    A good start for Wii SmackDown - with a bit of tweaking, this could be a smash hit. [Dec 2007, p.45]

    Its too-simplistic controls and marred visuals really ruin any shot it had at being a great game for the Wii.

    I had never felt so frustrated in a wrestling game until I played this one.

    In setting out to make a wrestling game for people who don't like wrestling games, THQ has turned in a game that nobody will like.

    For the Wii, I thought the graphics would be the worst part but it turns out the season mode and vs. mode ended up sucking the big one. I am a big WWE fan I can't even tell you what a "knockout match" is. Next year, add more matches, online play, and a story mode that doesn't suck so hard!!… Expand

    They should have renamed this game "How fast can you shake your remote?". There is absolutely no strategy to this game other than shaking your remote faster than your opponent. You get a good workout but the fun factor of this game goes away very quickly. Also, the graphics leave a little to be desired... The online demos for this game greatly exaggerate how much fun it is to play it and also overplay the amount of control you have over what your character does. In the end... I would say save your money and wait for a more interesting version of this game to come out.… Expand
