WWE SD!: HCTP: The game hits a F-5!
WWE SmackDown!: Here Comes The Pain is the 5th edition of the series. I think this good, like it or not. The Season Mode is alright, when you fight for the official WWE belts (why Hardcore Belt in the game, Bring It Back!). The Arenas are Live! (like the Venagence 2002 aRENA, why put it). When you put a new entry in the series it keeps better and better, maybe after i might review the newest on (SmackDown! vs. Raw). like the subtitle said Here Come The Pain!.

Soap opera antics never and greasy men were never this much fun!
As the current game in the wwe series for ps2, i was overjoyed to find all sorts of improvements over the last game, WWE SMACKDOWN, SHUT YOUR MOUTH. The graphics have had an overhaul, and the controls are a giant improvement from it's flawed predecessors. While all these things help the game, i can't help but notice some annoying things as well. What happened to the ring announcer? And when is THQ going to put in a create-a-move? I would say that Tony Hawk's "create a trick" has been successful, so it wouldn't be that hard to pull off. And when will there be camera angles/pyro for your entrance? Wrestlemania X1X did this very well, and so has the new DAY OF RECKONING. Other than these gripes, this game is very enjoyable to both fans of the sport and newcomers. But, until I see SHANNON MOORE and JOHNNY STAMBOLI in a wrestling game, they will NEVER! get a 5.0

Best wrestling game ever
This is by far the greatest wrestling game of all time. There are over 50 superstars. Every match type is in the game. (Except coffin.) There are 2 new game modes. Bra and Panties, and elimination chamber. Elemination chamber is one of my favorite matches. There are also legends that you can buy with money that you earn in season mode. Some of the legends are: Animal, Ted Dibiase, Old School Undertaker, Hawk (rest in piece, Hawk.) , Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, and others that I can't remember. Hillbilly Jim is a legendd avalable from the start. Season mode is by far the best season mode ever. You basically go through one year of a WWE or created superstars career. You start right after Wrestlemania, and work your way towards next years Wrestlemania. The create a wrestler is also the best ever seen in a videogame. And you can also edit the moves of the WWE superstars. The graphics are also absolutely amazing. There are hardly any clipping issues. A really weird thing that I noticed is that Jamie Noble is in the opening video, but then he is not in the game. Weird. They also have weight detection this time around. So basically, Rey Mysterio will not be able to pick up heavier superstars until you get his strength level up. But this doesn't occur on turnbuckle grapples or Smackdowns. Overall this is just one of the funnest games of all time. I stayed up 2 days straight just playing this. Oh, and John Cena rules. "You can't see me!"

IF YA SMELLLLLL WHAT NEUTRON IS COOKING
Wrestling fans rejoice thq has answered all our prayers this is by far the best wrestling game ever.All your favorite wwe superstars are back and some old school favorites like super fly snuka even the old school undertaker BOO YA and there looking better than ever.Returning is the already stellear season mode we've come to expect from the smackdown brand this time no more annoying first person navigating through the arena this time you get the locker room menu where you can look for people to chat with superstars either gaining respect or brawling with them or talk to your gm smackdown or raw no cross brand in this one you can ask your gm for title shots or you can ask to switch shows if you don't like the way your career is going.You can also buy of the many unlockables in the shoping option.The create mode is bigger than ever now it's starting to take a good 45 minutes to create a charcter from the ground but you appreciate it.New match types include elimination chamber and for all you pervs out there bra and panties matches oh la la.Now for the new grappling system wich offers more moves and varaiety there is also a new reversal system that makes you use the face button's making them more important and easier to pull off these new tweaks will take a bit to get used to but eventualy you'll be reversing f-5's like nothing.If your not a wrestling fan take off a full point but that dosen't mean there's no fun to be had here this game might even make you like wrestling.If your are a fan get ready for the pain....Uncle Derky smells
