  1. It is just the "Total Package" (yeah I know, I am embarrassed of myself for that one), combining great gameplay with fantastic visuals to create one of the finest sports game ever.

    The hardcore fans will get plenty of enjoyment out of the difficult AI, the awesome multiplayer modes and the super deep Create-A-Wrestler mode.
  3. The fun factor in this game is through the roof.
  4. From the time you start playing to the point where you stop, you feel like your watching a match on TV. The lack of match types and gameplay modes does hurt the game some, but Raw's outstanding gameplay and graphics more then make up for that.
  5. Gameplay can frustrate some, but for all that spend the time to learn the nuances and to learn the feel of the game will not be disappointed.

    Features terrific graphics, sound, and a presentation that does what WWF fans really want a game to do -- recreate the whole experience in their living room!
  7. Just when you want to like a wrestling game, and there are a lot of things to like about WWF Raw, the cheap AI makes the game difficult and frustrating to play.
  8. WWF fans will go ape with RAW, the whole wrestling experience has never been so faithfully recreated and there’s a wide selection of wrestlers to choose from plus the extensive Create-A-Wrestler mode to play with.
  9. Graphically, this is a remarkable program...The action can be very unrealistic, just in terms of physical reality, and that is a major drawback.

    Lack of modes and match types. Abysmal gameplay. Awkward animations. CAW sucks. A few positives are that I do like the museum and how you canLack of modes and match types. Abysmal gameplay. Awkward animations. CAW sucks. A few positives are that I do like the museum and how you can view someone's Titantron and music. It's kind of fun to see the A.I. duke it out. Not much else to point out. Disappointing. Soundtrack: 7/10

    It's awful but I loved it as a kid. The roster is pretty good. Graphics are okay.
