WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain for PlayStation 2

Pros: Best wrestling game made so far in every catagory.

Cons: Some minor grappling issues, pretty much taps out PS2 hardware.

The Bottom Line: If you are a fan of wrestling, looking for a fun multiplayer game, or both, you must buy it now. Very fun all-around

Review: OVERVIEW Who hasn't heard of the WWE (formerly the WWF)? It is the most dominant brand in professional wrestling. Any famous wrestlers who haven't crossed the boss (Vince McMahon, Owner, CEO, etc...) all have a seat on the roster. WWE is a media ...

Pros: loadsa characters

Cons: venues look same

Review: the characters look real small and the the graphics are obscuring eg. bodies seem to fall in2 either another person or object!! overall the story is short but there is so much u can put on a ps2 unlike the X Box. I am loyal Sony fan always will be. hope ...

Pros: Lots of superstars and legends, plenty of unlockables, lots of matches.

Cons: No voiceovers nor commentary, created wrestlers don't have many polygons.

Review: WWE SmackDown! is a long-lived series, but now it is better than ever, with over 40 superstars to choose from, a story line in season mode that was actually written by the WWE writers themselves, the inclusion of the Elimination Chamber and Bra & Panties ...

Pros: Create a Wrestler

Cons: Not enough Legends

Review: "Smackdown" has become evolved into a great franchise. Starting with the first "Smackdown" for PS1, to now, each aspect has been improved. The season mode has enough story lines to keep you busy for a long ...

Pros: Best Smackdown yet

Cons: Plays pretty much just like the one released 4 years ago

The Bottom Line: Outdated Triple H(GH) references are always pretty fun.

Pros: Graphics, controls, sounds....

Cons: A few wrestlers are left out...

The Bottom Line: Another in the long line of Smackdown games. The best so far but not until the next one.

Pros: Incredible graphics, revamped season mode, up-to-date roster, wrestler signature taunts/ moves

Cons: Lots of bugs during matches, some smaller details ignored, pathetic sound

The Bottom Line: For any hardcore or even causal wrestling/ fighting game fan, this is where it's at, and things aren't changing anytime soon.

Review: (Note: I'm trying out a new review format here to help me give the game a more accurate score, so bear with me in terms of why I give out the ratings I do, but the text itself will tell you so much more than the points will.) The Smackdown! series of ...

Pros: A new damage system improves already great gameplay. The greatest wrestling game out today.

Cons: Wrestling feuds change quickly, so by now, the game will feel a bit dated.

The Bottom Line: Like wrestling? Like the previous Smackdown games? Get this game...you won't regret it.

Review: Hands down, "WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain" is the greatest wresting game out there for the PS2, and possibly the greatest wrestling game for any system. To fans of the previous Smackdown installment, the controls will feel familiar. There is, ...
