Ultimate Control!
This is the Warrior here to take you to the intergalactic lands of life and death known as the source of the Uuuul-ti-MATE poooooowerererer! USE THE RIGHT ANALOG STICK TO BEAT YOUR ENEMY TO DEATH WITH THE STRENGTH OF A THOUSAND GODS OF ETERNITY! *huff, huff* You, Warriors can limp-wristededly flick that stick for a light/quick grapple or you can use the POOOWWWarrrrrr of the WOWRRIOR to push the modifier button and flick the stick for a STRONG GRAPPLE! GRAPPLE! Each direction gives different opening grapple positiosn, each of those providing a VARIETY OF VARIOUS WRESTLING MOVES!! The gods of the warrior of the ultimate planet X16morgan would be pleased! If you play as me, or John Cena, you can only do five moves...OF DOOOOOOOOM!
There is more, though! For if you Warriors feel the spirit of the power flowing through you PUSH DOWN ON THAT STICK AND UNLEASH THE ULTIMATE CONTROL MOVES! Lets do it!!
See that! See it! SEE IT WITH YOUR MUSCLES OF YOUR EYES AND THE GIFT OF SIGHT GIVEN TO ALL FROM THE GODS OF KOBOLD! You have control there, with your stick, to inflict further damage as you see fit!
Interactive Environments 3:16
I can't say I give two deer craps what you think you know about beatin' ass, son, so you sit down and listen as "Stone Cold" tells you how to lay an ass whoopin' down so thick your opponent will be crapping your boot laces out for a month! That girly haired, neon wearing, steroid abusing, lead paint using jackass done broke you in on how the right stick works but he didn't mention nothin' about strangling a man with monitor cords or taking a crutch from the audience and wrapping it about some sorry ass opponents head. Get your enemy in a strong grapple then drag their sorry asses over to a hotspot, like the announcers' tables or ringpost or barricade or, well hell son you get the idea! You get them close enough to that hotspot and you can start "interacting with the environment." That means you can use foreign objects to stomp a mud hole in someones ass! You can ram their head on the steel steps, jump off the top rope to put 'em through an announcer's table, bang their leg agaisnt the ringpost...get creative, son! Best part is you can control that destruction with the right analog stick. Why is that the best part? Because Stone Cold said so!
What'chya gonna do when...?
Over forty story lines run wild on you? That is right, brotha! Wrestling isn't just about wrestling it is also about telling some good stories and selling as much merchandise as possible! Everyone remembers HBK crying, the Hulkster beating Andre, Mae Young giving birth to a hand, Lawler punching Koufman, and many others! So you better take your vitamins and say your prayers cause you'll be playin' this game all night long, brotha!
Create-a-Gimmick
If one of you hommies comes up with a good one could you let me have it? WORD LIFE! Listen up, chaingang, this here dizzle of a game has a dope ass create-a-wrestler mode. It is so deep and easy to use it could be mistaken for Lita's nether regions. Get it? She's a HO! WORD LIFE! The CAW has 200 new thingies in it. That is 17 more thingies than Lita had in her last month! Wicked burn. With so many options you don't even have to play as the Champ, talk about a good selling feature.
General Manager Mode
Hey dudes and dudeets, what is the happinings? Dude Love here to tell you about the new and improved General Manager Mode, yeah baby! *squeeeeekoink* I don't THINK SO, Duuuude. I've spent long enough in the boiler room to know you couldn't explain a video game mode well let alone how you got those hot girls to dance around you. *squeeee* You see, I've been beaten and burned and torn and cut and for what, for what!?! *bang, bang* So I could become a lenged, do a couple months worth of work every few years, and otherwise remain in retirement. General Manager mode is a lot like that now, you can run the WWE and choose to fight in actual matches. Pick Smackdown or Raw, assemble your roster, balance your budget, cultivate feuds, and try to get better ratings than the other brand. Simulations are great but my explanation isn't! Have a nice day!
Three Systems, Three Systems, Three Systems!

So I've found some things out about online, since I have the instruction manual now. This is for 360 but I'm sure it is mostly the same for PS2.
Up to four players, any Exhibition match type with whatever rule set you want. Rankings and trade able CAWs are in. Title matches are available using your created Championship title.
Created title? Voice support? Oh yes, I'll end up running a fed if we have enough interest on the 360 side. MY IDEAS: I'll expect people to RP their created characters with posts to the eventual PAW thread. You can cultivate your own feuds but I'll probably try writing some story lines as well. I'll come up with a card either every week or every other. After the card is announced we'll have at least a week to post "interviews" in the thread before the matches. Sadly we can't setup PPVs where those not in the match get to be spectators, I know I was dreaming, so instead winners of a PAW match will need to PM me a quick summery of the match including any highlights and I'll post the finale card results along with the card for the next "show." It'll be great.
So, yeah, I guess if anyone is interested in the above idea and plans on getting Smackdown for the 360 post in this thread to let me know. I'll keep a running list.

