The Story Mode
Just Bring It has a pretty lame storyline. The dialogue between characters is pretty one-dimensional and unimaginative. If you were to compare storylines with JBI with one of the N64 games, there really is not much of an improvement. Also, the story mode is kinda short. Depending on which decisions you make, you can have a belt around your waist in 3 or 4 matches, which is a little disappointing. But it seems that THQ has learned from their mistakes, for they are promising a way better storyline in the next SmackDown installment, Shut Your Mouth!
The Memory Card Storage
GOOD LORD!!! To save this game, you need a whopping 4, 173 KB free on your memory card! That�s just a shade over half the card! The amount of space needed for this game can really make one think twice about buying this game. For those of us who have had a PS2 for a while now, our existing 8MB cards are probably starting to get full, which means we gotta plop down another $25-30 for a new memory card. Sure, you can make a lot of created wrestlers, but many not feel compelled to spend the extra cash.
In The End�
SmackDown: Just Bring It is truly one of the best wrestling game on the market today. Although, Raw for the Xbox has better graphics, it cannot compare to JBI�s gameplay. This is a must-have for any wrestling fan and definitely worth a look for all other gamers. As mentioned before, a great game to play with friends, so in the words of my fellow reviewer, �Let the trash-talking begin!� (I will beat you someday, B) I SmackDown my score for this game as an 8.75.
PS SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth is due out in November!
8.75
