Featuring RVD, HOGAN and more. 60 superstars in total and over 70 modes with commentary done by JR and JERRY LAWLER this game will be the best yet.
THQ are finally giving us what we want and that is the 4th installment in the smackdown seres with a updated roster and a better CAW mode then ever.
This game will be realeist in winter 2002. Thats right this year and it will be worth the wait. I will deffinetly be buying this game no matter what. WILL YOU ?
