out saying I hope you liked my quick summary of the game, and I also hope you enjoy the game.

Now I'm not gonna come up with some stupid comment like "This game is great I reccomend it" because I haven't played it. Noone has. I will speak the truth. This game is going to have over 30 wrestlers including Too Cool, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit. It will have some new modes, being a Ladder Match,a Table Match and a couple of others, more weapons, and lots more backstage areas to wrestle around in. There will also be the popular Season Mode and heaps more options in the Create-A-Wrestler mode. When it comes out, I am going to buy it, being the WWF fan that I am but if your not sure, do some research and make sure you really want it. Thanks for listening to what I have to say I hope this helps you with your choice in buying WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role.

This game is the best wretsling sim that I have ever played.I have the unfinished version that the games magazines got and I cant wait to get my hands on the finished version. Create a wretsler is mutch better this time round and you can also create a taunt, create a stable, and create a manager. The hell in the cell matches are one of favourite matches and you can even throw your opponent through the roof of the cage. The season mode is extremely better and the game features all the WWF superstars to date including the goodfather and RTC and the radicals.This game tottaly rocks.

I got the game, and its the best game that THQ ever made!

I pre-ordered this game and got it yesterday. Now, this game has HIAC, casket, table, tagtables, ladder, TLC (unlock first), tornadotag, anywherefalls, specialref. (1 or 2), I Quit, Iron Match, handicap (1/2 1/3 1ontag), 3way, 4way and more. You can even combine matches. (example: a 3wayanywherefalls) Now the career mode is probably the best ever on a Playstation. (but it still can't beat No Mercy) And the CAW mode is the best ever on any wrestling game. Create-A-Taunt can take alot of time to get used to. Create-A-Stable, Create-A-Manager & Create-A-Taunt, gets in the mix once you create a wrestler. With 66 superstars this game could get really wild. Which makes the cut scenes contain the main superstars, not unless you are playing a sorry one. But still with all these new features, you can never get tired of it. THQ went out with a bang on the Playstation, and be tuned in to wait what they have in store for us on PS2. SD2 has lots of flaws in it. Like commentary, or extra costumes. The wrestlers don't go all the way to the ring, but you see the flash of fireworks and everything. Stone Cold & The Rock are shown going to the ring and stand on the turnbuckles, but you don't see the ring. The voiceovers are just snippets of wrestlers' voices. (That's all I gotta say about that! It doesn't matter!) There is a whole list of improvements. The graphics seem like they haven't changed. But they have improved (Tazz's tatoos. A whole Worm. A perfect People's Elbow. A higher Pedigree.) And the camera action is awesome. Even if you do the same move over and over again, the angle switches. This game has different DDT's like the Dangerous DDT, Standing Tornado DDT, Inverted DDT, Reverse Tornado DDT, Tornado DDT etc. They even have Triple H do the Knee Smash on a running opponent! And they renamed the Press & Knuckle to the Lou Thesz Press like real life! And moves such as the Shaky Knee Drop and D'Lo Leg Drop are easier now because you just do it by the head. The list goes on but I must stop. I hope you buy this game, because it will most likely be the best game of the year!

Know Your Role and buy this game

I admit, I hated wrestling games at first. They were frustrating because I had to press too many buttons to pull off one simple move, even more for the finisher if I ever got that far. Then along came WWF Smackdown for Playstation, which pretty much took out the difficulty factor concerning controls, making the game much more enjoyable for me, especially when I held four belts with Kane in Season mode. Hearing nothing but good things for Smackdown 2, I just had to buy it and did so. When I popped it into my Playstation, I noticed that the loading times were a lot longer than they were in the first Smackdown. Even though that aspect of the game isn't really easy to overlook, the rest of the game made up for it. When I played the first Smackdown, there were a plethora of matches, and I couldn't think that there were more types. I was wrong. SM2 still has all the types of matches that SM had and then some. Hell in a Cell, IronMan matches (regular and special guest referee), Casket, Table, Ladder, and TLC (regular or title) are among the many types of matches in this game (personally I like Hell in a Cell and the IronMan matches). The season mode is refined and better than in SM. Instead of one match per month, there are five, and you earn some extra things during the season, from parts in Create A Superstar to characters (Stone Cold and Billy Gunn have to be unlocked). The mats even have the Pay-Per-View special logos from No Mercy '99 to Unforgiven 2000 (you can customize the mats in exhibition mode). You can still skip matches including your own, but it takes longer than it did in SM. The storylines are a little better, though still repetitive, but you can interact in some situations, like asking or telling someone to do something. I haven't actually created someone yet but Create A Superstar is much better than it was in SM. There are a lot more options concerning appearance and moves. You can also create things like managers, taunts, teams (known as stables) and PPV specials. The graphics are excellent and add a sense of realism, especially with all 50 or so characters, from the different backstage areas to Undertaker's bike in his entrance. There are many more backstage areas, like a diner, plaza, lobby, locker room, etc. SM2 has an expanded and updated roster of superstars, including the Radicalz, Too Cool and Rikishi, Kurt Angle, Stephanie McMahon, The Kat, and even my man Shawn Michaels. I'd write more but I've written a lot already and it's 2:30 in the morning. All I have to say is Know Your Role and buy this game. By the way, to get out of the Hell in a Cell, bounce off the ropes in the middle of the ring and dive into the panels that are colored lighter than the rest of the cell.

This game is the best ever and a wonderful game to end the PSX I era. You can fight in the bar, kitchen, wwf new york, restraunt, parkinglot, backstage, and the lobby, along with the bathroom. With 58 or so detailed wrestlers it is the best game ever.With the new season and create a wrestler and a sign. Also you can get or create a stable such as T & A or D-X. this is a must for all those wwf fans.
