About

WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain is a professional wrestling game developed by Yuke's, released in 2003 exclusively for PlayStation 2. Players compete in a roster of match types — including the Elimination Chamber and Bra & Panty matches — using an enhanced grappling system that refines the series' core combat mechanics. The game's central Season Mode features storylines written by WWE's own creative team, alongside a seasonal statistics tracker and an attribute-building system that allows players to spend earned money on improving their created Superstar's abilities. Progress unfolds across dynamically shifting storylines, giving the mode ongoing replayability. Alongside the current WWE roster, the game includes a selection of legendary wrestlers such as Sgt. Slaughter, Ted DiBiase, and Jimmy Snuka, accessible as unlockable content. Improved production values round out the presentation, bringing the broadcast aesthetic of WWE television closer to the PlayStation 2 hardware.
