WWF Smackdown 2 Know Your Role - PS1 Game (Retro Fam)

enjoyed playing, very humorous and fun to compete with other players

I think WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role for the original Playstation console was a really good, influential game. Oh okay, if you want to argue that the first Smackdown game was MORE influential, I can't disagree. Know Your Role is almost identical to the previous Smackdown in every single way, but with more matches and wrestlers to choose from. Normally I *hate* when a game company releases a new game with only extremely minor improvements, but I'll cut the game company some slack in this case, because there were only two Smackdown games around back then.I can think of another reason to own this game- back when it was released in November 2000, the WWE was at the VERY top of its game in terms of popularity and TV ratings. After this game came out, the WWE began to lose its momentum and the ratings subsequently dropped, thanks mainly to the writing team not knowing which direction to take certain wrestlers and their storylines. People started getting sick of wrestling altogether, I guess. So owning Know Your Role in the year 2007 (the year I'm writing this review) can take you back to a time when the WWE seemed unstoppable.When this game came out in the year 2000, we only had a few other 3-dimensional wrestling games available for the Playstation at the time. One of them was called War Zone, and the other was, I believe, called Attitude. Oh, and of course we had the original Smackdown. Those were all groundbreaking games, but Know Your Role offered something War Zone and At.
