    A step down from smackdown 2 in every way except graphically.

    This game looks great. The wrestler entrance scenes are great and the controls are o.k but the gameplay is very poor. Once you have unlocked the hidden items the game loses its charm very quickly. The season mode in smackdown 2 is better than the story mode in this game, and THQ sold the game on the merit that the story mode was the best ever. Well sorry guys but you will have to try This game looks great. The wrestler entrance scenes are great and the controls are o.k but the gameplay is very poor.

    It's a great multiplayer game, no bones about it. It the best thing in the world to put your mate through the top of a steel cell! However lets not be blind to the bad points. 1 player mode is absolute cack. Why did they not put any effort into it. It is kinda samey to Smackdown 2. Where's RVD? In conclusion, great with your mates, not a game for a lonely night in.

    Game play, graphics and sound are fine. Story mode needs to be expanded. It would also be nice to hear the Rock and the rest speak for themselves.

    The season really sucks...even smackdown one season is better than smackdown jbi. After winning the title, the season is bloody over and where is the Royal Rumble season?, I was waiting for that, now I have to play the royal rumble on the exibition mode...really sucks...I'm moving to RAW..., you winners stay here on smackdown...

    Not even good. you can only pick one title to go after that the seasons is done. they only made this game so they could make some $$$. don't buy this game i would't take this game if someone gave me $5 maybe $30 but not 5.

    This game is so much fun, the graphics are great, the game play is pretty fast and is fun, but the roster is out of date, the physics suck and the story sucks (too shallow), overall it's lots of fun (excellent for parties and 4 having friends over) but this would be better named Smack Down 2.5 rather than 3.

    This game has everything a wrestling fan would like.... BUt the only down flaw is that it does not have any blood. Other than that it is by far the best wrestilng game I have played.

    Overall good game. I didn't like the commentary, they sounded like robots. And they really needed to update the wrestlers outfits.

    The first Smackdown game released on Playstation 2 and it was a step up from the previous two games. Really fun to play with friends and is well worth a look in if you own the system.

    It can be amazingly fun at times, and the production value, laden with WWF panache, is top-notch.

    An excellent wrestling game offering enhanced creation tools, excellent graphics, fast paced action and a ton of new (and old) gameplay modes.
