So finally smackdown has a compition... and lets remember that WWF games werent that great in the beginning...
There is not introduction match where it tells you how to use the buttons... which is ok since it is a fairly simple button mashing game. Which I think I will enjoy in the long run since whenever I pick up Smackdown after months I forget how to play and always stink... so this is nice in someway.
To kick out.... all it has is a stick moving back and forth. At first I was like, "WHAT STICK!?!" But yeah, I am not the biggest fan of that.
Customization. Maybe because I didn't unlock the full story yet or maybe it will come in future downloadable content but I feel as if the create a wrestler is just minimal enough to get by (I am sure I will find others online with my same charecter).
I donno wither I like how the story progresses yet. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the story (come on over the top underdog story, who doesn't like Rocky?). But with the charecter just talking doing the loading screen with a few cinimatics... yeah I donno just yet.
Ok well Midway even said they werent going all crazy with this game since it is the first and they just tried to make it fun, and it is so hats off to Midway, and it is defintly different than WWE Smackdown... so that is why I am giving it a 7.5. If this was like the 5th game in I would give it a much much lower score. But yeah. Alright time for me to play more since my next game to come out comes out next week.
