the game is sweet but you guys messed up in some areas |
| lil k from tulsa ok says (6/May/2003): |
why did you put tripple H and hbk's entrance on the game but could not put the music or movie on the game. and how come you can't have a title match out side of story mode. and taker was the hardcore champ & tripple h /hogan was the champ becase rvd dosen't need to come out saying he dosen't get any respect. and but other then that the game is phat.

THQ It's good but not great |
| Bo Schultz from Sulphur, Lousiana says (5/May/2003): |
I think the game's o.k., but I agree with everybody else when I say it needs improvement. I think the characters all look good, I think entrances look good, and the season mode is vastly improved over smackdown 3. There is ways of improvement. In the season mode I think it's good that its long, but you should be able to switch characters because after a while I get tired of playing with the same character. I also think there should be blood, but it should only be triggered with chair shots (sledge hammers, trash cans, etc.)or it your playing in a hell in the cell or cage match. The back stage areas shouldn't all look the same either. The characters should have real stregnth and abilities this would help the realism of the game (ex. Spike Dudley shouldn't be able to suplex the Big Show). I don't think the PS2 will allow you to download personal music for entrances like Xbox can, so they should have more entrances to choose from, and instead of having to choose a superstar movie they should have some default movies to choose from kinda like the music. But one of the most dissapointing things is when you create a player they have no teeth or gums that one aspect makes the create a player poor. Well now you know what I think
P.S. What happened to divas in season mode.

BEST WRESTLING GAME EVER!!!! |
| Josh pike from canada, ontario, windsor says (4/May/2003): |
This is the best wresling game ever. It has lots of sweat stuff like the hell in a cell match, and the season mode is great. I dont like how when you creat a wrestler the graphics arnt as good as the main wrestlers. there is no teeth either so it looks stupid. they should make voices and grunts when wrestling and should slow down some of the moves and taunts. Also you should beable to unlock older wrestlers in the season mode. Anyway this is an awsome game and its SO fun to play. Two words: BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you should have... |
| A gamer from united kingdom says (4/May/2003): |
the game and characters itself seem ok but the clothes are too plain you should be able to tie shirts around the waist have commontaters shown in the match the timing of speech could have also been done better when you pick your call name you should have plai names to be said like peter or john you probbaly get the idea blood will make the game more realistic as been bashed in the face by a steel chair is definately gonna make you bleed you should also have create a entrance because you get fed up of the origanals eventually.please make smackdown five a full starr rating.

Talking and bleeding |
| Joey Gonzalez from El Paso, TX USA says (4/May/2003): |
I think these game is the best wretleing game ever but the superstars need to talk and of corse bleed anyways... the music is not that good like the Jeff Hardy is not good nor Matt's or the real American from Hulk and the music Originals the videos. and new supertars need to be added, and more accesories. more attires need to be added like from shawn michaels.

the best wrestling game ever |
| kk from england says (3/May/2003): |
i think smackdown shut your mouth is the best ever wrestling game. i think it has improved vastly from the last smackdown, when i got smackdowndown 3 i was acspecting it to be a great game when i started the story mode it was finished in about 3 matches. if you like wrestling games i advise you to get wwe smackdown shut your mouth do not bother getting legends of wrestling i have played it and it is rubish

WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth Problems |
| A gamer from Ontario says (3/May/2003): |
I think this is an amazing game and the best wrestling game ever. There are some problems with the game that i think should be changed. I think the story lines should change each year you play. The biggest problem i have is that you cant be any girl wrestlers in the season. I think it should be more like Smackdown 2 when you could be a guy or a girl. I think titles can be changed in exibition mode and not only in season. The roster needs to be updated.RVD should be able to do the Van0Terminator like in real life. I think they should have jakie and bring back some older wrestlers like Vintage taker, chyna, bret hart etc. THERE MUST BE AN ELIMANATION CHAMBER in the next game. Keep the game on Playstation 2 systems. make it more realistic like the wrestlers geting tiered and maybe make them have a power bar. Have the womans championship in the season. Once again update the rosters please.

