I have a couple of questions about this game, and hopefully someone can give me the answers (no moron replies)

Story Mode:
The game quits if you lose, no sliding down the rankings?

Can you only enter one character into story mode? On Smackdown 2, you could enter as many as you wanted to

You can't choose what league you enter? No European or Intercontinental, just the one league?

---

I hope I'm missing something here, because otherwise this game blows.

Is there still the hell in a cell, is it better than the one in Smackdown 2?

Bigger?
More places to send Fred Durst, err I mean your opponent through?

THey done this on purpose. TO boost sales of Smackdown 4. They knew Smackdown 3 was gonna be a huge seller no matter how good or bad the game was. As they have made it that bad, we are talking about the next installment allready and how it can be improved.

After playing the game fo a few more hours, i have to admit that it aint as bad as i first thought. BUt i cant see me playing this game past the end of the week. I should have unlocked everything by then. I only really enjoy the single player. I think the multiplayer is dodged up and doesnt "work". the control system for facing a different opponent just aint right.

When my mates come round we play on Wrestlemania or NO mercy on the N64. they may be slower, but they are much more playable.

As much as I love playing the game, it could have been so much better.

The story mode would have been better if it was like Smackdown 2.

Hopefully, Smackdown 4 will be much better (if there is going to be a Smackdown 4).

Also, is it me or do you only seem to walk out with the belt you have during story mode ? When i play an exhibition match it'll say that i'm the wwf champion next to my name, but theres no sign of the belt :-(

The only way to get around this is an entrance like tag champions which can be selected in stables. Thing is your tag team will walk down the isle with the belts even when their not the champs which is pretty stupid.

A thing that gets to me with Story mode is the fact that you could win the title with your created character, then moments later your friend goes through story mode with their character and when they get a title shot, theres no way you can defend your title cause the stupid comp controls the wrestler and all you can do is watch as your mate beats the hell outta your bloke and takes your belt !

Also, me and my friends tried out matches only to find that belts don't change hands through exhibition matches ! We even went into a TLC match which said "TLC Title Match". Sure enough the belt was hanging above the ring and after a hard fought battle the belt was finally grabbed.......did it change hands ? NOPE !!!!! God thats crap ! So the only way you can win a title is through the "story mode" (term used loosely) and you can't even defend your title against human opponents !

I was well disappointed with this game. To the point that i'm taking it back this week and using the money for pro evo and silent hill 2

well these Smackdown 3 stories only seem to last 3 matches. the No mercy srories were about 10 matches long each.

After playing Smackdown:JBI today for about 2 hours+ i have found it quite boring, control system is very poor in my opinion. But maybe in time i may get used to it. I suppose its probably becasue i have the No mercy control system inprinted in my mind.
