  1. This game touts one of the most expansive “create a superstar” modes I’ve seen yet. You can easily spend hours just making a character exactly what you want him, her or it to be.
  2. By far the biggest problem with Raw 2 is the audio. The menu music is solid, but everything else is horrendous.
  3. Its engine has nothing on "WrestleMania." I'd inch last year's "SmackDown" ahead of this game, too. Raw 2 is like a hardcore match: thrilling but sloppy. [Nov 2003, p.162]
  4. Problems from the first Raw carry over - matches plod on too long, and animations look unrealistic and robotic. Even diehard WWE fans should treat this as a rental. [Dec 2003, p.224]

    This game is one of the best to come out of wwe gaming....smackdown hctp may have more match types and a couple of more superstars, but the caw sux for that game....this is one hell of a buy and a large step away from the first and most horrifying raw 1 version.... Expand

    This game has it's ups and downs, the ups are the graphics and the create-a-superstar. The downs are that there is no new matches like where the f**k is the elimination chamber match and why do the camera angles suck so bad. I would rather play WWE smackdown shut your mouth! Expand

    This game's really good, the 4 player season really stands out and its fun. The down part is the a.i but other then that the game rules, import your own music! Expand
