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... Read more

Beneath the control flaws, the engine remains a step up from games that have previously dominated the genre.

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...

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
This is a good game but not as good as WM21 or Raw 2 Read more
*** 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
