Wrestling games have slowly taken the world by storm. Creating as big a fan following as any hardcore fighter in the business, the tight-wearing toughmen of the WWF have invaded our video game collections just as powerfully as they have our Monday nights. Love them (No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000) or hate them (Royal Rumble), THQ and its brand of wrestling know-how are here to stay.
That said, Xbox fans will be happy to learn that THQ’s first attempt at Microsoft goodness will follow the more wrestling-faithful path of its Nintendo 64 brethren in the form of Raw. Heavy on the simulation and light in the arcade department, RAW is drawing some heavy attention from Wrestling fans that are always looking for the next level in both graphics, gameplay, and WWF style entertainment experience.
