Description

Lay the SmackDown! on your enemies with your own created jabroni or as one of the World Wrestling Federation's top superstars. Make friends and then break them as you roam backstage from the boiler room to the kitchen. Call upon your allies for help and then climb over them as you kick, grapple, and People's Elbow your way to the top. Just remember that backstage politics can work against you--don't let The Rock run-ins, well-placed metal chairs, and McMahon-appointed guest referees get you in the end.

good

I actually bought this game for boyfriend since he needs it for collection, he loved it! I spent a lot looking for it when it was under my nose the whole time
 

the smackdown that started the francise.

this game when you play it now you loke at it in amazed at how far we came as far as graphics in game have gone and how game play has came. this game was fun for me when first playing it back in 1999. know 10 years later I still a player of the smackdown franchise I may not think of it as the greates game but I see it as something that started a sucessfull franchise.
 

Ah, the good ol' days of the WWE

This was released back in early 2000, when the WWE was in its prime. You couldn't deny the excitement and the greatness of this game or era. It was a major improvement over the previous 1999 game Attitude. There were a lot of great things about this game, but also some disadvantages.

The following are parts of the game I rate from one to 10 (with 10 being the highest rating):

Roster: 8 - It had 90 percent of the current roster at that time, but I think lacked some of the newer elite superstars, such as Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, and other superstars who were still active, such as The British Bulldog. It also only contained 3 female superstars out of the 36-person roster, but all in all, they made good choices.

Season Mode: 9 - Most people didn't like season mode, but it didn't bother me. However, I did find it annoying when unimportant cut-scenes, such as "I wonder what Steve Austin is talking about", popped up after every other match. Even with the pointless, corny cutscenes, it didn't have the 30 second loading screens the second game had or ten seconds to decide a winner of the match when skipping it (this game only takes a split second to determine)

Furthermore, in title matches, singles titles can sometimes randomly be held in 3- or 4-way dances, and not always against the same opponent(s) at every event in only a singles match, as is the case in KYR.

Rankings: 7 - It seems most superstars win far more often than others and are almost guaranteed to win their match (examples: Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Big Show, Undertaker, Mankind), even when their heart's are at the minimum and the opponent at the maximum. However, in comparison to Know Your Role, the rankings determine getting a title shot of any title at any time rather than being limited to a certain championship division.

Gameplay: 9.5 - People complain about the gameplay being outdated or lacking fun, but it was the best wrestling game for its time. This is the only game that tells you the name of superstars' moves and what their most powerful moves (white letters for normal moves, gold letters for finishers and favorite moves).

Overall: 8.5 - If you are not a fan of the current WWE, but were a fan of what happened in 1998-2001, then this is the game for you. idk what else to say but to tell you that it's worth the money. you now can probably buy this for a cheap price at your local video game store or some thing.
 

Not bad for their first try.

Taking over the WWF/WWE videogame license from Acclaim, Developer Yukes and THQ made giant improvements in the graphics and gameplay of the WWE experience for the original Playstation, making the game experience look and feel that much more like what a wrestling fan might see of their favorite performers on TV.

For being their first try, Yukes came very close to perfecting this title with the only real weak point to it, in my opinion being the really lousy and limited set of options available in the Create-A-Wrestler feature which consisted of a few unlockables pre-built to resemble performers who had not otherwise been included and a large number of parts seemingly carried over from the games Japanese origins as the Toukon Retsuden series.

On the upside, building up your "created" characters in Season mode is quite fun, if a little bit frustrating in the early going as you try to improve your over all abilities and stats.

That flaw aside, the game was a vast improvement in terms of play and presentation over the Acclaim titles War Zone and Attitude, which weren't half bad themselves.
 

Not the best

There r much better games then this but i liek it though. I saw sevral problum and tht is,is tht the story line is so short and also u only have a small amount of moves. U have ur Speical and ur regular moves. U press O then right,left,up,and down. ADn when u run. But other then tht its a cool game. They have cool matchs and some cool action.
