I thought it was a pretty good game, it was slightly frustrating when you play against guys like Benoit or Angle on Smackdown! difficulty and they keep you on your toes, so that's pretty cool, it feels more like real life if you know what I mean, so I guess this is the thread to discuss all things about the game.

It had a million times better story mode than any recent game with RTWM or the rehashing of Attitude Era & WM.

The first Smackdown game I ever played and my favorite in terms of gameplay. 06 is my favorite solely for GM Mode, though.

Every so often, I'll go back on forth between which game was better, this or HCTP. Had an amazing story mode and a pretty good roster for the weird post-Invasion year.

My favorite wrestling game, aside from FPR. This is the game my kids grew up playing, and the cousins. The girls would always want to be Lita, because she was cool.
The Royal Rumbles were our favorite, you could have 4 players at once. If none of us won, the CPU winner would just be as random as the entrants were, which made for a lot of fun, because it wasn't just main-event guys or people named McMahon. People like Headbanger Thrasher or Molly Holly would end up winning more than their fair share of Rumbles.
Spoiler: Cena Undertaker wins. He kicks your ass, no-sells everything and is executing SmackDowns within the first 30 seconds.

Shut your mouth is by far my favorite of the wwe games. It had great storylines, the best CAw system of its era and though realistic, it could also be crazy with the spots, weapons and tron bumbs.

The only thing I didn't like about the game was that there wasn't a submission meter, meaning if Angle or Benoit got you in their finishers it was match over.

Probably the video game that I've spent the most time on as a whole. I got it when I first got my PS2, and the graphics absolutely blew me away as a kid. I still remember browsing game websites and buying magazines in the run-up to Christmas to fawn over how it looked, and I was insanely jealous of those who got to play it. The roster was excellent too, as good as HCTP but with the added benefit of Hogan.
Dunno what I'd think if I played it now, but it seems to have aged pretty well. Just Bring It, released just a year before, has aged horrifically in comparison.

The credits for SmackDown Shut Your Mouth are the best ever in a wrestling game.

I never understood why people prefer HCTP to this. SYM has better gameplay and graphics. My favourite wrestling game of all time.

It had the greatest CAW entrance templates ever in the Clumsy entrance, the Jackass-inspired one, Booker T pyro gone wrong, and the Spider-Man entrance.

I remember being amazed when I first Swanton'd someone off the King of the Ring chair as Jeff Hardy. So freaking awesome.

Whenever I wanna pop in a old smackdown game, I pop in this one, even over here comes the pain.
Love the roster, the gameplay its just fun to pop in and play.
Also I loved the arena backstage actually felt like a concourse of an arena.
Also it did the entrances best but cutting out some parts like the wrestler walking down the ramp, I never skip entrances in this game.
