WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain - I'm a WWE fan and this is the 1st wrestling game I have played on PS2. I played a little of Shut Your Mouth, but this game is really cool oooooyeaahh!!! The season mode is great...with cool storylines...with GOLDBERG and his hot finishers!!! The create player mode is great!
I'm excited for the next Smackdown...THQ rulezz!!!

All in all, WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain is a good game; but no Jeff Hardy & Mr. America. That's bad. When Lesnar is on the turnbuckle with the Big Show, why doesn't the ring collapse? Other wreslers should also be there.
Season is too short.

For WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain they took a great game and utterly ruined it....If the controls were the same as smackdown shut your mouth I would rate this 11 out of 10...but since the controls utterly suck and are completely different from ALL previous ones....I give it 5 out of 10 (it passes only for graphics).

WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain is a very Good game, very enjoyable, can have lots of fun with friends in different match types, and the season if full of fun filled moments that you can remember forever. If you are or were a wrestling fanatic then you will love this game.

Its a great game - elimination chamber, bra and panties, first blood heaps of fun. the blood adds a good effect to the game it makes it feel more 'lifelike' just hitting a guy with a weapon an watching the blood pour down. its a great feeling. it also has a great season mode, even though it only goes for a year. it has raw roulette an if ur on smackdown it has a roulette to. also updated titles with the US title added. You can also add attributes to your superstar- strength,speed,submission,endurance and technique. I think every die hard wrestling fan should get this game.

The game is brilliant any WWE fan has to get it. It has goldberg, rey mystrio and lots more. It has some got rid of some wrestlers but all in all get it bought because it is so good.

I thought this would be just another SmackDown. I was wrong. Its a great game and the new superstars are awesome. I rented it for five days and beat it twice i was so addicted but sometimes u need to take a break so you dont get bored of it.

The new smackdown is by far the best in the series gameplay wise when you are actually in the ring the matches can last longer and play more realistically then before. The Create features are pretty much the same but you can't really improve this feature anymore. The real let down of this game is the season it looks great when you start, you get to talk to wrestlers backstage and stuff and fight on the weekly shows but the storylines are too predictable and seen on tv and after 1 year it ends. If you ask your gm for a title shot they basially say which one and give it to you which sucks as you dont have to earn it or anything. I could write a massive review and spoil the game for you if you are a smackdown fan you will love this if you want a game to play your mates on you will definately love it as for how long it will last, it depends on how quickly you get bored of these things you will get bored of the seasonmode straight away don't buy it for the season buy it for the multiplayer I hope I have helped you decide on this but it is definately worth the money.

I got WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain from argos for £26, it should have been 30 but my sister works there and got disscount.
I think the gameplay is extremely harder than shut your mouth. The all new match tyes are exellent and the crowd is wild. The blood is great and the metre at the side to tell you which part of theboddy is hurtin' is fab.
