My friend had this and it was all he ever wanted to play so I played a lot of this and now I'm no longer friends with the guy so make of that what you will.

The era of japanese made wwf/wwe games was superior to everything we have now.
I hate the modern age of wrestling games, the simulation era. I want something that isn't ashamed of being a game.
Between the early smackdown games, and the AKI n64 ones, we were spoilt. Good gameplay, good rosters, jammin' original soundtracks.