Thats all I got.
It was on Youtube, but WWE had it removed because everyone was taking the piss.
*sigh* yet another game that makes me want a 360.
And the thought of playing in a PA league gives me the jibblies, in a good kinda way. Hopefully I can afford a 360 after I graduate and get a real job.
Also, I'm really hating how lazy THQ/Yuke's are about this franchise. They do alot of things half assed. Like how the first time they went online it was so limiting. Then the second year they had a horrible lag problem, no mic support, and didn't bother to install any cheat preventions which pretty much broke the online game. And now they said this game wouldn't support downloadable content for the 360, or the ability to rip songs off the HDD for entrance music.
Honestly this Smackdown, based on the 360 version, feels a lot like No Mercy. You nail the other guy with a major move and he actually stays on the ground. The combat is slower and the moves more varied now. The only thing No Mercy has over this new Smackdown is the inability to fall off the announcers table just from walking (grrrrr) and nostalgia.
As far as the PAW is concerned, it sounds like a great idea. And I'll more than likely be creating my wrestlers' music on garageband and then playing them from my iPod while playing Smackdown. It's tedious to get the right effect but it's worth it. And it's better than having to listen to either someone else's theme or a lame generic rock riff that goes on too long, like past titles.
The gameplay seems alright, I'll still have to see where they're going with this "control the move" thing. If you can use it to control the roll of a Death Valley Driver or the spin of a flying headscissors, it will be the greatest thing to happen to wrestling games. Otherwise, I just want the old N64 THQ control scheme back.
fuck
i want to wrestle with youse guys
Initially, I'm very impressed. Played my first match as Kid Kash (loved the guy in ECW) against Super Crazy. Disabled entrances from the get-go, no way I'm waiting for that crap to load. The match was fun but I kept feeling that they hadn't play-tested it enough to make it an authentic wrestling experience. Three of my finishing moves later, Super Crazy is still whooping my ass and eventually pins me after a few weak moves (all reversals, no finishing move executed throughout entire match and he had me for the 3 *sigh*).
So I thought, wow, horrible gameplay here. That sucks...
Until I went into options and found that everything can be changed by adjusting gauges. Much better now. About to start on create-a-wrestler. Anyone who wants to play, let me know.
[spoiler:f6e90d4634]Shane o Mac is in the game. He better have his jersey. For a non wrestler, he sure did take alot of risks. Can you jump off rafters in this game? [/spoiler:f6e90d4634]

I was able to play for about an hour. I'm loving almost everything but, as usual, two steps forward and one step back. No mini-games before the match like '06. Some of the layer options, like elbow pads over clothes, don't work this year. Maybe I was doing something wrong but when trying to put letters on the back or front of my CAW they were backwards. :? Walking off tables bothers the hell out of me to this day. I had one glitch where I did a move and ended up in the audience.
On the plus side the actual game play feels a lot like No Mercy now. :^: Ladder matches are much, much better than in the past. My only fear with them is you might be able to "snipe" a win, depends on if the "grip gauge" refills or not. Didn't have time to test that. There are more moves using the ladder as a weapon and, maybe, less as well once you are on the top. It seems you can only shove people off the top when you are both up there unless you have a finisher stored up. The hit detection seems improved, for the most part.
All around I'm impressed but I haven't played for very long. Oh shits, guys, the best part is YOU CAN ACTUALLY HIT THE FIVE-STAR FROGSPLASH! That is right, people lay on the ground long enough to hit top rope moves, woooo!
He's Edge.
He was still in TNA when this roster was licensed into the game. The CAW can make a PERFECT copy of him, however.
And yes, you can jump off of rafters. Through tables, too. I also believe you can double-stack tables, which gets a big 'win' from me.
I'll definitely need to pick this up sooner rather than later.
How varied are the items, shirts and logos for create a wrestler? Able to create your own entrances? How are the move sets handled for each wrestler created?

So.. wait. One of the new features is the grapple system that the N64 games used, via A + direction, with tapping or holding A to determine strength?
When I get the game, I am so in the PAW, though my schedule can get rather hectic. I used to love doing this shit with my friends.
He said he accomplished everything one person can in wrestling so he quite to focus on other things, primarily his music. The only time you hear about the guy is when he pops up on some random VH1 show about jerking off to 80s hair bands, or whatever..
I'm sold.
I have the game and I love the idea. Love RP feds, ran one at the CinemaConfidential forum a while back. It was wonderful fun. Let me know how I can help.
Keep in touch I'd love to help out as much as possible.
Basically, for CAW, is there any reason to get this for 360 over the PS2?

I have bright white walls and a yellow-green floor and a purple Morpheus chair. Interesting.
Steam: Feriluce
Battle.net: Feriluce#1995
If not with his cock he certainly did with a chair.
edit: And on leaving the server, I decided to message 'gg' to everyone involved. Lashley was my partner, and we defeated Triple H and John Cena. I was Benoit and you know I Crippler Crossfaced ftw. Then I saw that everyone I played with was in UK. I guess that explains the lag.
