The original case of this game had the WWF logo on the cover. But, by the time it came out as a part of the "PS2 Greatest Hits" collection, WWF changed to WWE. Therefore, the cover was changed to have the WWE logo and the game remained the same with the WWF logo and dialogue referring to it as WWF
@kamiloalvarez58002 жыл бұрын
it also happened with smackdown 2 know your role, in the rerelease in 2002 the logo was changed to the ruthless agression era one of that time, and the wwf logo was changed to the wwe one is funny how in that rerelease in the cover art, chyna still appears, even if she already left the company in really bad terms, same for eddie guerrero

I remember walking into my cousins room with my twin. My cousin wasn’t there so we cranked up his ps2 and he had just gotten this game. It was the first time I got my hands on a wrestling game on ps2. I got The Undertaker and my twin got Jeff Hardy. After that day we played wrestling games everyday for probably 10 years. I’ll never forget this game!
