THE GOOD: everything from graphics to gameplay to CAW to RIP ur music onto the game
THE BAD: the A.I but all wrestling games have problems with the A.I and i wished this game had a story but i am not complaning
SUMMARY: this game is the best wrestling game yet the graphics beats ps2 wrestling games and gamecube wresling game the gameplay is perfect unlike sd which is to fast and the gmanes CAW is the best in wrestling games history if this games season is very good the way you could steal and interfere and manupliate is just the best and it is also never ending that makes it better but if it had a story then this seasin will be the best from any other wresling game also the way you are able to rip your music in the X-BOX harddrive and then make a CAW have that music as his entrance that is what i like about it.
THE GOOD: The only thing good about this game is the graphics. The character models are excellent and the transition from one move to the next is done pretty well. The player animations, such as walking down the ramps, etc, aren't done so well, though.
THE BAD: Character animations. Entrance animations. Controls. I mean hell, almost everything in this game is bad!
SUMMARY: You're a wrestling fan. You only own an Xbox. Well, that's the only reasons why I'd get Raw 2. If you're a wrestling fan but own another console, get Smackdown for PS2 or Wrestlemania for GameCube. This game totally misses why wrestling games are fun. It tries to make up all of the losses with graphics, but totally misses. The multiplayer is alright, though. The match options, such as Hell in the Cell, etc. are alright. No elimination chamer, though. The season mode is pretty weak, too. I seriously would look pass this game if I were you.
THE GOOD: Amazing graphics, good fun, exellent weapon interactivity, realistic matches
THE BAD: naff season, no blood, in season it makes HBK best friends with rikishi, no draft, trish could become wwe champ
SUMMARY: the game is good i exhibition and has amazing CAW mode, but the season is the big thing we all like, but this season is dull, nice touches, but very dull, there is no story, you just have a match then go home
there is no backstage and you cant even go up the ramp, RAW 1 is far far better, so stick to that
still worth a play, borrow dont buy....
THE GOOD: Excellent and good quality graphics. The sound is amazing. There are over 50 wrestlers to choose. Also, I like the Create a wreslter mode.
THE BAD: The control really sucks!! I barely tolerate wrestling games with very bad controls. Also, when you grab or get grabbed, the action is slow. Sometimes the matches get boring, the computer most of the time counter your moves. When your wreslter is layed down, you try to tap any buttons rapidly to stand up, but the computer doesn't seem to respond, sometimes it takes more than 15 seconds for your wrestler to stand up. There isn't a story in the season mode, there are not dialogues or voices. How could the computer puts Lita with Steven Richard against the Dudleys? That doesn't make any senses.
SUMMARY: RAW2 is the first wrestling game on Xbox that i've tried until now and I was very disapointed. I think SD is one of the decent wrestling games that i've played. I feel very sad to see how...
THE GOOD: Graphics. Number of superstars. Create-a-guy.
THE BAD: How long does a suplex take? Control works against you. Unplayable.
SUMMARY: Yes. I just got an Xbox. As my 3rd Xbox game, WWE Raw 2 just seems like a step down from the series. Well, not much. The game has a ton of wrestlers-over 40-and has good graphics. And they throw in the best Create-a-thing you'll ever see. But, it also has a terrible flaw that makes this game virtually unplayable. In order to win a match with your created superstar, you have to play the Season mode to get more ability points. But the game has the worst controls I have seen in a wrestling title to date. Movement is handled by the D-Pad and the left analog stick is used for sprinting. This makes manuvering around the ring harder than it should be. Also, when you perform a grapple, the animation occurs in painfully slow motion. In fact, all of the other attack animations are in slow mo as well....
THE GOOD: Laughing at your friends who wasted $50. Create a player is the best of every wwe game to date. And the greatest part of all...>>>>turning the game off<<<<<
THE BAD: Everything not mentioned in the good(above).
SUMMARY: There isn't a nice way to say it, THQ you suck at wrestling games,(except for the (playstation 2 whats up with that?!?
Another dissappointing wrestling game, period. The a.i. isn't to bad but really needed improvment. The season mode was nice, but executed VERY POORLY. You get the option to do bactstage assualts and ambushes, steals and complain, but they only work 20% of the time, and when you interfere in a match, its only for a minute or two then the computer takes over your guy/girl and attacks who they want to. They still can't get those damn table matches right, when u go to put your opponent through the table, you both fall off and sometimes it just breaks all by...
THE GOOD: the graphics over 65 superstars best caw ever neverending season new match types including : royal rumble , tlc, ladder , table , hiac , cage , kingofthering and more. put your own music in the game for the ultimate caw entrance ( + titantron ) and more
THE BAD: i heard the a.i is not as good but then i hear sum people the a.i is better when playing on hard. another bad thing is in season when you have a enemy and he interferes in your matches he attacks your opponent not you. cant go on the ramp or backstage. i cant think of any more at the moment but i will update my review when i played the game
SUMMARY: raw2 is in my opinion going to be the best wrestling game ever this year. i liked it since december januari , then i searched google for info about the game and it ended up here at neo . i'm still...
Raw 2 is a great game to play and provides you with hours and hours of entertainment. Before I start with the good parts of the game, i'll do the bad things.
Interference in Season. Why is it your enemies attack your opponents and not you when they interfere? A little bug somebody in Anchor missed. PLus, if you have a title shot and someone interferes, and you go on to win the match, then they win the belt, not you. Also, getting the belt in a ladder match can be a pain and you cna be hanging from it for a fair bit if you don't know what you're doing.
Now with that out of the way, the good stuff, firstly the "Create" part of the game.
Create - an - entrance. This is amazing, you can practically do anything you want to the entrance of your CAW or you can alter the entrances of the current superstars in the game. You can alter lights, phyro, what time lights come on, what colour they are, if fog appears etc... It's a great feature.
THE GOOD: Practically nothing to me. The Graphics were a bit ok but wasnt that realistic. HBK's Entrance, Rocks Entrance. Rock looked like the best model in the game.
THE BAD: The season kinda suxed for me. When you call out people it wasnt that great but the attacks were ok. Damn this was slow. I never played Raw so this is the first time playing a raw game. HBK's entrance was great and by far the best entrance in this game. O ther entrances were poor like Brocks, WTF was he doing.
SUMMARY: This was a dissapointment to me. I thought this would come out to be a great game but it wasnt that great. The Season suxed, the gameplay suxed, it was so damn slow. I dont think there is blood but i might be wrong. Jhon cenas intro suxed aswell as Eddie's. Alot of Entrances that i saw looked stupid.
THE GOOD: ummm i had to think but the caw is okish, but the entrance design rules the best i have seen in any wrestling game finally entering o ur own music and video
THE BAD: man oh man is this game slow boring hard to get into slow handles bad slow annoying slow and slow
SUMMARY: very very poor effort frm thq maybe im spoilt by every single smackdown that was better thtan thtis rubbish buut if thq make smackdown surely they can improve this poor excuse for a game better. take my advice and leave it on the shelf and wait for hctp. even game spot gave it a 6 out of 10.
a huge step sideways for the raw series
but in saying that designing ur entrance is the only good thing i hope hctp has this feature but hey its ur call just cos i didnt like it u mite. if ur into being bored buy it but my advice is wait for hctp or raw 3