Shut your mouth: Must play |
| E-Dogg from DoggVille,Texas, Usa says (3/May/2003): |
This is one of the best wrestling games ever made! It is even better the the Xboxs Raw. The graphics are really great. I recommend u play this game. You talk about a created wrestler. This game has tons of created wrestler options. You can get desingns that wrestlers on the game have. One more thing, buy this game u wont be sorry.

Best WWE Wrestling Game To this Date |
| Packdizzy from Houston,Texas,USA says (2/May/2003): |
Updated rosters, more weapon moves, infinite CWA points and more story lines, and a perfect score for Smackdown 5. The progress made from last years Smackdown JBI was remarkable. Smackdown SYM is currently in rotation with Tekken 4, Tekken Tag, NBA Live 03, Madden 03, and Halo. Theses are the best games out to this date on the PS2 and XBOX. And in my opinion Smackdown is in the top 3.
|
Well, much better than the last, but still needs improving |
| Angel from England, Hampshire says (1/May/2003): |
I've played this game in depth for a few months, it is defiantly the best WWE game, a great create a character mode, although I found that the create a character mode in "just bring it" could have been included in the design of Shut Your Mouth. The gaming itself is great, skill is involved, such as with the timing of reversals. Though a truly great game, I wish they would improve the crowd and add a create an entrance for the next game in line. The main game is great also for one played, filled with variety. For the next game their should be a multi-player story in which championship belts can be fought for, and separate multi-player stories can be saved apart form that of any other story line you maybe into at that time as well.
|
it could have been better |
| timboy2003 from miami(Fl)USA says (1/May/2003): |
when i first got this game it was alright this game could have been better only if they could let you hold your titles and fight for them in the exibition mode instead of a season the season is good and every thing but it should have been in both.

Smack down shut your mouth |
| Mike from Adrian, MI, USA says (30/Apr/2003): |
It was an excellent game, the story lines were great accept for the fact you wouldn't let the feud between flair and mcmann go, and more fun matches like casset match. You need more people Rey Meystero, Scott Steiner, 3 minute warning, Team angle, chavo. The graphics were great and the entrances too, but you did a crapy job with jeff hardz entrance in real is entrance is the best in the bussiness you made it bad. But I thought it was the best game that has come out in a while and it is a lot better than the past smack down game. Make sure you add Goldberg to this new game you are making.

