Story mode? dont make me laugh!!!!
I mean i went through it within an hour... i won the championship with..... A CREATED SUPERSTAR, how UNREALISTIC is that??????? People like the Created superstars should go through a season, a career beofore that have a chance.. to even APPEAR at Raw.... I also disagree with the idea that u can CHOOSE to be a CHAMPION!, yes i think u should be able to choose the superstar... but as soon as u do.. the title should be striped from you!, not just meet the challenger and win... :(
The story mode has let me down.. period.
I also hate when THQ hyped up the crowd's involement and the involvment of the commentators..... and what happened????? i walked into a load of carboard cutouts!, i went to meet Tazz... but not the "real" tazz... i saw the TAZZ STANDEE!!!!!!!!, i thought we could beat em up? you know to get crowd heat? or see special commentators dissing u so u have to beat em up.... we were promised this and more!... but yet we didnt recieve!
The table matches are also a joke!... you set up the table, irish whip em on to it... run to the turnbuckle.... jump off the turnbuckle.. and youve won the match... ohhhh a great 30 seconds of the game :(...
I havent even bothered to go through the story mode, again and agian to get secrets - ill wait till i get a cheat cartridge!
Interferrances are Unrealistic.. i mean if a superstar comes down to the ring.. all u gotta to is run outside the ring... wait to the superstar has come out to get you... then enter the ring again.. and you can almost carry the match on as normal!!!, they just stand there!
I had a match.... hell in the cell... i did about 10 rock bottoms and 3 peoples elbows and scoop slammed him throuh the top.. then faarooq just gets up - does ONE dominator and wins.... grrrrr
WHERES THE BLOOD????? THQ said when they were in production of Smackdown One... they said "we are going to focus on other areas of the game"... okay fair enough.. but smackdown 3 is rated a FIFTEEN! and as this is a UPDATED smackdown 1, and they have had plenty of time... so why no blood?
Whats happend to PAIN.... you hit someone about 50 times with a chair and they just get up (yes very slowly but they still manage to get up) and the continue the match as usual!, u throw em agains a wall... and they just stop at the wall and turn round!... When a car hits you, you slide like your on ice!!!! OMFG! no pain?
Also... when in a 8-man or royal rumble... and you "focus" on one player.... another hits you... and you have to press R2 about 50 million times to get on that player... and by the time you get there - you a$s has been handed to ya... also i was told that player indicators helps.... well they would if they wernt so rubbish!... all the cours blend... so u dont really know who your fighting... and they look all pastell/neon so they look the same.. and having them float really sucks... what ever happened to good ol' indicators at the players feet?
Updated graphics? the only updated graphics were on the head... and then it was a bit "cartoony" and things like kurk angle's suit looked sucked to his body, they TEXTURED the b!oddy suits on and not MODELLED em :(
ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
Things i liked:
* - Referee
* - More Realistic Wrestling
* - Slobberknocker
* - Its fun to play!
* - YES THEY WEAR BELTS!
:D
But if i were you i would stick to the Playstation 1...

WWF SMACKDOWN TWO
http://special.reserve.co.uk/reviews/review.php?index=8635
^ Its better than 3, its a little slow, but its more enjoyable :D
ALL WHAT I HAVE SAID ON THIS POST ARE MY OPINIONS ONLY!!!!!

Create a PPV
Ability to rush people on entrances
Fight the commentators
When your Tazz fighting, they was gonna change it to Michael Cole and Jim Ross, but they left it and so now its just Tazz fighting and Tazz talking about himself when ya pick him to wrestle
Blood!
RVD (sigh..................)
Walk away from a match
I have to agree that it hasen't lived up to expectations, but it ain't crap.
I was annoyed too when i first started story mode
Create-A-PPV was superb on Smackdown 2, and I used it all the time. They would have been better off leaving story mode out, and putting Create A PPV in instead!
Bring on Smackdown 4 (with hopefully a proper career mode, create a PPV mode and Too Cool.)
i just wait for Smackdown 4 shut your mouth LOL
What you think i shud do every1??
Legends of Wrestling - really looking forward to that ! My favourite wrestler of all time is in it - Bret Hart :-)
By the way, looking through the create a wrestler, i've really noticed parts throughout that really hint towards the possibility of creating Bret Hart, has anyone come accross a site or anything that says that its possible or even better give the instructions on how to accurately create him ?
and the people who talk in the match are so crap "the last ride, the last ride" the same with the rock bottom ad what the hell the angle slam what the hell is that suppose to mean I change everything if I could the people who talk crap I would say "the rock got lock in he got it he got rock bottom lock in"
