Editorial Review:
Product description: WWF Smackdown enters the wrestling game ring with plenty of features that should bump up the testosterone levels of virtual grappling fans. Endorsed by the granddaddy of celebrity wrestling leagues, this game boasts an impressive cast of over 30 World Wrestling Federation mega-stars, including The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Undertaker. Even WWF head honcho Vince McMahon returns to the ring, appropriately decked out in his signature spiffy designer suit.
Each wrestler sports his (or her--fan-turned-wrestler Tori is a featured character) special moves, taunts and finishers. And unlike some of yesterday's wrestling games, WWF Smackdown's gameplay is fuelled by an impressive game engine, allowing for fluid character moves, realistic lighting and shadows, and cool effects.
The Advanced Season mode is the star of this game, offering all of the drama of the real deal. The action is just as heavy off the ring as on, with spontaneous backstage brawls heating up the kitchen and spilling onto the loading dock. In this game, players pick their friends, pick on foes and burn those who've double-crossed them--it's all about paving a career path headed for success. Speaking of playing it your way, the Create-a-Superstar option allows players to customise every detail of a character. Choose a wrestler's appearance, custom moves and fighting style, history--even height and weight. It all adds up to a fast and furious virtual version of the real thing.

I love WWF Smackdown!, and I've got the calluses on my thumbs to prove it. I hear that WWE Smackdown! 2: Know Your Role is even better, but this first Smackdown! title puts every other wrestling game I have ever played to shame. There is room for improvement, but there's little not to love about the wrestling action unleashed from this Playstation CD. You have to start off with the wrestlers; you get all of the big names from WWF (now WWE) at the time, and most of them look great. Chyna's animated character looks atrocious, with a tiny head set atop a mountain of muscles, but I have few other complaints in this department. I am a fan of The Rock, and this game has really captured the style and look of my favorite wrestler, all the way down ... Read More:

My prediction was right: a game with class, playability and splendor. Play championship, single match, tag match and more.

WWF Smackdown is a huge improvement on WWF Attitude, and with new wrestlers, new matches, new moves...it is a better game. Create-A-Wrestler has more choice, but isn't set out as well on this as Attitude. This game is so much faster than Attitude and Warzone, and the graphics are better still, not to mention, there is more than ten people in the crowds. For wrestling fans this game is a top buy, which can be bought secong hand for under £20! Go on, buy it!

Smackdown - what a game!!! When you first buy the game you seem to think "AH HELL YEAH!!! - IM GETTIN SMACKDOWN!!!!" I have had the game since about a week after it come out, and i am still playing the game today - yeah, the interviews, matches and wrestlers do get boring after a while, but the actual gameplay itself isnt too bad. You have most of the up - to date characters, some still in the WWF, some have left. It is a good game, but if I were you, I wouldnt buy it today, seeing as Smackdown 2 Know your role is coming out next Friday, feauturing more wrestlers, and better graphics and matches - (from the reviews that I have seen - it looks like the best wrestling game out). Overall, yeah, buy the game but only if you are getting fed up with ... Read More:

When I first got Smackdown on the day it came out, I was amazed. I could not believe the fast speed, great graphics, backstage, and a brilliant People's Elbow. But, after about two hours I started to realise it wasn't as great as I thought. For one thing, even on Attitude you had more match options (hardcore 4 way etc.). The backstage is boring, its just a waste of time going there. The season mode is completely lame, opposite to what the hype was saying. If you don't have this game yet, don't buy it. Save your money for the amazing Smackdown 2 which comes out in two weeks! (PS - don't believe the hype!)
