My first PS2 game. Caution....Attention.

[@EGommer1994]

I personally cannot relate to all the hate for this game. I always really enjoyed it. Of course Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes The Pain are far better and this game has plenty of faults, but I guess it's always been a guilty pleasure for me then. When I pop this in from time to time I enjoy playing it and am never not entertained.

You forgot to mention that this was the only WWF game to feature Jerry Lynn, who had a brief run with the company in mid 2001, only to be shoved out due to the Invasion.

Only WWE game to this day you can have 8 wrestlers in the ring

[@JoeTheAddictSargent]

I swear the story was like 2 matches long lol

[@WestleyWolf]

you forgot to talk about how SLOW saving the game is!!! ugh.

[@ryankenyon9615]

The commentary 😂😂😂 “The Undertaker has a devastating “THE LAST RIDE!”

[@Autobot_Megatron]

My only massive gripe with this game? A save file will eat up more than half your memory card data...which by the way was only 8MB lmao

[@MerkhVision]

The “lyrics” of this game’s theme music is amazing: “Everybody on the ground, Will Smith is selling crack!”

[@krischabot8232]

[@316whatupz]

So nobody is gonna mention that this game takes half of your memory card to save the game?

[@NewportBox100s]

I went to WWF New York, it was pretty cool, they would play the wrestler entrances in the gift shop!
