Story
   The game doesn't have a set story line like all wrestling games. Instead you enter story mode and follow the path of story-line's once used in the WWE Raw and Smackdown TV shows, with path's changing depending on the choices you make. That means in the storyline where you are suppose to replace The Rock in his real life Wrestlemania match where he faced Hollywood Hulk at Wrestlemania, if you fail to defeat Hogan or don't make it to the Wrestlemania main event, he'll win and continue to cause trouble with his NWO followers X-Pac and Kevin Nash.

Difficulty- 4 out of 10
   If it was one thing I knew back in the day before the new generation of WWE2k14 and so on, is that Smackdown related games were beyond easy. From the option menu there is four types of difficulty's to pick from. Easy, Normal, Hard and Smackdown which actually means super hard and from the get go I was whooping on everyone on super hard with almost zero challenge. You don't even really need to be a pro. Once you understand one simple tactic, the computer most likely will never be able to get its face off the ring mat.

Depth-10 out of 10
   This was when WWE went all out on there games. Today's newer WWE games, lack so many features such as an actual storyline path for you to follow. Not only did you have a big roster of wrestlers to pick from and plenty of awesome matches, but the game introduced, one of the WWE's biggest story mode features that expanded 3 years within the game. You were allowed to actually leave the arena and explore like 4 to 5 other area such as Time Square in New York or get on a subway that transported you there. You were even allowed to interact with the superstars both none created and ones you created. Depending on what you did or said to them, would either earn you title matches, pulled you into back stage brawls, made you partners and sometimes just for laughs. They don't make these like they use.

Graphics-8 out of 10
   The graphics are not exactly superior for this game. It doesn't have the richer look like Here Comes the Pain and future games would later have and your created toon's come out so ugly because they have no teeth. No kidding. They looked like a cross mix between an old person with only gums and a Muppet. The look however did slightly approve from the previous "Just Bring it" and it's not exactly the worst thing to look at.

Addictiveness-10 out of 10
   As one of the best of the WWE Smackdown game series, there was hundreds of things to do. If you didn't love the story mode, where you could talk with your own creatures, choose to be a good or bad guy and travel beyond the wrestling arena, you had other features in the exitbition, where you could throw all your creations into one royal rumble match, compete for a high rank in one of three types of slobber Knocker's or battle it out in a 6 man ladder match. With lots of choices, you'll never get bored of this classic.

Sound-9 out of 10
   Not a lot of information to give in this department, but the Sound wasn't bad and it featured every wrestlers current theme within that time. A long way ahead from back when wrestling game either had no themes or ones that just repeated themselves instead of the full track. You couldn't choose the menu song back than like newer games, so you had to deal with the exact same menu song all the time, but it wasn't so bad
