WWF Smackdown! was released for the PlayStation back in 2000. Following the likes of WWF War Zone and WWF Attitude, the game gave wrestling fans a brand new way to play WWF matches on console and thanks to new developer Yukes working on the game, WWF Smackdown on PS1 was very different to past PS1 WWF games.
While not exactly similar, WWF Smackdown took inspiration from the previous AKI games by greatly simplifying the controls. War Zone and Atittude forced players to use button combinations in order to pull off basic moves. In Smackdown, everything was made way more accessible and easy with a much more approachable control scheme; anyone could pick up Smackdown and master the game. Feedback was very positive, and so began a long lasting relationship between Yukes and the WWF that brought us the Smackdown series of games (including Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth and Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain). The succesful run of Smackdown games can all be traced back to Smackdown 1 on PS1.

As a person that only played the PlayStation wrestling games smackdown blew my mind when I first saw it and I begged my mom for a month straight to buy it for me. One day I came home from school went to play OG GTA and lo and behold smackdown starts up! My mom bought it for me and hid it in my PlayStation One of the better memories for my childhood

WWF Smackdown 1 just isn't that great. The gameplay is way too fast, arcadey, no one sells anything, and the create a wrestler is downright terrible with only 4 create slots.

I honestly think what makes these games stand out and remembered was because they were simple, easy for people who hadn’t played a wrestling game to get into, simple controls, fast paced arcade like fun and an epic pumping soundtrack that fits in perfectly with the pace of the game. Of course other smack down games were fantastic but to me the fun will always lie in the first 2 smack down games but that’s just my opinion

Growing up with a Playstation WWF Smackdown was the game that made me enjoy WWE games cause I hated the controls and clunkiness of the Acclaim games. The sequel SmackDown 2 is one of my favorite games ever because it expanded so much on the first. The first sparked a foundation that spawned classic sequels and made the PlayStation WWE games top tier for years to come.

The DEMO blew my F***ing socks off! "The Rocks Eyebrow moves, he takes off his elbow pad" It was the best looking wrestling game by far. Something that maybe not so important now, but back then was how fast the game loaded, especially compared to attitude! No smackdown game ever came close when it came to load times. Also I personally prefer season mode in Smackdown 1 over 2. SD2 season mode had loads more loading screens and the annoying bars that would fight each other.

One of the things I like most about wrestling, is even though I don't like wrestling, I still love hearing about it despite not watching it for 19 years. I stopped in 2003, I've tried a couple of times since, the odd mania, but nothing ever got me back into it. It seems a lot of people share that view too, the fact you used to like it has you in it for life, even after you can't bear to watch it anymore.

I went to a local gaming store in my community and tried it out. After five minutes of playing it, I immediately bought Smackdown! I remember when many WWF fans thought it was a big mistake for the WWF to leave Acclaim to have THQ & Yukes develop WWF wrestling games, as the WCW games were a disaster on PS1. But Yukes was a new gaming developer. After that, Yukes had great WWF/WWE games for many years. Smackdown 1 & 2 are the best wrestling games on PS1 in my opinion.

You make a lot of great points! I def remember the feeling of Playstation finally getting a wrestling game that was actually great at that time! I remember seeing the Rock actually do the people's elbow in game! No mercy had it but it wasnt like in SD! All the new backstage areas were just great too! It was the 1st wrestling game that PS fans could be proud of during that time period lol! It was so far ahead of WarZone & Raw! There finally was a PS1 game that made some N64 fans really want to play it!

You should cover a game called Wrestling Empire, it's very funny and the career mode is surprisingly good

Smack down 2 was sooo classic. Can’t wait to see the review on it. I remember me and my friends had the multitap and we used to play the season mode crazy lol.

The thing that makes Smackdown's in-ring visual presentation so much better than War Zone and Attitude's is the variety of camera angles, and the lighting. The lighting in Attitude and War Zone was very flat, with minimal cast shadows from a single light source; whereas Smackdown is rendering multiple cast shadows from various light sources - just how it is in an arena, along with core shadows and reflected light on the models themselves, which gives a more convincing and true to life appearance.

Huge improvement from Warzone and Attitude. Faster movements, more vibrant, none of that goofy digitized look of the two previous WWF games I mentioned.

You nailed it. It might not be the best wrestling game of the bunch but when we were stuck extremely mediocre games like War Zone and and Attitude this was a MUCH welcome change. I played this and almost this exclusively from the release til Smackdown 2 came out. Creating your own PPV i found fascinating and would do that for hours!

Hey man, love the channel, been getting back into old wrestling lately, complimenting it with your videos. Really love the old wrestling game videos, was so obsessed with any new wrestling game when I was a youngster. Will you be covering any of the overhaul mods for any games? Here Comes the Pain 2.0 is pretty neat, updated roster and added wrestlers. I doubt one could fill a video but maybe just take a look at a few for one? Just a thought. Cheers, take care.

The best thing about this game is that you didn't need to be a Wrestling fan to enjoy this with your friends with its simple controls and arcade style for anyone while No Mercy and WM 2000 are more for Wrestling Fans.

This game is what introduced me to WWF and made me start watching it. Thus becoming a fan So this game has a very special place in my heart But I must admit. After replying it again in 2018. It has aged badly but still has a special place in my heart
