The smackdown series games were very fast and fun compared to the other wrestling franchises, that focused on a much slower and methodic game play. SmackDown 2 had easy to memorize moves and intuitive fighting system and a story mode with custom characters was like a dream come true. For the era it looked amazing, although it didn't age the best.

Uno de los peores must play de Metacritic, a este juego le quitas la licencia de Smackdown y no queda nada.

I have had lots and lots of fun with this game. Smackdown series is the best game series of all time.

Adictivo, divertido, fluido y lleno de contenido, este es realmente un juego muy completo.

one of the best games of the brand. A game mode more frenetic than other deliveries, and quite entertaining. the roster is good and has the most iconic superstars of that time.

Great game, i remember creating my own character and love customizing it, awesome gameplay great for a ps1 game, don't know how many hours i've spent playing this, what a good time

Awesome game about wrestling on PS1,nice soundtrack,big choise of wrestlers,it's on of the legendary games about World Wrestling Federation.

What a game!! The Season is really long and you earn to unlock new people. The vids that come up every week can get repetitive though, but I still love it!

A brilliant varied game with a range of moves, specials, customisable characters and arenas.

The best wrestling game on the original Playstation. Yukes knew they would have to up their game after the original Smackdown as Aki Corporation released WWF No Mercy on the Nintendo 64 a few months prior and boy did they do a fantastic job. The wrestler models looked good for 2000 and still look good today. The entrances were good but **** that they were shortened by memory limitations. The gameplay is super addictive. The controls are tight, responsive and easy to learn. It had a near perfect roster and all the match types you want. The career mode is good and the loading times are not irritating as fans claim they are. The create a wrestler was improved. It introduced the TLC and Hell In A Cell match types for the first time and the series would continue to introduce new match types. I really liked the BGMs. These were the main problems with Smackdown 2: There is NO selling from wrestlers when you grapple them and even when you perform a finisher. The Hell in a Cell looks terrible. Most of the finishers are reused and some of them look crap. The next game in the WWF Smackdown series, WWF Smackdown: Just Bring It fixed some of the problems in this game. The entrances would start to become more realistic after JBI, the BGMs were getting better, the finishers would look much more brutal and realistic as the series continued, every wrestler would get a second finisher from this game, new match types would be introduced and the Hell in a Cell would be improved on after this game. A classic.

There is the one of the best wrestling game of all time, and the best fighting game after Tekken3! The Rock Layeth the SmackDown. Real video entrances of all wrestlers than in WWF No Mercy due to cartridge's limit!

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This was a defining game for the first Playstation as its gameplay was good, the unlockables seemed infinite, it had a great list of playable wrestlers and was generally enjoyable.
