WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It is a lot like the successful SmackDown! 2 Know Your Role game for PlayStation, but the major differences is that this game takes a big step forward in terms of visual presentation and new features to enhance the gaming experience.

The graphics and animation are visually stunning with regards to the variety of moves and the realism of the motions. For example, when a player chooses The Rock, the character gives him everything from The Rock's stomp, suplex or DDT. Another example is Chris Jericho's poses after he executes a bulldog, flying dropkick or Lionsault. But the best is Kurt Angle's post-match celebratory dance!

What stands out more than anything is the interactive options. A player can interact with the fans, or with announcers Michael Cole and Tazz. What's especially funny is when Tazz commentates on himself performing inside the ring. And in this game, the referee doesn't take any crap. The way a player treats the ref during the match is reflective on how he'll treat you in crunch time.

If you're a console gamer and a wrestling fan, you already know what WWF SmackDown is all about. Basically, you grab hold of a superstar and take him (or her) through the ranks of the WWF, experiencing all the triumph and betrayal that the journey to the top entails. Just Bring It continues the tradition of simple controls and eye-catching graphics, even though the preview build featured all sorts of clipping and collision problems that made wrestlers seem to merge together when they perform grapple moves. Of course, the highlight of any wrestling game is its character creation mode, and this new SmackDown features possibly the most complete Create-A-Superstar mode ever seen. You'll be able to make characters that range from realistic-looking grapplers to some crazy Ready 2 Rumble-looking super-freaks. THQ has definitely listened to the fans on this one. The Undertaker rides his motorcycle to the ring, champions stroll to ringside wearing their title belts, and you can even take the fight out into the stands. If they can fix the collision and clipping problems, WWF fans won't be disappointed.
