THE GREATES WRESTLING GAME IN THE WORLD |
| the iron bat from TX says (13/Jul/2003): |
Smackdown 2 is the best wrestling game ever made dispite the almost endless season and terrible loading screens. I've played all of the other Smackdown games but i was disapointed with all of them. They seem to slow and there create a character modes don't seem to give the same kind of creativity like in Smackdown 2. I've played the game many hours with my friends mostly playing in the iron man testing our created characters against each other. I only wish the next smack down game was as fast as this one.

Shocking Graphics |
| Mitch from Victoria, Australia says (10/Jul/2003): |
This is a fairy bad game, nowhere near the graphics as Just Bring It. I am a huge WWE fan but i still dthink this game could be improved much. Just Bring It's Graphics is so much better and it's speed is way slower Smackdown2 speed is rediculous they get up pretty much just after u knock them down.
Aand here I close

Its a fair game |
| Cactus Chad from Tuttle, Oklahoma USA says (9/Jul/2003): |
Well,other then the load times,{Which are horrible}this game is great.The best playstation one wrestling game ever, compared to the other PS1 wresling games out there like WCW nitro,or any ECW game they ever came out with.GIVE ME A BREAK! The move set is awesome, the storylines are cool,and over 60 different playable wrestlers on the game.{how can you go wrong.}
|
Still A Brillent Game! |
| Chris Watkins from Marysville WA,USA says (8/Jul/2003): |
Despite what others might say.SmackDown 2 is a great game.Even now in the 2003 era.Although it's reletively hard to find nowadays.SmackDown 2 is the best wrestling playstation game i own!Back in it's time,SmackDown 2 was the most impressive game ever.The Graphics were the best ever seen in a wrestling game.For those of you who never played the game.Shame On You!Let me give you a hands down on this seamlessely remarkable game.First,The Graphics on this game are very good.The characters do look a little big.[The Rock looks fat!]But for the most part the characters all look realistic.Next is the gameplay.The game plays just like SmackDown:Just Bring It.The characters all move smoothly and themoves you perform are totally wicked!Finally, the sound,the sound in this game is very uniqe.The music during a match is bad,but is not as bad when your not competing.The one reason i was eager to play this game was for it's season mode.I couldn't have been more disappointed.The season mode is downwright BORING! Sure it may seem cool for the first two hours,but then it just gets old fast after that.My conclusion is that this game is worth buying for any DieHard Wrestling Fan,and worth a rental for everyone else.

"WWE Smackdown!Shut Your Mouth Is Eight Times Better Than This Piece Of Ugly Crap" |
| Kyron from New York City says (27/Jun/2003): |
What kind of crap is this? It's the worse wrestling game I ever saw in my life. When you are creating a superstar,and you choose standard to go to a original superstar's appearance,you can't at least change the color or add more clothing to the appearance and those stupid loading screens makes me crazy. Too bad it dosen't have WWE Superstars and the new WWE Smackdown! Arena. There are many WWE Superstars that is not in this game like 1.Brock Lesnar2.Billy Kidman3.Hulk Hogan4.Mr.America5.Zach Gowen6.Lance Storm7.Torrie Wilson8.Big Show9.Chavo Guerrero10.Shannon Moore11.Rey Mesterio12.Ultimo Dragon13.Tijiri and more. Also when you run&grab and you miss your face fall to the ground. How stupid can it get?

Wild but has its on faults |
| Jason Wilson from New York City, America says (16/Jun/2003): |
This is one of the best games I think on Playstation but I think that it is a bit too fast fighting. It has great graphics and has most of the wrestlers from the days of 2000. It is pretty dissapointing about the way you can create characters nand payperviews compared to other wrestling games I have played. Other than them faults it is a pretty good game.

The coolest game i have played ever |
| shamveel Bin Tousif from Pakistan says (21/May/2003): |
Smackdown 2 is the coolest game i have ever play bacause in this game it is our will that who should be the champion.We are the chairman of the wwf when we are playing game. In smack down i will vote the season most because from season many superstars open are our skills of playing game bacame more and increases.
For smackdown my wish is to play it hundrad time and i dont even get boared
|
I love it!! |
| Nikki Palencia from Philippines says (19/May/2003): |
Smackdown 2 is so cool that I can never stop playing it! If you ask me,I would highly recommend this game espacially for teenagers.I love everything in the game except that there are not enough kinds of matches. I still love it though!The moves are very easy to use! Just by pressing L1, you can do the finishing move very quickly.And the create a wrestler mode is pretty awesome!

Real WWF entertainment.... |
| Brad Felizardo from Angola - Luanda says (18/May/2003): |
The game is really better, the "creat a superstar" function is now better than ever, and now it's possible to make a "really custom face", and many other things. And now it's possible to create a taunt too (It should be able to creat a special too...). One thing that is really really bad, is the season. There aren't any more "Pre-seasons", and you'll not feel like you are making a career like in the first game (Try to create a superstar... and then you'll notice that the only thing that you can or "must" do are exhibitions!). I only made de Season Mode because of the additonal players and moves, if you want to feel the role of WWF, you better play the Seasons of the first Smackdown. But the game isn't so bad, new players and new kind of fights are there! And the graphics are better.

