iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 I played it this afternoon. It's fun, but it still feels like an updated Raw. The carrer mode is pretty sweet, even though I hate how during the angles and talking on the mic, they have no text boxes to hear what they say like in No Mercy. Entrances are pretty cool, too.

Jesse Badass 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 I just got Raw 2 at Best-Buy. IGN don't know how to rate. The game play is the same as RAW 1. The only good thing they have going right now are the entrances so far. They don't have moves in the game. I haven’t started the season mode yet. If the season mode is shitty then I don't know what to say. One good thing they have is that you can edit wrestlers entrances. you can change their entrance music to your own music from the hard drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karnage 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Someone should put up a bunch of CAWs with good quality MP3s to download and burn. But watch out, some CD-Rs can't be read on XBOX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karnage 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Will an Xbox play, and allow you to put songs onto the hard drive, from CD-Rs or CD-RWs? CD-RWS will work. With CD-Rs, it depends on the brand. I posted a list of which ones work a while ago in another thread so search if you need it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 There was a set up to play it at my local gamestop...and I couldn't figure out the control to save my life. I was just flopping all over the ring. Looks pretty as all hell...I'm going to go back and try it out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Bacchus 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 As an owner of RAW 1, RAW 2 was a pleasant surprise. My only gripe is that even on easy the AI is hard. Nothing beats creating your own feud and storylines. The CAW is also incredibly easy to use and has custom soundtracks. You can't beat that with a stick.

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted September 18, 2003 For those who have the game, can somebody please tell me how to win the ladder match??? I've been trying to figure it out for an hour now. I climb up the ladder, I can see the belt up there but I can't get the wrestler to go all the way up, he just stops and if I push a button he tries to jump off with an attack. You'd think the instructions would tell you how to do this stuff but I guess they don't know either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd think the instructions would tell you how to do this stuff but I guess they don't know either. Black button jumps off the small ladder towards the belt or if you're on the enormous ladder it makes you reach for it. Once you're hanging on it you have to rotate the joystick and press all 4 face buttons until you grab it. My entrance is so sweet in this. Perfectly times pyro to "Can't stop" by the Chili Peppers.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2003 I was just told that there are no unlockable wrestlers at all. The only unlockables are... 128 Headless player models that are useless since you can edit the in game guys. 64 full screen titantrons caw points earned through kotr, winning belts, watching matches, fighting in exibition. credits ...so that brings me to this question. Just what in the hell is the reason to play the career over and over again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted September 19, 2003 Am I the only one who thinks the CAW sucks? The entrance part, that's great, being able to use my own music is fantastic. Could be better (I'd like to be able to time when my wrestler walks out to cue up with the music I use) but it's pretty damn cool as is. But the actual create the wrestler part is almost on par with the old Akklaim one from PS1. With most CAWs up until now I'm usually able to make a character look pretty much like myself. With this I can't do it at all. There's just nowhere near enough choices. You got like 50 face choices and they all exactly the same. Hair choices are very limited as well. And clothes is the worst. It's next to impossible to put together even something as simple as shirt and pants and not have it look stupid and gay. There's like 3 pages of SUITS. What wrestler wears a suit to the ring? I wish there was a way to put your own writing on the shirts and stuff. I mean, really, why would you create a wrestler and then have him wear some other wrestler's t-shirt? What pissed me off the most is how they put in a bunch of names to have the announcer say but they didn't put my name in there. Jason. Jason, that's a pretty friggin popular name to leave out. It's not like my name is Torres or something. Oh wait....Torres is IN THE GAME. So I can make Bon Jovi's friggin drummer and his name is in the game, but not Jason. They could have at least put Sun in there so I could've used Jay Sun, but no. Not even that. Give a dog a bone, THQ. Maybe I can unlock "Jason" or something. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
