Description
Japanese Yuke's wrestling, where WWF superstars clash in the ring with official license. Created by Yuke's and THQ, released in 2000 in the United States and Europe under the WWF SmackDown title. Over forty licensed WWF wrestlers including The Rock, Stone Cold and Triple H, real-time 3D ring with martial-arts strikes, Season career mode with licensed scenarios, four-player multiplayer mode and WWF-licensed rock soundtrack. Western edition under the WWF SmackDown title.
A wrestling game from Yuke's and THQ, WWF SmackDown! imposes a snappy pace and immediate handling that cut against the heaviness of rival productions, laying the foundations of a long cult series. The fluid combat system, the show mood and the addictive season mode make it a great arcade grappling game. The end of generation 3D and content still finding its feet place it a notch below its sequels. An excellent wrestling game for fans of festive multiplayer action and of the period WWF.
