While this can be considered one of the smaller rosters in the SVR series, it should still carry a lot of your favorites. This mode will have you bringing the pain on your opponent as you fight in all areas of the arena, even in the crowd. Keeping with game modes, you might notice that the Season and GM modes from previous years are missing.
However, this mode is quite repetitive and can lead to a pretty jarring story-telling experience. From fighting styles such as Brawler where you will fight mostly with fists, to the Showman — who you can excite the crowd and steal their opponents finishing move. These styles add both primary and secondary abilities that add a good bit of variety to the gameplay. While not considered the best by critics and fans, it still managed to introduce new ECW Superstars while giving fans some interesting new mechanics to play within the game.

Game review Downloads Screenshots Assaulted by the mire of wacky beeps and whizzes which accompany each selection, you'll be cnnging in your Y-fronts at the apparent craaayyyyzeeeeness of it all.
The match selections, single, tag, tornado tag, handicap, triple threat, fatal four-way, king of the ring and lesbo slap-up all of the above just with females , however, are far from limited, as is the excellent wrestler editor which allows you to create your own monstrosity to fight for your cause in the squared circle.
How we laughed. However, it's once the action kicks off that things really start to happen. Ring entrances are explosive, with each wrestler's strut to the ring recreated with spod-like attention to detail. Pyrotechnics pop, lights flash, music blares, people cheer and videos roll on the big arena screen, concocting a charged atmosphere of pure adrenaline-charged hype before the impending action. You can even rush your opponent as they enter the ring and pummel them with a variety of weapons, too.
Which is nice. The actual bouts are sheer en-tert-ain-ment. The beauty of this three-pronged victory meter means you really have to put some thought into what you're doing.
Repeat the same move over and over and the crowd will get bored of you. Fail to pace yourself, and you'll be beaten in minutes. Each wrestler has all their trademark moves accurately replicated, while fighting styles and tactics depend on their size and speed.
Mastering RAW takes a long time. Every move can be countered, but timing and knowledge of key combinations is essential if you want any chance of pulling this off. GeForce 4 cards can cause ridiculous motion blur which spoil the action somewhat, while the clipping leaves a great deal to be desired.
Al has the occasional suspect moment and wrestler collision detection is tenuous during some of the more acrobatic moments. Wrestling's come a long way since Kent Walton and his travelling band of theatrical fat-boys - better known as British wrestlers of the s - were booted off Saturday afternoon television way back in Who can forget the likes of the late Big Daddy, aka Shirley Crabtree that's a bloody girl's name - a pasty pound fat boy who looked like a giant baby?
Or Giant Haystacks, a pound fatter boy who defied doctors' prognoses and managed to walk without the aid of an industrial sized crane? Not to mention everyone's favourite hooded lard-arse, Kendo Nakasaki Special Gimmick - he wore a mask. They were athletes honed to physical imperfection, who lumbered around the ring on creaking knees pummelling their two-and-a-half stone opponents into feigned submission.
Usually by jumping on them. Or falling over from exhaustion on them. Basically, they were rubbish. Today, the razzmatazz of the WWF - now renamed to the WWE due to the mewling of a bunch of tree hugging animal lovers - is a world away from the granny-baiting days of English pro-wrestling's murky past, and come November, you'll be able to experience these grappling thrills first hand on your PC with WWE RAW. After years of casting jealous glances at console owners, WWE RAW will finally give us PC owners the chance to take control of our fave WWE superstars, or depending on your views on pro-wrestling, a bunch of oiled-up nancy boys who prance around grabbing their opponents between the legs and burying their faces in each other's crotches.
Your choice will be far from limited, with 35 wrestlers at your disposal, each with superbly recreated ring-entrances, and mannerisms copied in the minutest detail. Which means you'll see William Regal mincing down the ramp and Triple-H spitting water around the arena, leaving greasy puddles just waiting for some burger-munching redneck opportunist to purposefully slip over on, graze their ear and sue the company for several million dollars.
THQ claims that the intuitive consolelike control system will make RAW incredibly easy to pick up for even the most average of Joes, while gamepadadept above average Floes should be pulling off stunning combination moves within a matter of minutes. But as ever, the proof is in the playing. Getting hold of some code, however, was far from easy, and involved a near-fatal tag-team match involving two of THQ's finest, Ian Vincible aka Terence the janitor and The Stoat a work experience kid called Oscar.
Lining up against them were the awesome powers Dave The Oak' Woods, who claims to weigh a staggering pounds personally I think he's trying to squeeze a couple of pounds in on us and Chris Skeletor' Anderson 18 pounds, 12 ounces. Fortunately they won and walked away with the code, although it was looking pretty ropey there for a while when Dave nearly tapped out when Oscar administered an agonising Chinese Burn on him. Had the boys played this first though, they probably would have done a lot better, as each of the 35 WWE superstars featured have a full repertoire of locks, throws and superb counter-attacks, which make the action far more strategic than your average joypad-pummelling beat 'em up.
Better still, every single character's Finishing Move' is also here, ranging from Kane's throat-tearing Choke-Slam to Triple-H's while you're down there, love' Pedigree. The attention to detail is excellent. Grapplers roll round on the canvas in agony and pose to the crowd when they're winning. There's also some great TV-style presentation and a variety of camera angles and replays. We weren't disappointed with the number of match options either, with anything from singles matches to Royal Rumble tournaments available.
