Well Smackdown 4 was out in the UK yesterday, and I know quite a few people from TWO have already got their hands on a copy. I was just wondering for all those people who have already got it, what its like, good and bad points etc. Thanks :xyx

it's great- the single player is at last worth of playing, and the CAW mode is more better then ever

there are a few niggles and what's up with the camera angle...but it's is the best Smackdown game in the series

everything I expected it to be, plus much more.
I think it is good and all but does anyone else think it is easy as hell on career mode?

I like it, vast improvement on the career mode from last year, which was just pants to say the least.

 

I haven't been playing it for long, but so far I have a few comments to make.

 

Firstly, I had a 6 man elimination match which ended after just 1 fall, maybe this is a bug.

 

Also, it may be because i've just started playing, but sometimes you can walk around backstage before your match, and theres absolutely nothing to do. Every now and then i've come across Al Snow loitering in the back, but thats it. So far in the career mode i've had no angles or feuds to play out.

 

But so far it looks very good, it certainly wont be heading back to the shop after 2 days like last years crappy effort.

i think you have to fully play a season before anything intresting starts to happen

On Thursday night I was talking about how I was ready to give a review on SD: SYM which would be a tad bias to the Yukes Suck side. After I bought a copy of the game I feel I can no long do this.

 

This game is much, much better than the last one. Of course I've spent most of my time removing turnbuckle padding and getting tables out from under the ring.

 

This game gets 8 thumbs up.

 

Full review next week!

Its starting to get a little harder now. Still not very hard. Anyways, this is most definitely the best Smackdown game they have ever made. Fantastic.
well i think its good, its annoying backstage when its always Billy, torrie or al snow floating about, another bug i seen was when sometimes i throw wrestleer onto the barrier he starts floating in the air for feew secs

The games fantastic, walking reound the back can be a pain but if you press triangle you can go for a run.

Finding Maven is brilliant as you can take the mick out of his eyebrows. I've done about a yaer in the season mode seen a huge rivallry between flair and mcmahon the return of steph, triple h and the nWo not to mention booker t beating hollywood hogan at wrestlmania for the title. As said above during the season mode the game seems to get harder as you progress. This game is by far the best ever smackdown game and a must for any wwe fan with a lil magic black box in there house.

i've found a bug :)

well you know where the camera pans around the show while Jr and the King introduce the show, well everything was fine and dandy when JR said "welcome to smackdown" when it was a Raw show :?

Oh god right lets all take it back for a full re-fund and compensation.
Check when you get onto the second year at judgement dayand ur bot to fight anglein hair match after u win it check if the game freezes, this happend to me and 3 other ppl so there could more like this!!

I played SD4 for the first time at a friends house today, and all I can say is wow.

 

There are one or two flaws(wrong announg, like when I, as Rhyno slammed Kevin Nash through the hell in the cell, the announcers went GORE! GORE GORE!(didn't realise Heyman was an announcer :) ) and one or two pieces of animation seem to be weird(like Taker walking through air when going off the stage for one or two seconds before finally falling) but other than that, I can't find any faults.

 

The season mode looks good, even though I only seen the last month of it. The build up to Wrestlemania, with Brock and Rock as the main event was great, with nice cut scenes building it. Things like JR saying it would be a big match, and he is happy to be annoucing it, and things where Rock kept coming to help us when we were down in 2 on 1 situations, plus Rock saying all these things about it going to be a big match, with us choosing the put down options was funny, and overall it was brilliant. Only annoyance was that Dvon seemed to be the only guy hanging out backstage all the time. Then at Wrestlemania, Angle Michaels and Austin giving thoughts on the match. Then the match(which was alright, and for some reason Rock started with 4 finishers, I think someone didnt want Brock to win :) ) and after the 3rd Rock Bottom won to become champ. Vince then came out, after winning a 100% ownership match, and demanded Rock hand over the belt, and said the match was poor, and then Brock and Rock attacked Vince, and the credits came on. It was great.

 

Most of the time we played Exhibition matches, and there was a decent selection of them. I wrestled as Angle, Brock, Jericho, Rhyno, Eddie, Hurricane and Goldust. Jericho was definitely my fave of the lot, doing a lot of his little put down type moves, like the slaps on the head, and the kicking of them when they've been knocked out, the one foot pin and all that. And the matches were quite good, and I liked being able to take off turnbuckle pads and attacking the ref(havent played SD3 so this was new to me.) Plus some of the moves being like combos was great(for example, one of Eddies move was where he and his opponent tried to out wrestle each other, then Eddie takes out the opponent by the knee.) And throwing snowballs during a hardcore match at Winter Times Square(one of the unlockables I think) was a blast.

 

I didnt see the create a wrestler, or all the different matches, or a full season mode, but what I seen was enough to make me know I'm glad to be getting it with a PS2 at Christmas. A huge thumbs Up from me :xyx

Just found a major bug in the game.

 

My little cousins currently playing a 6 man hell in a cell.

 

I showed him how to get out of the cell then all the other 5 guys came out after him, now as they had been fighting for sometime many of them had finishing moves includig stone cold.

 

He hit a stunner on kurt angle but suddely did 1 into the crowd, but he ended up on the top tier, he then decided to amble back walking in and around the crowd higley amusing stuff but still a bug in a good game.

That's more of a glitch than a bug.

 

A bug will most likely repeat itself again and again in the same situation, a glitch will only usually happen on when something gets mixed up.

 

I've heard of one or two problems with the game, including a problem with controllers. Maybe the game wasn't thoroughly tested, in order to get the game rushed out in time for Christmas?

I had the problem with the controllers, I think THQ offical response was to turn the Vibration mode off.
Wouldn't be the first time THQ had rushed a game out for Christmas without completed testing, remeber No Mercy 2 years back on the N64 had the save problems.

On a side note has anyone got Road to Wrestlemania X8 yet?