| Zoltan from Toronto Ontatrio says (26/Apr/2003): |

|
Can be better |
| A gamer from Georgia,USA says (26/Apr/2003): |
The game is awsome! But there could be improvements likebeing able to defend the title in exibition,like the good matches from a long time ago like inferno match, boiler room brawl. A game mode like create your own matches.The good parts of the game was the great gameplay the variety of characters. It should have Scott Hall like when the nwo came on t.v but on the game it doesn't have Scott Hall instead it has X-pac. It also should have Rey Mysterio.
|
Needs a LOT more! |
| JeBus from UK says (25/Apr/2003): |
where do i start?
ok, smackdown shut your mouth is a good game, but theres a lot of bad things about it!
1) i think that create an entrance should be in the game, like adding explosions and timing it all. Also, your opponent should be in the ring when you come down, or if you come down first, you wait in the ring.
2) hell in a cell was a big improvement, but there should of been weapons under the ring like sledgehammers, etc.
3) a lot of people have been wanting blood, and i couldnt agree more. i think the reason they cant put it in is cuz it isnt licensed or something.
4) at the time this was made, all the superstars were put into it, but when it came out a load of new people came into it. Rey Mysterio was definetly needed, and hopefully he'll be in the next one. who else was needed? oh yeah John Cena. he was actually programmed into the game on C.A.W, but i hate making current wrestlers up, because when it comes to the moves, it takes too long. some of the old wrestlers should be in, the true legends! it would be good to put new wrestlers like brock lesnar against people like mick foley. i've just read that jeff hardy has left WWE, so hopefully, he'll be in smackdown 5.
5) now size difference was a big problem, it was really stupid in sd4! a typical match - spike dudley vs big show........this says it all. how could spike even get show down?!?! hes 500 pounds for freeks sake! this should be sorted out!
6) table matches should be a lot harder! me and my brother play these all the time, and when u get put on the table, you know ur gonna go through it! the table breaks in the same place aswell, so if your going to powerbomb them through the table, the table should smash into thousands of peices! if anybody remembers the casket matches in old games, then that was hard to get ppl into it, so maybe if it was like that.......oh yeah, 3D through the table!
7) when someone went for the pin, and only got a 2 count on sd4, they got straight back up and carried on like it was the start of the match. they should at least be slowed down.
8) royal rumble should be improved. you should be able to go under the bottom rope to get weapons.
9) cage - i thought you could at least open the door! you should be able to climb between the rope and cage......i dont know why but its on telly. u shud also be able to smash ppl into the cage. when you climb the to the top of the cage, it climbs down automatically....what if you dont want to. i want to frog splash someone from the top, or grapple at the top without going down.
10) more matches are needed. chain matches if anyone remembers (kane vs HHH ages ago), bra and panties, mud matches, tag team termoil, paddle/brass knuckles on a pole, blindfold match (wud that work?) and some other matchs from raw roulette. 2 on 1 slobber knocker, over the top challenge, casket match, elimination chamber - that would be phat!, hair vs hair match, and if possible, 30 man battle royal without all the names on the top, and mixed matches, like tlc hell in a cell etc. it would also be good if there were fun games to play, like beatin up a car, like in this other game.
11) in a tag match, if you hit your partner repeatedly, they should get really hacked off and come and bash ya! #
12) a lot more weapons are needed under the ring.....pins, signs, ladders, dustbins (which should crumple when you hit someone, and you should put them in the turnbuckles.), baseball bats, extinguisers, poles, brass knucks, trays, tellys, etc, ya get the idea.
13) wrestlers should be updated for their appearance, and whether they are heel or not. i hate jr saying how bad taker is, when hes a good guy now. maybe you could download attire from the net, and music,
overall view for the next game:
GAMEPLAY: more realistic
COMMENTARY: no repeats, should be about whats going on, moves named and talking about them, like JR goes "oh my god a devastating F-5 in real life"
SEASON: you should chose whether to make it short or long, cuz i personally hate season, and i want all the stuff unlocked and i cant be bothered going through it all the time. overall for season though, its good, nice storys, but it gets boring!
SOUND: more chants, more move sound, more weapon sound.
GRAPHICS: yeah, very good, i especially like the matrix effect. does look like a game tho, should be more life like.
ORIGINALITY: this game gets boring after you keep buying the next one up, but it is good to buy an improvement to the last one. season mode is copying WWE so maybe they could make new storylines up for that.
FUN FACTOR: i love this game! outta ten i give it 8!

fun to play but it needs some touching up |
| Mike from Morrisville PA USA says (25/Apr/2003): |
Smackdown Shut your Mouth is a great game for fun loving entertainment value. However THQ I surely hope you're reading this because there's a major flaw in your season mode. The Showstoppa The Icon and Oh Yeah The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels isn't playable in the season mode. I'll steal a line from the Hurricane and say "Wat up with Dat"? For God sake HBK is the best wrestler and your first grand slam champion and yet he can't be used for sesaon mode and why wasn't he avalable in the normal attire unless you created him as such? And If you plan on making vintage Taker why not bring back the actual music and his druets? Paul barrier and the urn would help too
As far as RVD when will a video game ever capture him hitting the Vanterminator? ( The drop kick to a chair from corner to corner) And I agree with the match selections beging needed to be improved and why isn't there Title vs. Title like you did with Know your role? The biggest disappointment to me was regarding HBK and the sweet chin music. To truely capture the greatest wrestler of all time why not actually capture Shawn Tunning up the Band then proceed to play the sweet chin music as if he was seen on TV doing it? After all that would make him life like. Earlier I mentioned the Phenom the Undertaker. Like his movements and all a lot nice job capturing him. Regarding him in the Minsitry look and vintage: have his enterance dim the lights like before and bring the tourchs back. as for the vintage attire why not have him walk to the ring wearing the old original attire with that hat. The most realistic part was his backwards roll to the arena floor from the ring. One last comment for you to ponder. Kane and Taker both have freaking powers right. why not try and capture them when the set up after you beat on them like Kane always does?
Bret Hart Owen Hart and them should be brought back into the game without needin to first create them

