WWE: Smackdown! Just Bring It!

After being bored to tears with WWE 12 and WWE 13, I always like to rewind time and play THQ's better offerings. Here's my review-Graphics-The one thing I wasn't too crazy about in this game was the graphics. They're not bad by any means, in fact, the wrestlers move fast and fluid with lots of animation. However, during the entrances is the ugliest part of the game. I realize this game came out in 2001, but wow, the entrances didn't show a "next gen leap" at all. Square heads, flat faces, boxy hands and such rear it's ugly head.That's about as bad as the game looks (cutscenes and entrances), however, once you get into the ring, the game is beautiful. The animation is really good. I particularly was fond of when you pulled off a reversal only to suplex or clothesline an opponent who'd sell a move really good. All of the moves have impact which is missing from the new WWE games. A suplex looks like it really hurts, clotheslines or bodyslams look equally painful. Basically, any move in the game looks fantastic and the wrestlers actually look good in the ring with no slowdown.Sound-There's something I actually like about the annoying commentary found in this game. Michael Cole and Tazz's commentary are really brutal. I wonder why being that past games ike WWF warzone or WWF attitude actually had stellar commentary.The commentary sounds like every phrase is telegraphed in the sense of "Perry...Saturn...is (insert)". It doesn't sound natural at all.The music is appropriate and I liked some of the theme songs like Dean Malenko's James Bond inspired song.The slams and such sound nice. There's no grunts that I hear and the weapons had dull thuds.Gameplay-First off, the one thing I hate about the control is that it doesn't support analog control. To some this is minor, but I feel a wrestling game should always support analog control.Anyway, the control is about the same as the previous smackdown being that square is reverse, triangle is run, X is to punch or kick and O is to grapple. The other buttons aren't really needed until you find yourself in a match featuring more than 2 wrestlers.I really like how smooth the control scheme is in this game and wish they still used this for modern games. The control is super responsive.The game's roster is the only gripe I had. It features- Perry Saturn, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Test, Albert, Dudley Boys, Edge, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Triple H, Undertaker, Kane, Big Show, Raven, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rikishi and such.I'm surprised this game didn't feature a better roster being that there were a good amount of wrestlers around then and this was around the invasion angle's beginning. (SDSYM has a better roster)The CAW mode really stinks to be honest. I couldn't even pick a wrestler's theme song and the options are limited.I really don't have much to say bad about the game, but it is a good game featuring a decent roster of wrestlers and some cool perks. Some things worth noting would be that it has an excellent TLC match, you can fight in the crowd...but I felt the wrestlers got up too fast. Even after hitting them with a finisher, they'd get back up.

Got my son a ps2 and decided to get him some of my favorite games from back in the day and it doesn't disappoint. I remember playing this and thinking it looked great and now playing I'm like this looks terrible but it's better than any of the new wwe games by a wide margin

Delivered on time. This game takes me back!!! Came like new just as the seller promoted.

I grew up with this game so I was so happy to get it back I loved it

the seller i got the game from if I'm being honest i may not get from again. the condition of the game wasn't really the greatest. really could've been better. the copy of the game that i have works but again not the best condition. that by all means doesn't hurt the experience that i had with it. the game is very fun and over the top just as i remember it. just poor condition

This game came with everything described and in good shape

I grew up with this game. Really great for its time, but now its super outdated but its still nice to go back and play it because this was made during a time when wrestling was really good!.

fun game, love the old school /attitude era games

It may have only included the disc, but I figured out how to play pretty quick. Really cool game!

Game is good!

Amazing game love the old WWF Games
