FUN FACT: In 2002, Smackdown: KYR was given a greatest hits release in some territories for PS1. Due to the fact the WWF had just lost their lawsuit to the World Wildlife Fund, they immediately had to rebrand all new merchandise released. This affected WWF Raw (Xbox), WMX8 ( GameCube) but also led to copies of "WWE" Smackdown! KYR complete with an alternate logo shipping out nearly two years after the original release and years after Sony had already moved on to the PS2!

SmackDown! 2 has been getting so much love on KZbin lately and it's brilliant. This was the game that got me into wrestling before I'd even watched wrestling. So many fond memories of playing it with my cousins as an 8 year old kid. Then I got a PS2 and SYM a few years later for Christmas 2002 and it blew my childhood mind. Probably the biggest generational leap in the history of the series. Both of these games still hold up, though I do wish SD2 played a little slower. Considering you're not primarily a gaming channel, absolutely loving these videos! You do the best retrospective wrestling game reviews on KZbin. You should collab with DF Retro. 😂👍

This game is how I became a WWF fan. I remember beating season mode or something and unlocking stone cold. Who became my favorite wrestler of all time that thanks to that game. Then later when I was 16. I would get kazaa/limewire. And dowoad a bunch of Steve Austin clips and matches. And go through fuedes and stuff retroactively. So sick.

I played 4 years of Season Mode in SD2 about a year and a half ago now and I had an absolute blast with it again. Yeah we're spoiled by some Quality of Life stuff nowadays, but there's something about the old wrestling games that modern ones just don't have. I don't know how to describe it...it's a this synergy, this intangible thing that makes them so awesome to play...and it's that thing that kept me playing these games the entire year until the next one came out...whereas nowadays, 2K22 might be the most enjoyable game in the 2K franchise, but it still doesn't hook me in the same way the old game did because it's missing that THING the old game had. SvR 08 is when I felt that the series lost that IT factor and never got it back.

One friend had smack down 2, and I played it for a while, and knew I wanted it asap. My parents asked what I wanted for Christmas that year, and I said I only wanted smack down 2, not a single other thing. My mum thought I was just saying nothing else because we weren’t exactly rich in the early 00s, so she got thunder instead, and some other gifts I wasn’t interested in. I put it back under the tree 😂 and can’t even remember what the other presents were, but I didn’t touch them lol. I explained to her my frustrations, but she said thunder was like quarter the price, and she would get other things to make up the difference, I explained to her why thunder was so much cheaper and the whole wcw brand was an abomination at this point, and she single handily killed Christmas and my childhood (okay I didn’t exactly say that last part lol) she redeemed herself when gta San Andreas came out, and she didn’t hesitate buying me a copy lol.

I just found it funny that my mums justification was money’s tight, but there was always a box of beer in the fridge like 5-6 days a week them days 😂 one thing great about thunder was if ya changed factions, the wrestlers attires changed to suit which was an awesome feature, and the rants were cool. Ironically I liked playing nitro which was extremely similar, because I use to play against my brother, but he moved out by the time smack down 2 came out, and I was over the limited style of game play those titles had, and it just wasn’t as fun playing solo like smack down games were.

I (in Canada) remember season mode just continuing on forever and there were 26 unlockable move sets (Unknown A-Z). Many were for other wrestlers in other companies like WCW. One was Hulk Hogan's which let you unlock a Leg Drop finisher, another was Sting which gave you a unique reverse ddt (both moves were 5 damage). After 6 years in season mode, all 26 move sets were unlocked as a reward for making it so far. And thus, all moves were unlocked.

@@chazgirl6186 nope. You do get repeats, but it also pulls in CAWs + unlocks. I had my BookerT CAW steal a belt from a custom CAW, who I wasn't playing as. Freaky part was this happened a few days after Booker did that TV lol

@@Methazar aw 😢, after I finished my first season the next cut scene was the same as season one's first, so I quit out of story mode 😅

Man I remember playing this game so much.. As usual in Attitude Era games, I played with Kane.. I also remember playing with Big Boss Man because his Boss Man Slam was fast to the point that it was broken in matches where we started with 2-3 finishers

This game was so fun back in the day, I remember my mother getting it for me as a Christmas present back in 2000. The graphics at the time were awesome. Even better than N64 No mercy. Only problem I had with the game is you could not see someone tap out, and the Entrances were to basic, just the characters walking with their titantron in the background. Still the game was a 9/10.
