  • In the long and storied history of video games based on professional wrestling, we’ve got a little bit of everything spread across the all time tier list. Titles like 2003’s WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain on the PlayStation 2 or 2000’s WWF No Mercy on the Nintendo 64 can be slotted anywhere around the very top, I mean, that’s where you’d put them if you have a brain in your head. Today, for the first time ever, Triangle X Squared O crosses the line into Microsoft territory with the very first wrestling game ever released on the XBOX, WWF RAW. Does this 2002 title find itself near the top with the No Mercy’s of the world? There’s only one way to find out.
    (Season 3, Episode 3)

    Between Triangle X Squared O, SCREAM SEQUENCE and the upcoming History of UFC Video Games (premiering 6/16/2023), this year I'm creating more in depth retrospectives than ever before. It's a ton more work, I'm still a one man crew, and I could really use your support on Patreon. If you like this content and you've got $2 to spare, $5, $10 or however much you want to pledge, it'd make a huge difference. I try not to be annoying about it, but I NEED TO GROW THIS THING to keep doing this, hahahaha. I don't take sponsors and I don't try and push Express VPN or Raid Show Trash on you. I'm sure that pays well, though. So maybe I should. Hahahaha.

    I can concur wit hthe entrance customization of RAW. I made a character to the song the Philosopher by Death for my custom character, and to this day I feel that it is the best entrance I have ever made for the game. The red lihging, pyro that started right as the main riff of the song kicked in with a fog effect, I still think about it each time I go and create an entrance in any other wrestling game.

    I remember Fred Durst playing this game as himself in a music video. That's the only memory I think about when WWF RAW comes up. I played it once and forgot about it. RAW 2 was much better.
    You did the best possible job covering this game. It was so minimal. They nailed the entrances and putting on a different hat thing, I wish more stuff like that was in current games. Create an Entrance on the Xbox RAW games was really incredible for the time. The amount of customization was inspired, not to mention you could add your own entrance music by burning a CD and adding them to the Xbox hard drive (you can do that in RAW 2, not sure about this one).
    This was an exciting time to be a wrestling video game fan. Three new consoles, 3 different WWE games for each all doing they're own thing. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on RAW 2.
    Unrelated, how excited are your for Wrestlequest on the Switch later this year?

    Oh boy I was looking forward to this, this game was the WCW Mayhem of us early 2000s wrestling gamers but regardless the problems it had, me and my cousins would always fire this up on my dad's laptop (since both XBOX and PlayStation 2 were so beefy back then to be able to carry them around whereever we wanted, and also needed a TV to play them on, my dad's laptop was the best choice in these situation's for a quick play) whenever we would go for a short trip or something and we Loved it! Now that I've bring back my Xbox from the dead to play this long lost friend, I'm baffled at how we used to play it without raging at the screen, it just does not hold up anymore unfortunately.
    P.S: Ian just wanted to mention that if your Xbox is modded, make sure you update your Wrestlemania 21 since that game is filled with game breaking bugs and glitches without it.

I had only an Xbox for a long time but never had Raw 1 but I had Raw 2 and loved it even though I didn't know how to play cus I was so young. Then the disk was found broken probably got stepped on idk and I was upset. So for Christmas that year we got WrestleMania 21 😑. Yeah not a good a replacement but it was the only WWE game we've had until I got a GameCube so I played the crap out of it. So many memories!

    Man, I feel so bad for this game, Anchor Inc., and all the Xbox kids growing up. This one had SO much potential and could’ve been an amazing game, as this was the Attitude Era for God’s sakes, but with the lack of gimmick matches, lack of modes, lack of anything special, it boggles my mind thinking, “How the hell was this released in the first place?”. This could’ve been better or on par with SmackDown 2 or No Mercy, but with what we got, it truly was a let down. But the details tho that they did add, I’ll give major points to. Regardless tho, I hope to try this trilogy one day tho, as my twin cousins had an Xbox growing up, and they loved this trilogy, regardless of their flaws, with Raw 2 being their favorite, and one day, they want to relive the nostalgia. One day, one day. Thanks for another fun video, Ian, and I can’t wait for you to cover the rest of this trilogy. Love you and all the DanDans, and I’ll see you next time.😊❤️

    My bother had the Xbox at this time and we were big wrestling game fans at the time...I had the PS1 and PS2 with the Smackdown series, and he had the N64 prior with all the legends there so this was a no brainer to play when it came out and we just....laughed. We couldn't stop giggling playing this game at how atrocious everything was. You gave a lot of positives to the presentation, but I still remember something we laughed at was how they walked in this game, it still looks weird to me. I put it down pretty quick, I think he played it a lot more than I did...but yeah this wasn't something I stuck too for very long.

    I actually had this one on PC, before i was able to play the other better ones on PS2 as they weren't as easy to find in stores where I lived.
    Despite beign absurdly basic, so were many other games back then so it didnt feel so crap .. i had hours upon hours of fun, being it from making my own wrestlers. making real wrestlers that were not in the game , Messing with entrances, creating 2d characters with how absurdly flexible the CAW was.
    And then, the collect a thon aspeck with items across matches was a cool thing to have and compare with your friends that had found different things.

    Great review for anyone unfamiliar with that era. I only played the XBox version with friends as I was always a Playstation guy but much like you I got a $5 copy for the PC. Unlike you however I had no issue getting a PC controller to work with the game & had no major input delay. Might have been a hardware issue? This game is gorgeous, I'm still waiting for another wrestling game to allow you to put on hats/glasses during a match! Attacking a guy like Rikishi during his entrance & putting on his glasses was so innovative

    HHH wasn't the only character in that game that got shafted face-wise. Chris Benoit did as well. I thought I had heard/read somewhere that could have been Road Dogg's face on HHH.
    Also, I forget which title it was but Fred Durst was unlockable like he was on SD: Just Bring It.
    I spent more time messing around in Create a Wrestler mode than I did trying to figure out how not to get my butt kicked every single match.

    Great video as usual! Looking forward to the next two games from the "WWE XBox Trilogy" of exclusive wrestling games.
    I played this back when it came out and yea, it was not bad and the presentation was there. But it was just really shallow compared to the other wrestling games back in that era. Makes me wish Yuke's made games for XBox so they could have either ported over the Smackdown games or make it's own series like they did on Gamecube. But I theorize that because the XBox was such a huge flop in Japan that they didn't bother developing for it. That was before the XBox360 era of course.

    I remember flipping through Electronic Gaming Monthly in the summer of 2001, eagerly anticipating the release of the Gamecube. However, in that issue there were the first screenshots of WWF RAW on Xbox and i flipped out at how good it looked, I mean it still looks pretty damn good 22 years later. Now I still decided to go Gamecube at launch and I still think that was the way better choice, but RAW was still something I had to play as a big wrestling fan. I remember doing a PS2/XBox swap with my neighbor for a month and the first game I went to go rent was RAW. It was a terrible game that looked amazing. The only great memory I have of playing the game is with my friend Curtis, all night, after creating a stupid looking middle aged version of Fat Albert and attempting to win the WWF title. For some reason that hilarity sticks with me, and these clips of the game brought it flooding back.

    I cannot wait for you to get to RAW 2. I logged over 1000 hours just in the CAS alone. And the level of customization in the entrances is going to blow your fucking mind. Combined with custom soundtracks - nothing has compared since.

      The customization is a high point indeed. The game itself, to me, isn't as amazing as some of these comments make it out to be. But we'll get there, we'll get there.
