Post all of your Raw information and questions in here. And, is it true that Fred Durst is on the game or is it just some kind of rumour?

**fear_this** · 02-11-2002

Is there a hell in the cell? I know almost nothing about this game. Can someone give a list of a bunch of stuff and types of matches for Raw? I can't seem to find shyt.

**fear_this** · 02-11-2002

Maybe......

Hey guys, I was just checking out the review of RAW on Gamespot's website. For the most part, this is what it had to say:
Graphics = good although the wrestlers seem to walk like RoboCop, and Triple H doesn't resemble his true life counterpart all that well, entrances were good
Gameplay = Terrible AI, NO blood, NO backstage areas, NO multiple arenas, NO tag team title match, NO wrestling in the crowd NO Royal Rumble (as far as i could tell), NO special matches, very difficult to pull off sig move...but they did say the top rope moves looked good, there were a lot of weapons to choose from, and you could wear/knock off a lot of things.
Overall = 6.5/10
They said that the game seemed to be rushed and fell short of it's potential.
Personally, i'm a bit ticked off due to the things that they said were gonna be in the game but were left out (blood, wrestling in crowd, multiple arenas...). I hope that maybe the hype around the game led to this low score since i already have it pre-ordered.

Gamespots reviews suck!

**AvedisZ** · 02-12-2002

Well, either GameSpot is full of BS or it's THQ. On the back of the box it says all kinds of stuff about backstage areas. The Box also says you CAN wrestle in the crowd and their are table matches. WTF???? GameSpot or THQ is gonna get a nasty e-mail from me.

**X-Factor** · 02-12-2002

fear_this-- I believe I already made an "Official WWF Raw Thread" over in the fighting game section.

**studepaber** · 02-12-2002

The PS2'ers at Gamespot doesn't know a good game if it bit them in the asss. Besides Halo they gave VERY poor reviews of good xbox games. Their main gripe seemed to be with the lack of story modes in the game and a few other minor details. I donno about all you guys, but I play wrestling games with 3 people usually and I could give a rat's arse about the story mode. Also the lack of blood disturbed me though, but THQ were asked to make the game a teen rating, errrrrrrrrr there is a blood option ya know and parents can fix their xbox up not to play mature rated games. oh well, I'm still VERY hyped about the best wrestling game ever coming out tomorrow, it's gonna be sshhhhweeeeeet.

:o

Hi there,
I have briefly reviewed the WWF RAW offical strategy guide from Prima and here are some information that wonders in your mind:

1. No blood!
2. No cage, no hell in a cell, nothing like those type of matches.
3. Chyna was removed from the game, some sites offically said she was kept in and they are wrong.
4. 4 hidden wrestlers in the game:
-Vince McMahon
-Shane McMahon
-Stephanie McMahon
-Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit)
*To unlock these people, you have to win the titles, such as WWF, hardcore, IC and so forth.
5. No tag team titles exist in the game

I hope this was informative to many of you that read this...thanks for reading and enjoy the game tomorrow

Listen get a hold of yourself. Where have you been? No blood has been out for a while, to maintain a teen rating as per WWF's wishes. Second theres a tag match, just no tag team belts to win. The reason why it was delayed was to remove the blood, and polish up the game on some of the graphics and gameplay.

IGN gave this game a 9.1, and thats the highest they have ever rated any wrestling game.Thats pretty good since ign really arent fans of wrestling games.Gamespot is notoriously biased and retarded. These are the same people who said "10" for tony hawk 3...lol

MasterChiefFozz · 02-13-2002

I get the game tonight and i'm pumped ....but all this talk worries me. Is the mere imperfection of no blood a reason to slag a game the is graphically advanced??? Well...what is the gameplay like as far as ladders and tables and chairs....Do weapons bend on ones head.... I mean honestly ...you can stop someones entrance with a sharp knee to the face. Where else can you do that??? ........will legends of wrestiling beat it i'll be the judge!

**BJDIrish1** · 02-13-2002

Well, I got the game last night and played it for about 3 hours or so with some friends. There are no backstage areas or anything but their are about 50 or so various weapons or things to wear or beat on your opponent with including tables and ladders....although i was unable to send anyone through a table yet...i'm pretty sure that it can be done. Chairs do bend and eventually break in 2 if used a lot (it's pretty funny to see your guy walking around with just a chair frame), brooms break into 2 pieces and can then be used like drumsticks which is sweet, there are weapons available in every match...hardcore or not . The entrances look sweet and the graphics are great although it does look as if half the guys just got off a horse when they walk down the ramp. The gameplay is good but it is pretty difficult to pull off your signature move and if playing against someone good, it can be a bit of a pain trying to pull off a grappling move (a lot of tie-ups and push aways). The computer controlled players seemed to beat on me a lot. There are roads to all the titles except for Tag Team (there's still a tag team match). Overall, WWF RAW is definitely better than those X-Box haters over at Gamespot rated it...i'd have to give it about a 8.5 out of 10. Wrestling fans gotta have this game.

MasterChiefFozz · 02-13-2002

How exactly is the finisher pulled off?? Can you still go into th crowds??

**BJDIrish1** · 02-13-2002

The finisher is pulled off by hitting A+B at the same time while the voltage meter is flashing for you and your opponent is groggy (kinda complicated at first but after playing for a lil bit today, i got the hang of it).
I haven't been able to go into the crowds, i don't think that you can.
Another thing i just realized was that there is no commentary during the match...i swear they said that was gonna be in the game.

**Jon27** · 02-13-2002

yeah they said it, they are a bunch of BSers

this game was a real step back in the evolution of wrestling games, No mercy was the start of something sweet, then they scraped the developer and went back to the basics, oh well this is the new start of something sweet and the next game sould be totally killer, unless anchor screws us again. another **** off is you cant rip your own music into the game.

ps gamespot gives the best reviews ign is for little kiddies

6.5 is still a fair score and this is indeed just a fair game

**xtr0n187** · 02-13-2002

All i got to say to anyone who thinks this is "just a fair game"..
PLAY IT FIRST! I just played this game at my friends house today, and lemme tell ya, i was blown away....sdjbi may have more modes but its lacking in the gameplay.The gameplay on RAW is amazing.It is a game like UFC, in where it will take you a long time to master. The matches arent breezethrough like AKI THQ games.This game i give it after playing it a 8.9....gamepsot was smoking some crack or something with thier review. Also to anyone who keeps looking for things that arent in the game, just play it for what it does have to offer and youll never be disappointed.

**Marc** · 02-14-2002

This game sucks. I've been playing it for three hours tryin to get the hang of it. Finishers are too ****in hard to pull off and you can get pinned at any time, even if you mash the **** out of all the buttons. This game looks great, but plays like *****.

**Spaztic** · 02-14-2002

I felt this way about the game as well, untill I started to get the control scheme down. I can usually pull a special every match and I can win most of the time. I feel this game has a high learning curve. Marc don't give up on it yet! I didn't like it at first either but now I think its gameplay is more realistic and fun then no mercy!.....still haven't been able to put someone though a table though?! IF anyone has let me know!
