Demo Review
Finally we get to play a sneak
preview of the game, unfortunately I have not been able to get hold of the demo
yet, so i got someone to write a short review on it... there is alot more that
could of been added to this but until i can get a demo or the full game ill
write a feature length review, or paste it in from somewhere (j/k)
SD3: JBI Playable Demo
WWF Smackdown! 3 Just Bring it - The Demo
One of the most eagerly anticipated games of 2001, WWF Smackdown 3 came out in
demo form last Saturday. As demo's go it was extremely generous with six
wrestlers to choose from (The Rock, HHH, Angle, Austin, Kane and The Undertaker)
and two match types available to play (singles and tag).
The first thing that strikes you is how much the graphics have improved since
the game has been put on to playstation 2 everything is a lot smoother, none of
the overlapping that occurred in SD2 occurs in the demo. The moves look a lot
better and are all much better animated. The programmers have included a lot
more moves making the wrestlers move lists a lot more accurate. There are now a
maximum of 12 grapple moves from the front position and 8 from behind., there's
also a maximum of 4 upper turnbuckle moves.
Conversely there are some glitches still to be worked out especially in tag
matches, when tags are made and double team moves performed. Also the improved
graphics seem to have slowed down the speed of the game play .
Overall the demo is excellent and a great advert for how good the complete game
is going to be. The only to have improved the demo would have been to have put a
couple of the new superstars in as opposed to the ones that appeared in the
previous games.
Pro's
New moves have been added
More moves in the grapple positions
Double team moves whilst both members of a tag team are in the ring
Con's

The referee can get annoying
