WWE Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain (thoughts?)

*Taloniss* · 11-04-2003, 10:21 AM

I love this game. I just finished my first season as John Cena. I had the WWE Title from Vengence all the way to WM. Gonna start my next season as John Cena again, but move to Raw this time.

Word Life, Time for some Basic Thuganomics, Yo.

*EDIT* Was in a bit of a rush before, so here's my extended thoughts:

The gameplay is definetly great. I'd rank this up there with No Mercy, and it's the best game of the three that just came out (WMXIX, Raw 2, SM:HCTP) The submission system is excellent, the physchology you can use is superb and the overall package is just fantastic.

The graphics are a bit hit and miss. Some wrestlers look like they should, some don't. Triple H looks like Val Venis for example. The animation on the moves is great though. Some of the best out there. They took the time to animate everyones variation on like, every move. Gotta love 30 different clotheslines, 20 different suplexes, 20 powerbombs, 5 tombstones, ect.

The season mode is really deep. I've played through it twice now, and I've never seen a storyline repeat (as long as you don't make the same choices over and over)

I wish there was some more voice samples in the game, but such as it is.

Here comes the pain, there goes my social life. *Goes back to playing season mode*
