SMACKDOWN 2 REVIEW
Finally the Rock has come back to the Playstation. Yes the Rock and the rest of the WWF are coming back to playstations around the world. The makers of Smackdown! Have now hit with a sequel to the great game; Smackdown 2! Know Your Role.
If you thought Smackdown was good then wait till you play Smackdown 2!! It has new modes, great features the. Ever wanted to put your most hated player through a table? Well you can because in Smackdown 2 you can have table matches put those candy ASSES through tables!
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be Jeff or Matt Hardy, 15ft above the ring? Well all you have to do is buy Smackdown 2 and play the all new ladder matches
The TLC match was made famous by the Dudley's, The Hardy's and Edge/Christian this year at Summerslam and you can relive it too as the all special Tables and Ladders and Chairs (oh my!) match is included too.
Kane and Undertaker have had some memorable matches but who can forget their Casket Match? If you want to relive the moment then you can, as the Casket match is another of the long list of modes in the game.
HHH and Rock had a great Iron Man match this past Judgment Day in June, well now you can relive it as you can take on anyone in this special mode; Iron Man Match. Play it from a range of times and show how damn good you really are!

TLC Match
In general Smackdown 2 is a brilliant game and definitely better than Smackdown 1 but there are a few little things that should have been put in. For example in the HELL IN A CELL match you can put them through the top
J but only in the middle and you have to go through with them L (you don't actually go through it you just hold on to the edge and drop down, but there is no other way of doing a move through it without going through it yourself). Also you cant do Choke Slams or Last Rides or any other moves (there are exceptions which aren't all that great) off the cell it's just like there's some sort of a invisible barrier there to stop you L . You can do super power bombs, monkey tosses and some sort of a Tazz suplex off it but even if you go right to the edge and do the move off the cell they don't go through it they just magically go through it L (I mean like ghosts through walls) but you can Irish whip them onto the announce tables and jump off the cell and put them trough the table J . Also in table matches when you go to do a power bomb or a piledriver or a rock bottom (by the way those are the only GROUND moves you can do through a table) through the table and they counter with the back body drop you will be thrown off but if there is a table directly behind you, you won't be put through it, once again you'll magically go through it like ghosts L . Oh and by the way when I say there the only GROUND moves you can do I don't mean from the ground onto the table I mean the computer climbs you up onto the table and does it from there so if you do a Last Ride onto the table it will just be pushed out of the way by your body L the good thing is you can Irish whip them onto a table and do aerial moves trough it J . The create a superstar has been supped up it's so amazing changing there facial features to make them look like anyone (even your worst enemy) and there are a lot more superstars to choose from e.g. Steven Richards, Crash Holly, Essa Rios and many many more. So in conclusion I would have to say it is one of the best wrestling games ever so I hope you have a lot of fun playing it- ENJOY!!!!!! J J J J
