Only wrestler I ever got the autograph of. My sister said she knew someone that knew a guy on wwf with long blonde hair. I though I was getting hhh or Jericho and got Lynn and I was like oh. Especially never seeing any other promotion besides wwf haha

The “lyrics” of this game’s theme music is amazing: “Everybody on the ground, Will Smith is selling crack!”

You can do 8 men matches in this game. Something that we wouldn't get until the 2K games on PS4/XBOX ONE.

[@jackwei22]

Last WWE game to have 8 wrestlers in the ring at one time.

[@cysper4703]

@aDg 2k18 WWF War Zone had a better commentary than this game though. Plus it's playable coz you can make your own combos like (⭕ + ⬆️) (⬛ + ➡️) (🔺+ ⬇️) (❌ + ⬅️). Until WWF Attitude get rid of it and actually make the game harder and you have to do a Tony Hawk's Esque Combination to do a fracking simple move that you can easily do in real life.

[@Autobot_Megatron]

My only massive gripe with this game? A save file will eat up more than half your memory card data...which by the way was only 8MB lmao

[@Laynel8]

+TheJ024 Lol yes I agree with you hundred percent! You needed to buy a 16MB memory card just to fit the file onto a card!

Re: hair - because the golden age of making good games is dead and gone. Now these games are made by giant studios and developers are tasked with cranking out the games and getting it done before deadlines.

[@Rschr101]

Just Bring It was great. Still is.

[@1056944]

The intro to this game looks better than current gen games! When this game came out and me and my friend first booted up the game and saw that intro we were super hyped and what let down the game was from seeing that!

[@TonyDanza4Lyfe]

Dude same exact reaction here! Sucha let down when the game looked nothing like it. And I agree that there has yet to be a game that looks as good as this intro. It's incredible.

[@EGommer1994]

I personally cannot relate to all the hate for this game. I always really enjoyed it. Of course Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes The Pain are far better and this game has plenty of faults, but I guess it's always been a guilty pleasure for me then. When I pop this in from time to time I enjoy playing it and am never not entertained.

[@TonyDanza4Lyfe]

Agree it's a really fun game which is what video games are supposed to be. Yeah it doesn't look the greatest but people fail to realize that when this came out, people hadn't seen SYM or HCTP so their perception, was the one you and I share. It looked cool at the time. It looked better than the other SD games especially considering there was no HD TV yet. It plays great, was fun and at the time it looked perfectly fine. Not great as I remember wishing it looked like the intro even as a kid, but it wasn't bad enough to make me question it. It really is a guilty pleasure and I loved the season mode because the stuff they included in it was mind blowing. Seeing the milk truck and not understanding how you made it appear was a sublime experience. You never knew what you'd see next even if you had to restart it a bunch of times. Awesome game and made me get these sick ass lebron's that looked exactly like the blue honeycomb design of the menu

Wow seeing WWF New York took me back, I went there for my 16th birthday and had some crab cakes, can’t remember what else I had but I didn’t enjoy myself.

[@premiumdude8353]

I still remember getting this and a ps2 for Christmas. Good memories

[@fro-zone2k]

Pros The Opening Intro Cons Literally Everything Else

[@kenchan4774]

The backstage area was the funniest part of this game.

[@DoctrineOfMayhem]

I really like this game. It was the first Smackdown game I've ever played, and I have some fine memories beating all my friends at this one haha. Good review as always. But you forgot to mention that the Smackdown Fist Stage is in this game too. Even with this, still a low number of arenas to choose, but better than the other 2 games before that.

[@NikateeN]

I knew about the fist stage, but really I just heard about it recently within the last few years. Honestly, I've never unlocked it.

[@SSJ491]

NikateeN To unlock the SmackDown! fist arena (2001-2008), you have to beat 17 wrestlers with The Rock on Slobber Knocker match.

[@jerelminter]

When I first got this game in late 2001, I didn't have a memory card for the PlayStation 2 when I got the system for Christmas. So me and my sister used to leave the game on all night long and play the game the next day, since we couldn't save any wrestlers we used in Season mode to unlock the hidden items in the game, or any wrestlers we created. Our parents often scolded at us for that because we almost never slept, but we couldn't save without the memory card until I got Shut Your Mouth a year later. Hahaha good times !!

