nearly as good as here comes the pain by my disc had a 50/50 shot of working so tough memories there

u could shave kurt angles head

- Snappy and balanced wrestling with the iconic cinematic camera finishers.
- Cohesive 2-year storyline-based season mode with a first-person backstage mode in-between matches.
- The best roster out of the WWE games until WWE 2K14.
- Totally accurate overall artistic depiction (aesthetics, camera shots, grain filters, background music, areas, presentation, etc.) of the times which we didn't see again until SvR 2006, THIS is where this game excels.

I totally recommend this one or SvR 2006 instead of Here Comes The Pain.

that season mode hit so different.

Shut Your Mouth was a step forward for the Smackdown series at the time, but today, it feels a bit like a work-in-progress compared to its sequel, Here Comes the Pain. There are less moves, season mode is less polished, and the graphics, lighting, and character models are also a step below. Some players do prefer Shut Your Mouth for its roster and simpler gameplay, and I get that, but I would still recommend Here Comes the Pain over this in most situations.