The best wrestling game for its time, but still poor! |
| Tom Brookes from Worcester, England says (20/Apr/2003): |
A 1 word description of the game: pathetic!
Smackdown 2 may have been superior to its predessesors but still fails to meet the standard of a reasonably good game.
Firstly, the graphics have barely changed since the first Smackdown game, so the environments and characters both look flat, unrealistic and boring. Though THQ stressed that it had a huge backstage arenas, they all look so boring, washed up and terrible that the game suffers awfully. Even the crown is flat, which just lessens the realism and so the score of the game.
Secondly, and most importantly, was the season mode. The object of the season mode is to win all characters and body parst in order to create charcters of you own. Sadly, it takes 6 years to fully complete the game, and you will only win a few game modes and about 10 characters. Now it takes about 10 minutes to complete each show and you have 4 per month and 1 PPV. So that is 5 matches per month, times 10 minutes times 12 months times 6 years, which equals 3600 minutes of boredom and anger. The season mode consists of dreary storylines where someone will attack another for no reason. You will probably be in one of these storylines and will have to fight a useless and boring match. This will happen a lot. You will most likely only continue to play only for the body parts, which you will be able to win every few months. Sadly, you can win the same person repeatedly, so you will end up turning the air blue with the amount of swearing that comes from your mouth when you win someone for the sixth time. The season mode is that boring.
Though the Create-A-Superstar mode was much better than its original, it still barely reached standatds. It is difficult to create people because of the poor designs. The battle system was also very linear and allowed for few moves to be performed.
Another probelm was the sound. Though the game had the banging of a person on the mat and the clanging of a chair on someone, the music was absolutely terrible. With only two tracks that consist of repetetive heavy metal, I got sick of the music and turned it off at the options menu (which, by the way, allowed for few changes to your game) and so had to listen to the unrealistic cheers of the crowd.
On the bright side, there are man more charcters than in Smackdown 1 and there are several more matches. But many of these matches are quite easy to win and are not even close to the fun it is to watch real matches. There extra charcters are, sadly, not anyone that you would want to play. Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson, Mick Foley, Joey Abs, Rodney and several others are the boring wrestlers that all have the same moves and are incredible dozy to fight.
Overall, WWF Smackdown 2 is a repetetive, dissapionting game that is so boring, it causes you to glance at any random thing that is more fun than the game. It was a terrible disapointment an though there were small amounts of fun, it did not have the power to drag me in to playing it for more than a month. I predict that most will be bored of it very quickly too. This game is definately not worth the $65. If this is the best that a games developer can muster for a wrestling game, I shudder to think what the worst wrestling game is.

A big step in wrestling games... |
| Luis Herrera from Viņa del Mar, Chile says (31/Mar/2003): |
Guys... This game has become in a historic one. I have never play a wrestling game like. When I play SM!2 for the first time, I really enjoyed the fantastic response of the machine, all the defects of SM! disappear. I put this game a nine 'cos in first place THQ remove caracters and moves(flying clothesline, flying body press, BIG SHOW!!!)that was absolutly necesary! The other reason... Smack Down! Shut your mouth

A load of trash |
| ssym Fan from U.S.A says (25/Mar/2003): |
First things first the graphics are poor i mean does the rock really look like an elephant i think not and does austin really look like a horses rear again i think not.Especially in season mode when you do it with a created character it takes roughly a game year before you even get a match but if that wasn't enough it includes all the rubbish scenes in between and quite frankly there is no need for it. If you want a smackdown game get smackdown:shut your mouth.

gr8 |
| chris knights from Canberra, Australia says (14/Mar/2003): |
ive never really cared for playstation games very much but smackdown 2 is the best game ive ever played the graphics may not be as good as that as wwe shut your mouth but for its timeline the graphic were great and how the programmers got the actual startings up is beyond me but ever since i bought it ive completed it at least 3 times with unlocked wrestlers and locked wrestlers, all in all its a good game but not as good as the more recent games on ps2
|
great |
| Darryl from sudbury ontario says (9/Mar/2003): |

|
Good at first, but soon get's very boring indeed! |
| Tom from England, Warrington says (17/Feb/2003): |
This game at first, was absolutely excellent! I loved it! It was my number one pick of the year! But after a while, it became so boring, I lost the disc I became that careless about it! This is by far the best PS1 wrestling game, but it could be much better. The hell in a cell is as plain as $#< remove me > at !! The layout is wrong, the cell does not inflict any extra damage, when you put the opponent through, it looks cheap, you can't walk through where the opponent went through! You can't do koves off the top, you can't walk off the top! When you fall, they just land there without even flinching! The TLC is very borinhg, you cannot do finishers off the ladders, no finishers on chairs, you can't do any weapon grapple. The only way you can put an opponent through is ddt, rock bottom with the rock only, and aerial. The graphics are very poor, they were good at the time! The table matches last up to about seven seconds! You always get the same matches in season, it takes ages to load, just to say some superstar is here tonight! The stroyline is too lame to explain! There is no smackdown or raw, you can't climb the titantron. The hardcore arenas are cool, but thats it! I gave it a six because the game is pretty damn fun at first, but goes down in value after a lonmg boring gameplay! The create mode seriously needs updating, the lifespan of the game is poor, mine broke very quick and the gameplay is more boring the more you play, there is about 5 superstars to unlcok,the sound is crap, there is no commentary, the finishers are too easially done if you ask me!

This game has done the impossible |
| Patrick from Dillsburg, PA says (13/Feb/2003): |
I've never been a wrestling fan and I'm sure I never will be, but my best friend is and he picked up this game last summer. From the moment we started playing it I've been hooked. Having tried other wrestling games in the past (thanks to my friend) I've found them to be quite boring, but Smackdown 2 is totally different, and it's all thanks to the "Create A Wrestler" option. My friend and I have created a vast assortment of characters, from Jesus Christ and the Devil to completely original characters and I have to say that I've never been so entertained by a game since Crazy Taxi. Heck, even my girl friend digs the game! Now, if only I could play with multiple characters in my season...
