Advantages: ?

Disadvantages: too easy, becomes boring

At the time when WWF Smackdown was set to be released I was quite excited and looking forward to it. Having loved WWF Attitude, I was rather hoping a superb game was to be released. I bought the game at the recommendation of a few friends and at the recomendations of some writers who had reviewed it in magazine articles. It had been spoken of as a superb game which was extremely entertaining to play. This made me decide to buy the game.

Having played the game inside out, I find it well and truly over-hyped. In my views it was overhyped and that spoiled what was a decent game but was made to look outstanding so expectations were high.

For those who are not familiar to the game, it is basically a wrestling game. One of the worst things about the game is the music. I was with the commentary and expected there to be more of it, like in WWF Attitude where the commentary made part of the game. Instead, Smackdown has opted for some dull, repetitive music that repeats itself continuously.

The most important point about a game is its’ enjoyability and the fun it provides. WWF Smackdown is faster in terms of both game speed and its far too easy. The ease of play becomes makes the game extremely boring when you win and win forever. Smackdown is not much of a challenge and within a few days I was already bored with it!

In Attitude there is also a season mode which at first is enjoyable but rather like the rest of the game becomes dull and tedious after a short while.

Having played the game, I would advise you to stay clear from it as it is way overrated and when you finally get the game you expect lots but receive nothing. In my opinion my money could have been spent elesewhere at a better place.
