    The worst wrestling game ever. IGN's rating is embarrassing.

    It's fun but it lacks a lot of good stuff that are in Smackdown, but graphics are good.

    Before this game had blood in it than they remove it. I would give this game a perfect score if they had the blood.

    What can i say, I spent some very competitive months on PS2's Smackdown. WWF Raw is somewhat of a letdown, the 2 player is the problem but otherwise a decent game with good graphics... 18yrs wrestling fan...

    A great game with detailed graphics and the gameplay is great but hard to get used to.

    This Game is really cool in every thing but i rated it an 8 because it needs more options but the game has everything a wwe true fan wants.

    This game is a dog. 1 arena no good matches and they put in stupid wrestlers like justin creditable and left out important ones like Brock Lesnar. O yeah and the game play sucks!

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

    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 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
    Gameplay: 3/10
    Roster: 7/10

  1. The overall lack of supplementary features isn't a major drawback, however, since what's important to a modern wrestling game, aside from the graphics, is solid multiplayer action and challenging CPU AI. Disappointingly, these areas don't fare much better.
  2. I think the X-box magic is starting to wear off.

    It captures the electricity of the sport and is quite amazing graphically, but it's low in the substance department, and not quite as endearing...The only source of enjoyment was collecting the obscure items and weapons. [Mar 2002, p.84]