[@Lou13Cyf3r]

man!!! my brothers and me put in sooooo many hours on this and the first smack down game

[@joshuajoseph8924]

“Caution, attention” wow that brings back memories

[@missJazzitup99]

this game was fun! The women could have steel cage matches, and hardcore matches, it's the only game where you can do that.

[@gfunkjunkie16]

This game has a big charm. Very nostalgic. Loved playing as Raven

[@justinturley7071]

The only gripe I have in story, is that Austin is so overpowered. He reverses literally everything, then when you try to hit a move, right on Austin, nothing happens, he hits you with that move. Then he’s literally on top of you, you’d be lucky to hit a move, now sure, I’m not the best gamer in the world, and I can say I’m pretty bad, but it still needs mention.

[@DJDoubleCee]

I don’t know why but Kurt Angle screaming at 1:12 used to scare the heck out of me when I watched the intro.

[@DuckAvenger]

I always want to go back and play these I didn't played a game between smackdown 2 and 07.

[@g-dub5272]

Back then my mind was blown when I first saw those graphics

[@ToyosatomimiNoMikoTaoism]

Alright, I'll give this game one major credit. I found you could create something completely pitch black, just like Noob Saibot. Having 8 man matches with a bunch of Noob Saibots was chaos, and I *loved* it, especially after beating season mode with a bunch of them so every title holder, tag partner and opponent was one of the Noob Saibots.

[@WestleyWolf]

you forgot to talk about how SLOW saving the game is!!! ugh.

[@th3gr81]

Westley West Caution caution

[@melainebullock]

Joseph Santiago attention

[@WestleyWolf]

@Mun man 08 not this game. this game took a whole 3 minutes just to save.

[@Seanomaniacwrestlingreviews]

Great Review ^^ In 2001 when this game came out, X-Pac was in his X-Factor stable with Justin Credible and Albert =) What really is strange about this game is if you go into stables you will see their is a faction called The Alliance which consisted of the dudleys, raven rhyno and tazz but their is no DDP RVD, Booker T or any other Alliance members in the game. I wonder were they planned for this game ?

[@crazyd4ve875]

They probably didn't debut yet

[@rickyrosay33977]

@Bubba Sawyer their faces would always look goofy no matter what you did to them I still can't pull a caw that looks well like an actual human

[@pushon10]

My friend Christian and I loved the awful commentary. I created X-Pac in this game and made it so that Taz and Michael Cole called him that in their commentary. However, their pronunciation of 'X-Pac' always sounded weirdly guttural to us. Instead of saying 'X-Pac', they would go 'EXXHHH-PACCHHH!' This is something we would would always impersonate as kids with each impression being more exaggerated than the last. By a certain point, we were just hacking up our lungs!

[@Ghostwolf4004]

I love your intro man, makes me wanna play a bunch of old school video games 👍

[@NikateeN]

Thanks!

[@kennjiro4994]

I loved this game. My only gripe was it took up like 3/4 of my memory card just to have a save file. Haha.

[@nonodz4438]

Very good memories

[@pizzahighfive2612]

I created probably the most legit Rob Van Dam and Booker T in this game. I seriously would update RVDs clothes every week depending on what he wore that week. I put in so much work trying to design his outfit exactly how he had it. Late 90s early 2000s was such a good time to be a kid.

[@litodat233]

I remember when I first saw the trailer and thought those were the actual graphics man was I hyped but nope thq suckered us all lmao

[@Beckonor]

I remember being highly shocked and disappointed that the Invasion angle with the WCW/ECW talent wasn't in the game. I felt this game was a step down from Know Your Role. Know Your Role was much more enjoyable gameplay wise. JBI felt clunky at times due to the game having so much memory space on it. The music played during the ending credits when you finish storyline mode is awesome though. The music makes you emotional almost.

[@eeeeewewew]

the story mode was crazy replayable.

[@AndreEichstedt]

Hi again, I just watching some Videos of yours. I have to say, you are doing very good reviews. Great stuff ;-) Keep it up.

Season Mode: Shut Your Mouth Roster: All 5, with different attires for each wrestler that appeared more than once Match Types: In all 5 Expand fighting in the crowd Keep the 8 men in the ring from Just Bring It! Add Michael Cole and Tazz on Commentary, just for the fun of it. Arena's: add all of the arena's in all 5 of the games Add the in-game Raw and Smackdown intro That's pretty much it.
