Introduction:The Xbox finally gets a wrestling game to compete with Smackdown wrestling empire on the PS2. This exclusive wrestling action will have allot of gamers wondering why THQ didn't get Yukes for this outting into the world of wrestling.

The Game:WWE RAW.... Hmm now i am torn on this one. I am a wrestling fan so i was looking forward to this game. Even though i knew it wasn't very good i purchased it anyway, just to get my wrestling fix. This is the only WWE video game on the Xbox at the moment. If you can resist until Raw2 comes out in 2003' you will thank me later.

The game is a great foundation for a good wrestling title, but overall it seems like an unfinished build of something that will be better. K-Kwik is in the roster, if that doesn't say it i don't know what will. The graphics and sound are decent, but they half finished some wrestlers models. I am surprised HHH doesn't go down to the studio and lay the smack down on the artist who worked on his face. Enough about Raw, I am getting sick!

No go RAW! Hope you're better in match 2.
