the hell with x-box, playstation here i come! |
| SHAWN from Toronto,Canada says (23/Sep/2003): |
Once again a sad attempt at a x-box wrestling game.And once again thq, sub-contracts anchor to do there dirty work(WHO THE HELL IS ANCHOR!!)
I could go on and on about how the game sucks...And I will.
1)The cpu wrestlers must take the small bus to the arena, cause they are all retarted. They pin you 30 times in a row, they come during your match and beat up the cpu, and in a ladder-match they run around in circles waiting for someone to win the belt above them(Which takes about 2 min smashing every buton)
2)Yes the graphics are cool, but if i just wanted graphics I would watch wwe on t.v. you can't beat reality. the game play sucks period.
3)You have to try and try again to steal from each superstar just to get there stupid outfit!! Who wants brocks panties anyway.
4) AWWW F*** it I'll sell my x-box, buy a ps2 and wait for the new smackdown, I am sorry x-box but thank THQ for not tossing their ANCHOR far enough....they have both sunk your ship.
bottom line is that I've waited since the last s*it raw game, for a new one to arrive (thats over 1 year), the wait was hardly worth the 10 min I had enjoying it, 9 of which was the time I spent checking what each superstar looked like.
thanx for givin a s*it

what have i done to deserv this this???????? |
| Juan from Mexico city says (23/Sep/2003): |
i waited... a long time for this crap... and im so dissapointed .. the grahics are good but the rest suxˇˇ on my very first match i was pinned at least 20 times in a role.. every time i wanted to get up my oponnent kick me and then pin me.. over and over and over and over and over again.. so this means that the a.i. sux, im so tired to run as an ashole over the ring, i lay the finishing move (S. michael´s sweet chin music) at leats 10 times and the count get only to "2" IN EASY MODEˇˇˇˇˇ (in ps2´s shut your mouth with one last ride or at least 2 sweet chin music your oponnent is pretty much done)... rey mysterio mask?? when mysterio has use that outfit?.... i guess the only thing i enjoy its watching Goldberg spearing me...of course i was tired of this game so i didnt play it anymore thats why goldberg spear me after i give him at least 10 sweet chin music.. stay away from this game and lets wait for the next smackdownˇˇ
|
I was waiting that long for this!!!!!! |
| Augie from California says (23/Sep/2003): |
When I first got the game, I picked my favorite wrestler Kane. IT DIDNT EVEN HAVE HIS NEW ENTRANCE MUSIC!!!!!!! Theres a lot of wrestlers that dont have theiroriginal theme like Kane, Chris Nowinski, Matt Hardy, Victoria, and Stacey Keibler. Some wrestlers even have their old songs like RVD and the Dudley Boyz. When I played the ladder match, it took forever to get the damn belt. I think it was a waste of money.

SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! |
| Rob from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada says (24/Sep/2003): |
i am a huge fan of wrestling but i must say THQ better take some real hard lessons from playstations smackdown. Raw 2 for x-box majorly sucks lemons. I mean the cpu is so easy to beat even on hard mode. The cpu wrestlers are so stupid, they take for ever to attack and when they do its only one or two moves thats it. The matches are boring. They need more types like bra and panties match, last man standing, lumberjack ect... NEEDS BLOOODDDDD!!!!!. And finally the story mode is so boring. THQ needs to hire some new writers for the next raw perhaps true wrestling fans to write the story mode.

ARE YOU TRYING TO RIP US OFF? |
| Tired Of Crap from Orlando, Fl. says (24/Sep/2003): |
The majority of Xbox owner are over 18 years of age. Now, one would think the games such as RAW 2 would be more realistic, difficult to beat, better quality matches, special features such as a bra and panties match and parking lot brawls, oh yes...and BLOOD!!
Where in the hell is the BLOOD?? This is a joke right? Every game that came out of WWE on Xbox has gotten worse... As an adult, I am sick of this crap!! Are you trying to make us gamers feel like we are naive and stupid to come out with garbage such as Raw 2?
What is so sad, is that Game Cube has better WWE wrestling games then Xbox!! If you do not believe me check out Wrestlemania XIX. Hey WWE and THQ wake up... your going to lose customers real fast!!
I am getting real tired of spending my hard earn dollars ($50.00) for a cartoon wrestling game!!
Give us wrestling fans what we want or get out of the business!!
Guess I will go back to playing my sons Game Cube and Wrestlemania XIX.

