Firstly, Im posting this here because the PS2 Forum has become a n00b infested forum and i'll get a better response here, but anyway...

HCTP got 10/10 in PSW, with the main improvements being the Season mode and the more arcady style gameplay and controls apparantly. The Season mode now has less wandering about with a screen now that tells you if anybody is about in the backstage areas, where as before you wouldn't know until you'd been everywhere. The controls have made simplier and opponents have better AI. They now know how to use weapons, attack more, and allies help more

The main bad points were the usual collision problem, no wrestler voices and that the blood could be better. But these are really minor points.

So, thoughts?

Erm...I hardly think bad collison detection is a MINOR problem. For me, coming from No Mercy's excellent collision physics it is a problem which has rendered every Smackdown game COMPLETELY unplayable.

Did you really need to quote the whole thing Congy? :)

Anyway, I wouldn't exactly say that the collision problem makes Smackdown completely unplayable.

The whole submission thing looks very cool, look forward to seeing how it all works.
Classic wrestlers is a nice bonus too but no ultimate warrior (because he is in legends of wrestling) is a bit pants.

Well that and the fact him and Vince HATE each other and he also wanted sack loads of cash to appear in the game, could have had something to do with him not being in.

I was playing SmackDown!: Here Comes The Pain, yesterday, and i chose HillBilly Jim, and I managed to kick out after a Special at two different times in the match, and also managed to reverse a special twice, once by either person at two different times in the match. It was a Triple Threat, I was HillBilly Jim, and i was against Rowdy Roddy Piper & Iron Sheik. I lost the match eventually but it was a riot, also the Bra & Panties match was so surreal and totally funny.

Kane is unmasked. They may be an option to put the mask back on. I don't know. The Rock is in it because he has wrestled in the year and he is a very marketable character.
