How it plays
How does WWF SmackDown! play?
Matches are viewed from a 3D ringside perspective. The objective is to defeat an opponent by pinfall, submission, count-out, or another rule determined by the selected match type.
Players move around the ring, strike, grapple, throw opponents, climb turnbuckles, and perform signature or finishing moves when conditions are met. Match types include standard singles bouts, tag matches, handicap matches, and championship-oriented modes. Winning matches unlocks additional wrestlers and content, while the create-a-wrestler feature supports custom competitors.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play WWF SmackDown!?
- Learn the timing of the grapple and counter systems before attempting long attack sequences.
- Wear down an opponent with strikes and targeted grapples, then save the finishing move for a reliable pin attempt.
- In tag matches, use quick tags and keep the legal wrestler near the corner to reduce unnecessary isolation.
