I don't have any fond memories of this one. It felt more like Smackdown 2.5 rather than an actual Smackdown 3. Completely lacking in a proper season mode it has virtually no replay value. The roster was also very outdated for 2001 with no Invasion stars.
Redeeming qualities - Cool soundtrack, full entrances, 8 player matches.

Easily my least favorite wrestling game, but it does feature the Rock on the cover.

Just Bring It walked so the other 7th gen games could run. Basically a sequel to Smackdown! 2.

More fighting games should have Fred Durst as an unlockable character.
Do it Arcsys, we don't need Elphelt in Strive, add Fred Durst instead.

THE LAST RIDE!

DIDNT AGE WELL BUT A CLASSIC FOR SURE

I asked for Shut Your Mouth! for Christmas and got this instead but that's cool.

all time commentary in a wrestling game

Disappointing wrestling game, especially for this series. Will give it this, it was the 1st wrestling game I played where there were 8 wrestlers in the ring at the same time. Wouldn’t see that again for a long time.

Why does Michael Cole sound like he just had a lobotomy in this game.

"Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside!"

"Who do ya think ya talkin' to!?"