WTF? |
| Sleepy from Wis USA says (24/Sep/2003): |
I been waiting for this game like everyone else. And just like everyone else this game I think blows. I like that you can put your music to your created wrestlers. But after that there is nothing else. Why does no one talk in this game? The controls are alright and the wrestlers are done very good. I think maybe the developers tried to hard to make this a good game and it all went to hell on them. They should of stayed away from the way they made the last raw. Then maybe it could of been a whole lot better then what they come up with. I knew I should of rented this before i bought it. But i guess im a fool like the others. If they do make a new one im gonna wait till i know its good to buy rather then be fooled again. MCL!!!

Final Thought |
| Rob from oshawa, ontario, Canada says (24/Sep/2003): |
Ya i left a message here last night about raw 2 that it sucked royally. Well i forgot to leave my fial thought so here it is. THQ should bring out Smackdown for the xbox so atleast us xbox owners have a good wrestling game to, or THQ should redo raw and take all the advice from fans and put into the game, or finally EASPORTS makes the best sports games so maybe they should take over making wrestling games since they are the GODS of sports games.

| Judd Jennrich from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA says (25/Sep/2003): |
Hey this is to all of you that are complaining. If you think the Ps2 games are so much better and your a true wrestling fan..Buy a ps2 also...then you can play both. You need to look at both sides of the spectrum...Some aspects of this game are better then any other game ever. But it is lacking some things the Ps2 games have. But this game is 10x better then its counterpart that came out at the same time...wwe Wrestlemania for the gamecube. This game is so indepth when it comes to the create a character mode...and that is what gets me. Everything I was dissapointed about in a game before was never a factor with Raw 2. Great game and thats the botomline casue I said so!

it should be more |
| dreshawn2003 from usa says (25/Sep/2003): |
i think the game is good. but it need a different story line becuz u do the same thing all day long in where are the other belt the i.c. in Europe.in next time u make a game let the person do wateva with the people in put a gm in the game ok 1

Good Game, didnt live up to the hype though |
| A gamer from Perth, WA says (26/Sep/2003): |
ok, ok, raw 2 is a pretty good game and has some good poins and some bad points. Good points being that it bosts some of the best graphics seen by a gaming console, excellent CAW (create a wrestler) mode. But like most games, it has its flaws.
How in gods green earth can a woman become the champ, how is it that rediculous tag partners (stephanie and flair for example) can become tag champs? No talkin in the cut seens, not even sub titles, how is it u can miss somethin like that?
I mean come on, some times i think the creaters have got thiers minds focused on the dosh, they forget bout the game they r makin. Still, i like the idea of creating ur own story, instead of doin one already predetermined, although i think in some places they forgot to butter their bread. It makes u wonder, the first raw was, to say the least, sh*t, i thought these developers couldnt possible miss these mistakes and raw 2 would be awsome and not just great. Makes u wonder if they will actually be able top pull off a raw 3. Ok well im done b*tchin now overall it is a great game but like i said b4, its not an awesome game and it should have been

Blow yourselfs losers |
| Butch from El Paso, Texas, USA says (26/Sep/2003): |
Everyone here who thinks this game sucks can blow themselves. The reason, or one of them anyway, is because the x-box gaming system is new at creating wrestling games. Remember, those of you that actually give a $#< remove me > at !,the first smackdown game that sucked as much as the first raw game. All x-box needs is a little more time and alot more of support from the fans. Because comments like these is what forces them to stop making games or wrestling games anyway. So do me and all of the rest of the real wrestling fans a favor, and this is to all of those fake wrestling fans AKA the people who put the game down take your complains and shine it up real nice turn and turn that son of a bitch sideways and stick it sraight up your big fat candyass.

