The game has its obvious flaws, making it seem as if the creators of this game didn’t hire testers to test it prior to launch, but it’s an awesome game. I have put hours into season mode and love it. The game is a ton of fun, especially the in-depth create-a-wrestler mode which allows for you to make your own wrestler, who you can then throw into season mode and live out a drama through.

Given my experience with playing Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain on PS2, I was under the false impression that RAW 2 would be similar, considering it is made by the same company and was released just two months prior to HCTP. Unfortunately, it is not. The game looks good, but the gameplay is awful and unrealistic. Long story short, there is a reason why to this day people still rave about HCTP, and yet nobody ever mentions RAW 2. I expected I would have a different experience, just on a different console. Very disappointing.

After ten years, I still enjoy playing this game. It's essentially the original prototype to what would become the Universe Mode in the newer WWE Games, and it delivers. (If you enjoy playing Universe) Gameplay: 4/5 - Once you get past the learning curve, it's actually fairly easy to pick up and play. Personally, I've never seen any of the clipping problems this game is known for. Graphics: 4/5 - The models and entrances look great (Save for Goldberg and Rey Mysterio), but overall the look of the ring, the rope physics, the weapons look well done to me. Sound: 3.5/5 - The sound of the game is generally good, there are some strange ones, such as the climbing the cage and a lack of some superstar entrance music. The Create-a-Superstar mode is stellar, there aren't many people you can't create, this game has a better create-an-entrance mode than any Smackdown! game I've played. I wish that Anchor Inc. had been able to make a RAW 3 with more time than they had with RAW 2, it would have been a great contender and alternative to the Smackdown! Series.Read full review
I really love this game for one major reason: the create a player option. This game has absolutely my favorite create a player option for any game on the original Xbox. You can create absolutely unique character of your wildest imagination. You could make a minuture wrestler or a yellow skinned incredible hulk. Plus it plays well. It has tons of re-play value. It's lots of modes to run your teams of create a wrestlers through.

the thing that would bring everyone to love this game would be the storymode... graphics 7.5/10 tbe graphics... almost but not quite some models dont look like the wrestler which sometimes really angers me about this game but im not gonna whine and cry over it gameplay 7.5/10 again another 7.5 its because the gameplay is really weird and sometimes hard to workout you run everyone and your character runs weird every character runs at the same speed even the big show everything seesm really slow in it storymode 9.5/10 nearly perfect the storymode is much better then some svr games id rather play this storymode then svr modes but... the 0.5 that it missed out on was because the storyline is stupid in the face that if you chanllege the champion the next week youll get a title shot but then you do it again and you wont and maybe one other week youll do it and stephanie will come up and say you got a match next week so you miss out on your title shot but its great none of less the thing that is awesome with the storymode is the ammount of options how you can suprise attack select a manager manipulate bottomline if your a die hard fan for storymodes pick it upRead full review
What a great game. I remember playing this game alot a couple years ago. The gameplay was fun and the roster is awesome. The Create-An-Entrance is one of the best entrance creaters I've seen in a wrestling game. Importing custom music (for entrances) was always a favorite for me. There are plenty of superstars and match types to keep you entertained. If you're a wrestling fan, you'll probably like this game. (This game is also backwards compatible on Xbox 360.)
As I am something of a wrestling junkie, I was very attached to the same model of game for the Playstation 2, the Smackdown series. Some three years since the last of the Smackdown releases for PS2, I had since moved to the Xbox gaming system for the majority of my gaming desires. With the same format as its PS2 counterpart, and much easier control system, this made a wonderful addition to my collection. If you're a fan of the franchise, a follower of combat-style games, or like to invent your own sports reality, this is a must for the inner gamer within you. Overall, I'm VERY satisfied with this purchase and I feel you may be as well, provided the situation makes itself known.
Over the past couple years, I have played this game on and off. Bought and sold multiple xboxes just for this game, and recently picked up a copy of again because myself and a group of immature gamers liked playing it. The creat a wrestler options on this game are really awesome. And with the xbox hard drive, you can make a theme song for your wrestler on your pc and burn it off to a cd-rw and load it onto your xbox to make it even more original. However, the game play sucks. Graphics are out dated, and half them time when you win a title in the season mode, it says someone else has it instead. VERY glitchy and crappy in that aspect, but shines in others. THQ deff. didn';t take thier time on this one.
This game is very good, i play it for numerous hours!
