This review is from: WWF Smackdown! 2 (Know Your Role): Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

This is an awesome strategy guide! It lists the characters and their moves, and even says how to unlock certain characters, such as Stone Cold. It also says how to do special tricks, like Kane chokeslamming someone into a casket, or even a, dare I say it...3-D through a table! (BUH-BUH, get the table!) All in all this book definitely knows its role!

1.0 out of 5 stars This isn't a strategy guide. It's a move list., February 15, 2001

This review is from: WWF Smackdown! 2 (Know Your Role): Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I bought this book shortly after buying the game, but boy was I disappointed. The book contains no strategy whatsoever inside, just a list of controls and each character's moves. Even some of these were incorrect. For example, it says that to perform a character's finisher, you press L2. Nuh-uh!! it's actually L1!! The book has other mistakes such as having the old-school 'Godfather' instead of the 'Goodfather', having the wrong captions under screen shots, and having Mick Foley in the wrong place. On the back of this book it promises to give tips on gameplay and match modes but when you get the plastic cover off, you realise you've been well and truly lied to by the writer as there is nothing of the sort inside. Take my advice and don't bother buying this book. It won't tell you anything you don't already know. It's a pity because this really is a great game. Just not a great guide to go with it.
