WWE Raw was one of the first wrestling games to come out on the Xbox in 2002, The game itself looks good graphics wise the wrestlers look very realistic the face and body detail were flawless and the arena effects amazing,

The Roster on the game isn't very impressive, not as big as the one's on smackdown games, you can create superstars using the create mode again it's nothing new to what the other wrestling games offered back in this era

The Controls in the game were very outdated it felt like you were playing a old early 90's wrestling game at times and the wrestler movements were also very slow sometimes when performing a move it looked like the wrestler is doing it in slow motion even when the referee goes to do the 3 count it took an age for him to count to 3!

Another thing about this game which really was a massive negative was the lack off a storymode there was no story to follow at all you could make tournaments to win belts but it was straight forward match and match action.. so this really isn't a game to buy if you like a good story to follow like career mode on smackdown

Although the game looks impressive and the moves look good when performed at right times this wrestling game is one to stay away from it's Rival smackdown beats it hands down


Overall Rating 5/10
