Not too bad,...........but could have been better. |
| Sabu from Chicago, USA says (26/Feb/2001): |
Overall, I find Smackdown 2 to be an alright game. The special matches aren't too bad and the graphics are okay. The character creation gives you alot of options, which is cool. However, the loading time takes way too long. By the time my match has finished loading I've already grown bored. Plus, there are other aspects of the game that could have been better. Maybe I'm spoiled from ECW Anarchy Rulz & ECW Hardcore Revolution, I happen to like blood in action games. Within the two games I just mentioned, the blood is nonstop and they also do something else that Smackdown 2 doesn't. The two ECW games have Gertner and Styles giving play by play calls during the matches.
Bottom line, Smackdown 2 wasn't too bad, but could have been alot better. Should they put out another, my advice would be to speed up the loading, add an option for blood, add an option for mature language, and add comments from JR & Lawler at ringside during matches. If you're going to make a wreslting game, make it as realistic as possible. If the wrestlers bleed on tv, then they must bleed in the game. If they stay down for a while after a powerbomb, then they should do such in the game(instead of popping up two seconds later). Come on, even when Mark Calaway was still doing the Gothic Taker he wouldn't always pop up after two seconds. Plus, if they have JR/Lawler, Cole/Lawler & Cole/Tazz on the mic during matches on Raw, Smackdown, heat and PPV's, why not have such upon the game. Leave it up to me and I'd combine aspects of the ECW games with Smackdown.

Simply amazing |
| Levon from Toronto,Canada says (26/Feb/2001): |
I really wanted to give this game a ten but i just couldnt with the loading sequences it seems they load whenever theres a chance to load. Other than that flaw which i have gotten used to and accepted i find the game simply amazing the graphics are beautiful other than the odd hand misplace. I love all the matches you can choose from, the create a p.p.v./ superstar are amazing. A great idea to put in the create a stable/maneger modes so you can keep the game up to date. Everyone says the season mode sucks but have you ever tried playing with 2+ people it keeps you wanting to play and if you ever all of a sudden hate the wrestler you are [in season mode] you can change your wrestler. the king of the ring and royal rumble could have some improvments such as being able to pick the people you play against and no loading before a wrestler comes in.other the game has some faults i think its an incredible game the people at THQ did a fantastic job

Good, definitely not the best |
| Gerardo García from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico says (26/Feb/2001): |
Smack Down! 2 is way better than the first installment, but eternal loading times and uneven season mode have marred it severely. Also, the CPU utter contempt towards CAW'S make it difficult to give them push and contend for a major title. The Titantrons are pretty pointless, I mean, what's the use of creating an entirely new character and having him/her enter to somebody else's video and music? It's ridiculous!
The cutscenes are boring and way too short to entertain you. The "storylines" don't follow and feuds are limited to "Champion-No. 1 contender" matches (did I say "Light-Heavyweight Title"?)
I think I'd go on with the flaws but now I'll admit the graphics are hot and so is the game engine. The only adjustments THQ should make are those with the cinematics, the skip match system, entrances, and loading time. Hopefully, Smack Down! 3 will be even closer to the wrestling panacea we've craved for so long.

This game could have been a lot better! |
| NO9999 from pennsylvania, usa says (13/Apr/2001): |
Smackdown 2 had a lot of publicity around christmas time and the makers had to work fast and they rushed it. everything is fine not great but fine there was nothing special at all about this game. I try to do a season and i am the wwf champ and i dont even wrestle have of the time and then i have to watch the virtual color thing. It was horrible. The makers of this game should be asshamed that they rushed it.
|
Good but not as good as i thought it would be |
| NickB from Paris, France says (16/Apr/2001): |
There are good and bad points for this game. First, the bad points:
Loading time for ages and sometimes for about 1 second of action, then it has to load again!
Season mode takes too long. Gets boring after a long while.
You can only put them through the middle of the hell in a cell.
Now, the good points:
Create a character mode is good. You can make exactly what you want.
Lots of cool matches. Good for beating someone too a pulp.
You can jump off the hell in a cell through the table. (I think this is only if you use a gameshark. Overall a pretty good game.

BEST WRESTLING GAME EVER |
| SHAUN HAND from BRADFORD,ENGLAND says (2/May/2001): |
As everyone anticipated smackdown2 didn't change much as it was already a great game,but the fantastic array of matches,50 wrestlers to choose from and 1000 different moves to pummel your opponent with adds to an already advancing new genre of gaming.Even if you don't like wrestling you can enjoy the fighting and create a wrestler mode,but for a fan of the WWF this is a realistic effort and very playable.The game takes wrestling to new heights.

