The history of WWE SmackDown!

WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth

After a lengthy "debate" with the World Wildlife Fund, 2002 saw the McMahon crew become World Wrestling Entertainment - and this was the new company's first game. Yet despite the new name, little changed. The best tweak was the new reversal system; in previous games, tapping Square reversed nearly everything. Now there was actually some skill involved in countering opponents' moves: you had to match his D-pad press. This was also the first ever WWE game to feature Stacy Keibler's never-ending legs and shapely rear.

Verdict: Title contender.