It's no "No Mercy" |
| Sean from Burlington, Ontario, Canada says (26/Sep/2003): |
I have to give credit where credit is due. This game is good. Although it may not be the best (by a long shot) it does have some perks. The one thing that I am really complaining about is the emphasis they tried to put on graphics. I have an Atari wrestling game that has the worst graphics ever, but it's still fun to play. Who cares about graphics, and who cares about music, who cares about the videos. The only thing that will keep avid gamers into it is game play. The controls suck, the tag team in series mode is horrible (only because your partner breaks up the pin for some reason) and the game is way to easy. In the first RAW installment, I found it tricky and not to mention boring, due to the difficulty level. In RAW 2, it is way to easy. The more powerful characters, such as Triple H, tap out within the first two minutes. This lack of challenge makes this a weak game. Some of the aspects of the old games have been lost too, such as the Smack Down mall from No Mercy, and collecting all that crap in WWF Raw. It’s the side things that make the games more fun. The create a wrestler mode is entertaining, but after a few hours you get bored and turn it off. This is where the Smack Down mall would keep you interested in the game. One of the only things I really like about the game is being able to have rivalries and get one of the Wrestling chicks to be your manager…unless it’s Jazz or something, that would just suck. In my opinion they should have just copied WWF NO MERCY for the N64.

I care more about game modes than GRAPHICS |
| Arman from Sharon, Mass, USA says (27/Sep/2003): |
hey Today I spent 50 bucks I mean I am happy I have it but I was dissapointed as I expected a better game. I agree going for manager is pretty cool but theirs no storylines which is really stupid I try creating some but I'll fight random people each show which I hate. I was expecting them to come up storylines that would be awesome and perhaps let us be a GM and have a roster and stuff kind of like an Owner Mode for Madden 2004. Whatever I just hope a WWE game for XBOX comes out reeeaaal soon and its MUCH better. You have dissapointed we XBOX Console Owners

Could be a little better |
| Jeff from Salem NH, Unitrd States says (29/Sep/2003): |
I think what should happen is that THQ should take all there games and combine them into one. That way there we can have one great game for all the systems except for the creative songs thats for the x-box lol. But any ways I would say everyone would be a little happier. Keep trying and hopefully it will happen. Other wise the game is much better than the last.
|
awesome but not the best |
| Tre' Dyess from kinder, louisiana, USA says (30/Sep/2003): |
I have to say that it's better than raw 2. But it lacks more characters(Shelton,Charlie,Jeff,etc).And no blood! it's got to get brutal in the TLC and Hell in the Cell matches. The thing that gets me is that Kane has his mask. His video shows him with out it. The create a superstar still needs inprovement. But the graphics are awesome. They need some voices in it or at least some messages at the bottom. The Wrestle Mania XIX stage don't look nothing like the real thing. plus their is no unlockable characters in it. c'mon. The Wrestle Mania XIX for Gamecube is better but the graphics SUCK in it. i hope to see inprovement in the next raw game (if they make one). But i do think that it's better than the smackdowns for the playstation 2. Their graphics suck too. but i do like how you can slam your opponet threw 4 parts of the cell instead of just one trapt door. i would like to be able to slam somebody through any part of the cell. but overall it's a good game.

raw 2 is not what i expected |
| OMar from Toronto says (30/Sep/2003): |
I think the game is good put the bad thing is the ladder match unbeated able.I also dont like that it doesn't have elmation chamber.It so hard to unlock new matches.The grahics are good put i know the game creaters can do beater. I bought this when it came out it's an ok game but I think smack down shut your moth is better. You can't even talk to vince or have anywhere fall.In the game you cant hear what manger is saying.I wish in raw 3 we have choices of to say to some one like smack down shut your mouth you get to pick from sentance to say.I also wish raw 3 will have elmation chamber.The story for raw 3 should also make sence unlike raw2.The creater of the game I'm noy trying to say you didn't do good put you can do better. I also wish in raw 3 the ladder matche is possible to win.