The Real Thing |
| Soultaker from ELIZABETH GROVE,SOUTH AUSTRALIA says (25/Apr/2003): |
WWE shut your mouth i would have to say is the best game out there it makes you fill like your acctualy in the ring with your favarite superstars The graphics are awsome and so it the story line every corner of the game is a saprise you dont know what will happen next and the way thay add your own charecter into the movie shorts is like wow. I have myself finished it about 10 times each time going into a different direction like going for a deffernt belt so on I play it on the hardest level so i can get better and The ending is cool.

Totally awesome |
| Ol'Caknucklehead from Ohio, USA says (24/Apr/2003): |
This is by far the best wrestling game released to date. A lot of people have brought up some good ideas for improvement but a lot of those things couldn't be helped. The fact that the roster doesn't have everyone who's in it now is because when they started developing this game those people weren't around. Its next to impossible to make a wrestling game and not have the roster outdated before it hits the shelves. Also the idea to be able to down load your own entrance music would be awesome but I don't think the PS2 has that ability. I do agree however that the story mode needs to give you more free reign. The options open to you are very limited what path you can take and it does get very repetitive. I love the create a wrestler options, and everything looks amazing. It will be hard to improve on this game visually, the only thing they have to work on is concepts.

Needs Serious Improvement |
| Raymond from Queens, New York says (24/Apr/2003): |
GRAPHICS: The Graphics for SmackDown 4 Shut Your Mouth are very good but they look too stiff they need to be smoother and body movements shouldn't be so stiff. I notice that every now and then the womens breast "jiggles" but it doesn't look right it should look more like Dead Or Alive and the arenas seem kinda off scale for example the raw arena is missing the TNN logo and the RAW logo graphic moving in the 3 bottom titantrons is extremely repetitive and they all move the same way where on the show the RAW logo in the bottom 2 side titantrons move similar but the middle one doesn't and the RAW logo video in the bottom 3 titantrons does not repeat so fast.also wrestlemanias ramp should be longer.The name pop-ups that appear when a superstar is entering the ring are almost like the ones on the show but for some Pay-Per-Views they have some weird default pop up for the names that I have never seen before they need to get the real pop ups.The graphics for this game do not give it an authentic feel. Also created players should have teeth when you create them.
sound: The sound for this game is pretty basic. The announcers don't talk much so the game doesn't seem authentic again. The announcers should talk more as a matter of fact they should keep talking and not be so repetitive (like in WCW Mayhem) also it made no sense that since the wwe had the draft and had different announcers for each show that Jerry"The King" Lawler and Jim Ross announced the entire game. The game should have Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross for Raw, Michael Cole and Tazz for SmackDown, Lita and "The Coach" for Raw and Josh Matthews and Ernest "The Cat" Miller for Velocity. also needs to have full entrance themes since the storymode has it where superstars wait in the ring. Stars like Tajiri and Randy and also the hardyz Orton (there are others but I dont remember oh yeah also include Linda Mcmahon) don't have their real entrance themes which again lowers games authenticity.
GAMEPLAY: The gameplay is by far the worst gameplay ever made for a wrestling game. It doesn't even have all of the wrestlers moves that they use. When I create a wrestler I watch their matches and pick the moves AND ONLY THE MOVES! that I see them use during there matches and for favorite moves I choose the moves that they use to set up or attempt to finish off their opponents with and for finishers I use their main finishing move and for the second I choose Their move they use to set up for their finisher or if they have another finisher I use that. THQ spent there time loading superstars with flashy moves they barely use then they leave it where the players have to fix it.
