Video Game Reviews of WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role
Customer Review: Great PS1 wrestling game
Summary: 5 Stars
Since this game was made for the ps1 its limitations shows how good the game was. The most fun thing I like about this game is picking up the furniture and throwing them like they're made of paper. Sure the recent wrestling games are realistic but that takes the humor and fun out of it. I love these kinds of thing. I also like the fact that you can fight back stage and outside, and in the boiler room the latest Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 can't do that. It's all inside or around the ring which is kind of a let down in my opinion. this game had both good ring fighting and good outside fighting.
think of it this way this game is the father of Smackdown vs. Raw 2010. If Smackdown 2 wasn't a good game then Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 would never be released.
thoughts:
smackdown vs. Raw should try to learn its roots and try to bring back the hardcore outdoor fighting that they once had. Interact with the environment already!
Description of WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role
SmackDown! 2 is the best wrestling game for the PlayStation, period. In both its graphics and gameplay, it's very similar to the first SmackDown!, except that players will find a mother lode of options for spicing up their wrestling lives.Besides season mode, players can fight in ladder, table, and chair matches. Their battles can spill over into back areas, in which furniture and even traffic abound. Wrestlers can even drive a forklift over their opponents for particularly painful results. All of the ring entrances are there in fine detail. Players also can create their own wrestler with hair, weight, and accessory options that rival those of any wrestling game out there.
Still missing is the color commentary; also, the move set for each wrestler is kind of limited. Overall, players can expect a fun experience that, while not perfect, is certainly the top wrestling title for the system. --Robb Guido
Pros:
- Stellar graphics and user-friendly controls
- Countless options
- Still no color commentary
Licensed by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), this sequel to the popular WWF SmackDown has made several improvements upon its predecessor. There are now more than 50 wrestlers from which to choose, including the Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Chyna. New gameplay modes include Ladder Match, Hell in a Cell, Casket Match, and Tornado Tag-Team Match. To mimic the TV show's format even further, plots are developed through cutscenes that feature the voices of the superstars. You can create your own wrestler or even a new pay-per-view event. Season mode includes more matches, events, and pay-per-view events than did its predecessor. It all adds up to a fast and furious virtual version of the real thing.