Lets be realistic. |
| Templar_Hunter from Albany, NY, USA says (1/Oct/2003): |
My friend and I just finished the season mode for Ruthless Aggression. If you dont have a belt at the end of the season the game is over. I think, but I could be wrong, that even if you do have a belt at the end of the season the game is over. Reminicent of the days of the old nintendo with techmo bowl. You could pick from a small number of teams to play a season with but regardless of how you finished the season, the game ended after the superbowl and the only way to play another season was to repeat the previous one with the same team or choose another team. Even the best of games gets stale after a bit if the element of infinite possiblities is nonexistent.
Not that I think it is proper to compare a wrestling game to a football game but in the circumstances there are some key points that apply. For those who do remember, TechmoBowl had a sequel, called SuperTechmo Bowl. It improved upon the original by getting actual permission to use nfl teams, rosters and the complete 1991 season schedual(I think) and any 2 teams could battle it out for the year and possibly get to the superbowl etc etc. However again the continuous multiple season play mode was beyond our reach and the player had to settle for repeating the same schedual year over and over until madden 94 or 95 for the super nintendo and its rival at the time the sega genesis. (Yes this is still about WWE Raw2 be patient) At which time at the completion of a season you could select from 2 preprogrammed alternate seasons to sort of continue into future possibilities but it too had its limits. It wasnt untill the advent of the playstation and the SPS that Franchise mode gave players the depth of infinite possibilities in their game. Finally players could take control of their favorite team and guide them through a season and then perform the off season tasks like drafts and free agent acquisition that made the game seem more like a virtual NFL. How does this relate to Raw2? I think the smart readers already see where Im heading.
Raw2 is very close to being the perfect WWE game. Very close indeed on a video game evolutionary standard. It allows for near limitless character creation possibilities and has a very popular music editor that enables the full creation of the character not just his or her appearance. Unfortunatly it is obvious that the developers of this game focused just a little too much on the charachter creation portion of the game. And didnt do enough to make the story line portion of the game as strong as we would have liked.
Thing is, all in all its really not in the interest of any video game creator to make the perfect video game. In fact its really not even in the best interests of the WWE to put out a wrestling game as perfect as we can imagine. If Raw2 had the same kind of infinite progressive season potential that a modern day football game has, it would have 2 major faults.
1 At times players could actually produce storylines that were more interesting to them than those on actual Wrestling. Now Im not saying that there would be a mass abandonment of live WWE action, that would just be ignorant. I am saying however that if you realistically can recreate a exceptionally detailed simulation of anything AND completely control it, why woldnt the simulation be better than the real thing that cannot be controlled. (perfect example- there wouldnt be a market for inflatable love dolls if not for some guys out there who felt that they were an acceptable alternative to the real thing)
2 It would be awful hard to follow the "Best Wrestling Game Ever" with an adequate sequal without breaking the limitations of the console it was on with a more advanced console.
Long Story Short: Not bad, cant wait for Raw3.
|
its my turn!!!!!! |
| Chuck from Belvidere says (6/Oct/2003): |
Ok Raw2 as some good parts but the game sucks dogs for dimes.Because they are missing so many people in the game and I really hated Raw and Raw2 . I really hate the ladder matchs and Butch from EL PASO why dont you put the game up your fat candyass.If you like the game then ok great for you but most people hate the game so they can say what they want to say . But I have to say Raw2 really sucks THQ didnt care that the game sucked because they are making money from the people that buys the game .And thats why I didnt buy the game right away I waited to play it first to see I liked it.Because I didnt like Raw and all the smackdowns where great games and I like alot of people say the same thing that I do about that.And they sould have kanes mask off in the game or make a match and have kane lose the mask or something like that.And storylines what storylines I want someone to show me where the storylines are in the game because how the game is set up is you only pick how you want to face in a match and most of the time you dont get the person you want to face.And I think that THQ sould give everyone there money back because the game sucked some bad.

Smackdown Here Comes The Pain Is Way Better |
| Cole Randall from Game Ville Usa, HHH America says (6/Oct/2003): |
yeah this game has better graphics than smackdown shut your mouth but they are not better than smackdown here comes the pain. plus it doesn't have as good of features. this is why THQ fired over half of the Raw 2 creation staff, so maybe Raw 3 WILL be better, i can't say. but this game was a big mistake... it seems to me like they were in a hurry to release the game and that's why there are sooooo many missing fetures.
That's it,
Cole Randall
