@ProfessorEss: @CL60: Actually, yeah, you're right.  I just remember them talking with reverence about wrestling quite a few times, but really, it is just the old stuff they love (and that they make me want to watch, really). 
Plus since I don't know anyhting about wrestling or wrestling games I can't really say much about correctness and whatnot.

Alex needs to start a 'The adventures of Dr. Tracksuit' segment.

This quick look would have been better if it had Jeff not Alex.

Alex's poor play makes this game look worse than it probably is.

It does. Half of the time he was pressing the wrong buttons to do things and blaming it on the game.

So true 

He said he'll be in a Ladder Match and that's what happened, what were they talking about?

it is pretty amazing how much worse this franchise has gotten over the years, I have very fond memories of the PS2 era games, having massive 6-way boiler room brawls, dropping elbows from the top of the smackdown fist they used to have... and being able to start a no DQ match in the ring and take the fight to any section of the arena I felt like. it's sad that there hasn't been a single wreslting game that's better than the ps2 smackdown games, or even arguably No Mercy on N64.

Even that old arcade game, WWF Wrestlefest, from 1991, has more passion and fun than any recent wrestling games.
This is fucking FIFA or Madden with wrestlers! People already have a choice in playing UFC and MMA realistic games, so who the hell wants to play a realistic, thus boring wrestling game?
Why not an NBA Jam arcade, crazy style wrestling game with exaggerated characters and funky moves?
I swear the developers today have no imagination.
I just hope Rockstar will make a wrestling game one day and teach these idiots a lesson.

Good to see the Smackdown games haven't changed in their decade of existence.

And you watched a 20 minute video about this game because you weren't interested? Great job with your logic there.

" To the ones asking "Why would Alex quick look a game he hates?!?!?", the fact of the matter is quick looks are only funny when the ones involved are giving the game in question the business. Quick looks where both dudes love the game are actually a little dull, though I will watch the titles I'm specifically interested in if it's a blockbuster release of something (Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, God of War III).   Oh, and it doesn't help them be happy about looking at the game when the game sucks. "

The game doesn't suck THAT much. Alex just doesn't seem to know how to play the game properly. That sort of removes some element of comedy there and goes into the realm of stupidity.

The ladder-play in this game is simultaneously hilarious and sad.

@NocturnusFatalis: Quick looks aren't just for entertainment purpose, they are to give a brief, hopefully accurate taste of a game. If they are not able to give an accurate taste of the game and instead just attack the game without credence, then it just makes giant bomb look foolish.

Dr. Tracksuit = Jeff Hardy's entrance/animations + Maryse's entrance music + Chris Jericho's hair + Andrew "Test" Martin's physique.

So you watch a 20 minute long video just for one thing you find entertaining, and then comment on how terrible it is. Great job, you sure proved who are the dumbasses in the world.

I never complained on how it was terrible. I enjoyed the quick look. Stop making assumptions and chill out bro.

Because people with low standards keep buying them. I bought 2009 as the first wrestling game I owned since the PS1. Honestly, Smackdown 2 on the PS1 was more fun.
