Paid Members Accident Prone Posted October 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2019 If it weren't for the insane loading times and long-winded career mode (watching every match go through a mini-fight with health bars before you can continue gets infuriating fast) I'd say that Smackdown 2 is probably the best WWF video game not called Here Comes The Pain.

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted October 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yep, countless hours spent on SD2 too, including an entire summer holiday! It was the Create-A-PPV mode that sealed the deal for me, as I was always trying to outdo the rankings. The CAW system was very in-depth for it's time as well, so I spent a lot of time recreating my action figures there. I had a fantastic looking Spawn who I gave all the cool moves to.

I remember buying that thinking how bad can it possibly be compared to Wrestlemania. Answer, Very! All the AKI games were good. On World Tour I loved playing as the Ninja. i got bought WWE 19 for Christmas last year. I played the Daniel Bryan story and never played it again.

Merzbow Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 How did they mess IYH up so bad? It's the same engine but plays nothing like WM and looks like utter dogshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyGraham Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well, it seems to be an open secret that AKI/Syn Sofia are doing the AEW game, so we'll all be a lot happier then. Or at least happy to have another game to grumble about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget essentially, Acclaim were pretty fucked at the time with financial issues and lawsuits so rushed it out, unfortunately with no money to do much promotion the game flopped amid terrible reviews.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2019 *CoughWrestleFestCough* I remember a friend and I making our backyard wrestling alteregos and spending a New Year's Day playing the career mode on Smackdown 2. Was heaps of fun. I spent a heck of a long time on Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 as well. Filled my memory card with CAWs. Immense fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
