Without a doubt, the best SmackDown yet

Everything else has been updated, as well. The season mode has more branching paths, and the returning GM Mode is more fully featured than last year, allowing you to do things like purchase storylines and create feuds to improve your ratings. The robust creation modes have been streamlined even more. The game is simply packed with more, better stuff. And the game still looks great for a PS2 game - though it wasn't like its predecessor was an ugly game by any means.

That makes it even more of a shame that certain problems recur every year. We can forgive the fact that certain things aren't up to date (it's impossible to pin down a definitive roster, angle, and/or gimmick since they change constantly) and some of the clipping issues, but we wish other elements were improved. Collision detection still needs work, and the commentary is as repetitive as ever.

Tag matches still feel like handicap matches, mainly owing to the fact that your AI-controlled partner doesn't actually do all that much, even when you call for help. There also are several loading screens throughout the game - they're not excruciatingly long like they were in last year’s PSP version, but that doesn't make them less annoying as you impatiently wait to start playing.