The Best Wrestling Game Ever. 'Nuff Said. |
| Spencer Christiano from New York, USA says (28/May/2001): |
This game is the best wrestling game ever made. Why is that, you may ask? Well, pipe down and I just might tell ya!
1) Great graphics. This game isn't made to be a graphic adventure, but it doesn't have to be one. It has the best graphics I have ever seen in a wrestling game.
2) Great physics. Jeff Hardy performs a real swanton bomb, and The Rock does a completely accurate People's Elbow.
3)Great characters. This game has the characters you love, the characters you hate, and even the characters you've never heard of. And if you're not satisfied with that, the game has an incredible Create-A-Wrestler mode.
4)Accuracy. The characters look like the real deal, and there are even accurate enterances!
5)The game is just plain FUN! You can throw your opponents off of a steel cage, you can put wrestlers through tables, hell, you can even taunt other wrestlers!
So there you have it. I have given you what I think of this game. I have spoken the truth. What you use with my words is up to you. You may say "this dude doesn't know what he's talking about!" or you may trust me, and go out and buy the game. Trust me, it will be the best $30-40 you have ever spent.

What we all expected was better! |
| Aaron Braund from Scotland says (8/Jun/2001): |
Smack down 2... We waited so long and we got what we deserved... A brillant game! The entrances are stunning, the create-a-character is amazing and the matches are good as well! Im not a freak on wrestling games but this one was super! I thank THQ for bringing the first wrestling game(apart from smack down)that will get you hooked. With it's range of modes,characters and creating them will keep you playing well past its sell by date!
|
Great, but the loading time is annyoing. |
| shotz from England says (15/Jun/2001): |
Smackdown 2 could possibly have been the greatest wrestling game ever if it were not for the unneccerary loading times which usually load up totally rubbish things. in season you get stupid carttons like "the rock is here 2nite" or some other rubbish. also that stupid helth meter is soooooo anoying. it spoils the season by making it to slow. even the amount of damage people take in matches is stupid. when you hit someone with a chair they dont even fall, if u chuck em off the hell in a cell they get staright back up, puttin 'em though a table does nuthin, and i is way to easy to win by submission.
but despite all this bad stuff, it remains the undisputed best wrestlin game on the PSX . its got cool matches like TLC, table, ladder, hell in a cell, king of the ring, hardcore time limit title and other things like the create a stably are wicked and the create a wreslter if WAYYYYY better tan in smackdown 1. but they dont need the create a PPV.
|
this game is pretty cool |
| demolition dud from Ellsworth, USA says (24/Jun/2001): |
This game is cool but there is about 7 things I would change:
1. Be able to create more than 10 guys at a time I had to buy another memory card.
2. Make the loading way faster cuz it totally ruins the Royal Rumble matches.
3. While in season mode GET RIDE OF THOSE ANNOYING CUTS.
4. Make some of the moves move realistic like the Mexican Surfboard is almost impossible to do in real life.
5. Make the game have DQ'S other wise it's to easy.
6. There is enough create-a-... modes so why not add one more create-a-finisher move.
7. Add a few more matches like Infreno, buried alive, 2 out of 3 falls and a door match which is like a table match only instead of putting your opponent through a table you put them threw a door bolted shut.

This game is awesome!!! |
| Lainer74 from Riceville, Iowa, says (30/Jun/2001): |
The graphics are amazing. Being on top of the Hell in a Cell is cool because of the fact that Chris Jericho can double powerbomb someone through the top of the cell. And the moonsault of the cell onto the opponent on the announcer table. The sound is awesome especially with the entrance music. One of my fav moments is putting Gerald Brisco as a special referee and then just wailing on him with spear after spear and powerbombs through tables even though he fought back, but he still got what was coming to him. This game is extremely fun especially the TLC match. Jumping off the ladder onto the opponent and putting him through a table with a Senton bomb or Test Elbow drop. One thing that should have been added was commentary, it is just boring without the announcers making smart remarks. But overall, the game is amazing and incredible.

THIS IS THE BEST WRESTLING GAME! BUT IT COULD BE BETTER! |
| Johnny Boy from Las Vegas, NV USA says (1/Jul/2001): |
This game could have been a lot more better. I have a list of improvements if THQ decides to make WWF Smackdown 3.
1) There is too much loading. There should be two separate discs. One for all the create a p.p.v./stable/etc. And the rest on the other disc.
2) The graphics aren't that good. There should be better graphics.
3) There should be a "create an arena". Where you can put hidden weapons in a trash can and build whatever you you want.
4) The season mode takes tooooooo long.
5) You should be able to do two different special moves. Like L1 for one special. And L1+D-pad button for another special.
Those are my suggestions for improvments for smackdown 3.