lifespan: The games Storymode is very repetitive. It has 2 years(game wise) worth of matches but going into the second year the game repeats itself at armageddon and the game only has good storylines when your the world champion. Whatever happened to midcarder storylines? some people don't look right with the havyweight belt and eventually your forced to fight in a heavyweight title match in the end. Matches like the elimination chamber, Casket match and first bloods match need be added and if theres any I missed they can be found in Smackdown 2. The game needs blood because without it it isn't interestling and it needs to have it where you can enter women in the season, but designs on their clothes and it needs a womens belt. Also you should be ablt to choose wheither you want to be a manager or a wrestler in the season. the create a stable mode should have it where more than 3 people can be put in a stable. Entrances need to be more complete. Also the game should have it where you can download themesongs from your cds and it needs a create a belt and create a entrance mode it should also have it where you can watch entrance videos and entrance theme sons together full screen so if you choose one stars video and anothers theme you can figure out how it looks together before you finish with the superstar.
fun factor: the game is only interestling until you beat the storymode after that your stuck with unlocking everything and you have to go back through the storymode to do it. Tips on how game could be made more fun listed below. NO MERCY for N64 was way more fun. the create a manger mode from sd2 was fun it should be brought back.
ORIGINALITY: The game adds new moves every now and then but it still uses moves that have been seen in smackdown one and all they did to them was change the superstars reaction.
The problem this game has is keeping the players attention. In smackDown 2 (I would say 1 but theres isn't all too great) The create a Pay-Per-View mode was one of the most entertaining modes yet. It allowed you to make a 8 match Pay-Per-View event that would be rated upon the average of each matches rating. Whenever I got bored with the story mode I would play the Pay-Per-View mode and I loved to make Pay-Per-Views that would follow the one before it. I liked how the Pay-Per-View mode kept a record of the best matches that was ever made and the best P.P.V.s ever made. It should be brought back in SmackDown 5 and it should allow you to choose the arena that your in and pick who announces at the P.P.V. players should be able to defend championship belts here and in the enibition mode and the P.P.V. mode should have short cut scenes that link into the storymode. Women seem highly deprived in smackdown 4 : You cant put words on their clothes, theres no womens belt and they dont have any exclusive sayings from announcers that needs work.
For a create a belt mode there should first be a list that says how many people can win this belt at once (up to 3 or up to 5 should be allowed) then have it where you can choose the outline of the belt the create a text and create a nameplate(for the wrestlers name) then name the belt and rate its importance. players should be able to attack opponents.on the way to the ramp, also there should be a create a titantron mode. there could be a list of screens you can choose and a list of out lines and a list of stages and ramps and rings and everyting.
and you should be able to create a show that way. (this would make the P.P.V. mode fantastic. You should be able to go into the crowd. players should be able to get more than 4 wepons from ringside and there should be a toleration meter on the name meter for example if a superstars partner interferes in a match and hits their opponent the toleration meter begins to fill and when it first starts to fill the ref should make the stars partener leave but if he keeps coming in and hitting the stars opponent then the meter of his partners fills up and when it fills up completely the patner is disqualified . this should also apply for if a superstar hits their opponenent with a chair in a match that has dqs or if they hit the ref.
Superstars should also walk out with their managers and the season mode should be multi playered. also there should be a menu in the game that says draft and when you go into it you can edit stars drafted to RAW/Heat and SmackDown/Velocity. then when you go into an exhibition or a season mode there could be a RAW/Heat list of stars and a Smackdown/Velocity list of stars that way a star from smackdown can't wrestle a star from raw. Also in the season mode for SD4 the draft dosn't last long but in SD5 it should have the draft the way it is on tv. there should also be a bra and panties match since you have no choice but to make stars wear underwear under their clothes.
Also THQ should put the wwe logo in the bottom left corner of the sceen at all times and stop playing back ground music during matches and cut scenes its annoying and its not realistic.
