WWE Raw 2

"WWE Raw 2= Best..Wrestling...Game...Ever!"

Ok to start it off I would like to say that I love this game. I didn't really lke raw 1 either, and I am also a fan of the SM series. I am also going to get HCTP, but I had a feeling this game was going to be great, so I got and well, I wasn't disappointed. Now lets get started with this review!

Graphics: 9/10

These are the best graphics that I have ever seen in a wrestling video game. The feel of the game is just right and it feels realistic. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because there is no blood! The detail on the wrestlers are amazing. The lighting effects are real cool.

Gameplay: 8/10

The story mode for this game is amazing. That is by far the best season I have ever played in a wrestling game. The reason I gave the gameplay a 7 is because when you do a finisher, the opponent never stays down after you do it.

Controls: 9/10

The controls are great. Although they do need some time to get used to(if you never played RAW).I like how they got the run feature in the RAW games.

Matches: 9/10

This game has alot of good matches. It has from a normal singles match to a 2vs2vs2 tornado TLC(first time in a wrestling game I might add). The matches are just plain amazing and solid. I would've like the elimination chamber though. I would've also have liked some backstage areas.

CAW: 10/10

This has got to be my favorite feature in the game. You can create just about anything. This is a real deep CAW. You can create legends easily. All the things necessary are in. I also like the custom soundtrack thing too. I cant wait to get my hands on my friends WWE Anthology CD.

Rent/Buy

Well what can I say: This is the best wrestling game out right now. Of course this is a buy. Actually scratch that. This is a MUST BUY! Go to the mall and get it. You won't be unsatisfied.

Final Thoughts

I hope that you have found this review useful. The season mode of the game is probably the greatest feature this game had (along with CAW). I just cant wait to hit my 400 word limit so that I can go and play RAW 2. Trust me this game is hot and if you don't get it then well, *Kurt Angles catch phrase* Peace