Can This Get Any Better?! |
| A gamer from ca says (3/Jul/2001): |
This game has lots of superstars. The create-a-wrestler mode is way better than the other games. Lots of kewl matches to choose from hell in the cell to TLC. Tons of new moves, create a tuant and u can have a manager. the loading time is terrible. Other than that, the makers made one of the best games ever!

A Great Wrestling Game |
| JC from Gillingham England says (5/Jul/2001): |
This is definitely the best wrestling game ever but there are 3 things that i would change.
1)Get rid of the cut scenes
2)Make the royal rumble loading faster
3)Enter The big show in the game
Also if anyone knows how to create or get the big show can they please e-mail me

Awesomeness! |
| Mark "the man" Gratton from Columbia, South Carolina says (12/Jul/2001): |
People, after buying this game the day it came out, I can definitely say that I am pleased with it. But there are flaws to the game.
1. There is no color commintary from JR and Jerry Lawler.
2. The Big Show is not on there.
3. When put on difficult, it is still to easy.
4. You can't 3D through the tables.
5. You can't double team through tables.
Some good things are:
1. The gameplay is awesome. One button moves, is all we need.
2. Create a wrestler is exactly what this game needed! Thanks to the makers on that one!
3. Season mode is terrific, but the screens like this person is here, or someone got there butt cut there, they need to go. But when Austin blew up the DX Express, that was awesome!
I believe that if your a real wrestling fan, that this is the ultimate game until Smackdown! 3 comes out for PS2!

this game is cool |
| Chris from Las vegas,nevada says (11/Aug/2001): |
i think this game has potental but there are some problems when you do a move on the left of the ring u can see the kink and j.r.but when you go near they are not there plus they look like the fans thats wierd also there shoudnt be long loads i liked wwf smackdown 1 loads better thats 2 things this game should work on.

this game so reeks of awsomness |
| kristie white from newcastle, NSW, Australia says (5/Oct/2001): |
This game is heaps hell. The entrance movies are great, the modes and seasons are good to have and you can play any player modes too. There could be better graphics, with the crowd it doesn't look real but other than that it is a great game to play and also to beat your little brothers at. I use Shane Mcmahon because he is so "hot" and a great athlete. In the stables i put stone cold and triple h together with steve austins entrance movie doing ballet. That is another good example in this game with making your own stables, another stable i did was putting shane in the hardy boys stable.
Overall this game is a great game and i give it a 9/10 for it's efforts put into this game.

What do i think of Smackdown 2 |
| The Assassin from England says (12/Oct/2001): |
Having this game nearly a year and unlocking everything once i think i know quite a bit about this game although lets start with the games warzone and attitude. I own attitude and play it quite a bit but i want to say one thing about it, THE GRAPHICS ARE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I could draw better no rephrase that i could make better plasercine fighters than that when i was a bloody baby. As far as i am concerned about yukes and THQ taking the wwf games lincense i have somthing to say about that, they are the saviors. The graphics on smackdown 2 are amazing it doesnt look like you are fighting a piece of clay anymore, the create-a-player on smackdown 2 kick serios ass, although the only thing i don't like about it is that you can't change the move names but that isnt really important, the match combinations on smackdown two are very good the matches look very good, he different areaners are brilliant and i like the fact that you can rams a poor bastards head through a table. Anyone saying that smackdown 2 i rubbish has somthing seriosly wrong in the head.

Mad A** whoping cut scenes. |
| Matt from N.S.W Australia says (8/Jan/2002): |
This is a mad a** game.Graphics,sound,gameplay,originality,lifespan and fun factor all rule.The moves rock.My favourite part in the game was in season mode when Hardyz and Dudleyz had a fued and Dudleyz challenged Hardyz to a ''TAG TEAM TABLE MATCH''now at the end of the match there was a cut scene of Dudleyz 3D'ING Jeff through the table then after Bubba was in his trance thing and D-Von don is table taunt.Now the one thing that i absoulutly hate is that at the end of a match the announces look like pieces of card board.Not moving or anything.But if your a die hard wwf fan like me u must get this game.
|
Totally rocks! |
| Sim from Bowsers Castle says (16/Mar/2002): |
Smackdown 2 is so damn fun. I got it in July and still play it. First of all you will notice how good the gameplay is compared to other previous wresleing games. Second of all you will notice how great the backstage arenas are. Plus I play story mode all the time and it rocks. Plus you can unlock more charecters as you play. Buy this game it totally rocks!
