Story Mode Plot: Season mode is a feature in every SmackDown! game where you select a wrestler and guide him through a career in the WWE.

The game-play felt a lot more realistic & factual.

This game was Great.

Pros: The graphics & animation models on the superstars in this game was a improve and way better from the previous games, In the selection screen you can choose some of the favourite WWE superstars from the 2002 period, I did like the selections of pay-per-view arenas & backstage areas, the season mode was the most memorable part of the game for me & the controls are pretty easy to control.

Cons: Theirs not that enough voice acting in this game in this game & at times the paying of the game can get too underwhelming.
