    Although this game does have its minor hang-ups its still my favourite game released this year along with MOH:Frontline. graphics vastly improved and incredibly replayable. although season mode only lasts two years it still works out at over 120 events (Raw, Smackdown Pay per Views) every time you play in season mode. CAW has been improved greatly. you can choose whether you want the crowd to love you or hate you depending on what decisions you make during season mode. And finally the inclusion of voodo child for hogans entrance tops the game off very nicely. If your a Wrestlin fan YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME!!! If you're a wrestlin fan but have say an X-Box sell it, buy a PS2 AND GET THIS GAME. cheers! Matt… Expand

    I rate this game a 10 out of 10 because of its excellent gameplay and all that it has most of the wrestlers but is missing a few like rey m jr.

    One of the greatest Wrestling Games ever. 1st game with Brock Lesnar. With over 60 types of matches and the greatest story lines of all time and definitely has good graphics!

    This game is pretty damn sweet! I played it for like half an hour and was like playing SD1 for the first time! It feels different and is harder than the previous installments. But I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm just glad I picked this game up! If you are a Smackdown fan go get this game now!

    Why is Rico a character? Where in this game is the blood. Other than that this game is a cool game. nWo, you are the best. Continue to make good Smackdown! games.

    This game is great, but no rey mysterio, 3 minute warning, eric bishoff, paul heyman, team angle 2 beat the crap out of, no scott steiner, scott hall, bill demott, dawn marie, or al wilson to run into in the hall. no velocity arena.a game that would be cool is the won that has confidential.hulk hogan doesnt rip his shirt, stone cold doesnt drink beer,and there should be talking and not words. besides that this game is the best i've played!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    I agree with one person is that you can`t get weapons when in the other games you can.

    Title confirms my suspicion that all pro-wrestlers are efeminate and sterotype-camp underneath. Looking forward to WWE - Smackdown: "Oo, You Bitch" and WWE - Smackdown: "I'll Scratch Your Eyes Out, Sister". It's a good game, as well - best wrestling game for a while.

    It loses a point for not having a Women's Belt and Women't eligibility for Season Mode, and another point for not having Superstar's face and body parts in the Create a Wrestler mode... but other than those nitpicky things, this is a VAST improvement of "Just Bring It"...

    A solid WWE game that covers an interesting time period for the sport. A good roster and solid gameplay...well worth the price used today. SYM is leagues better than current gen WWE offerings.

    I gave this game a 7. Thats becouse: u cannt get any wepons from the audience for example:chairs, baseball bats these stuff. i think its ok that theirs no blood. but it could have better graphics i must say!

    While SmackDown is still quite a long way from matching the visual peaks reached by other highly popular fighting series (Tekken, DOA, Soul Blade…), there have been massive strides in the right direction with this fourth instalment from the THQ/Yule team.

    The greatest next-generation wrestling game on the market and completely makes up for the control issues that THQ foisted upon us last year in "Just Bring It."

    The best PS2 wrestler there is, largely thanks to Yuke’s success in mimicking the cheese that oozes from every pore of the WWE.
