    Wrestling games have a big following whether they are good or bad. The PlayStation 2 has WWE Smackdown, the GameCube has WWE WrestleMania, and now the Xbox has WWE Raw. When I first put this game on I was pleasantly pleased about the graphics; the best I have seen in any wrestling game. The detail of each wrestler is very good and they do look like who they are supposed to be, but it is not all good I am afraid. However, the menu system is easy to follow, so there it is...

  2. WWE Raw

    As the only wrestling game available on Xbox, WWE Raw has to be recommended for sake of wrestling followers having nothing else of which to choose. Beneath the control flaws, the engine remains a step up from games that have previously dominated the genre. The lack of any sort of career or season mode hurts the single player experience, with exhibition going some way to recuperated this and minor yet influential innovations enhancing an otherwise shallow and somewhat...

    Members of wrestling fan clubs will more than likely find out where I live, and spray paint ‘Wrestling is RAD’ on an area 2 bricks by 4 bricks on my back wall, alongside the one that says ‘Tupac is ACE 2002’. But they’re inevitably going to be the only people who’ll like this. If you enjoy self-mutilation, or want a £40 coaster, buy it. Don’t be surprised if one night of sessioning on WWE Raw , to find your Xbox in the shower cowering in its corner,... Read more

  5. WWE Raw review

    Overall, if you're a WWE fan and must own a wrestling game for your Xbox buy it, but you probably will feel a little let down by WWE Raw. There's plenty of room for improvement but if you're prepared to persevere with it there's plenty of good wrestling action to be had. Hopefully for Raw 2 Anchor can add some features that create what we all watch on television, add some commentary, speed the action up a bit, refine the controls and you would just about have the perfect...

  1. "A dissapointment"

    This game was a huge dissapointment, at first it looks good, but during gameplay actions are very slow. However, the graphics and entrances are fantastic. I would recommend buying a smackdown game which are much better Read more

  3. Not that good

    *** I bought this for the youngster but paid under a tenner when it was on offer on Amazon earlier this year and it is OK I suppose. It isn't the best but it isn't the worst - it's simple enough and worth buying but only if it's cheap. *** Read more

    Despite the fact calling any wrestling game other than the 16-Bit game Raw is heresy, I suppose it was the natural choice for THQ to title it's Xbox wrestling games, given that the PS2 already had the WWF Smackdown! series on ... Read more
