ultimate WWF game for the Super NES February 1, 2004

I think WWF Raw is the best wrestling game released on the Super NES. I love the way the game works: when you are in a grapple with your opponent you press all the buttons as quickly as you can, to try and deliver a move! It's incredibly fun but if you consider yourself to be someone not fast on the controller you WILL find this to be a difficult task.
Unfortunately, you pretty much HAVE to grapple your opponent (by standing next to them and hitting the X button) because simply punching and kicking them for an entire match won't get the job done. In fact, many times the second you punch or kick your opponent, they want to put you in a grappling hold, forcing you to quickly press all the buttons to either deliver a move, or break free.
WWF Raw is such a good game, though. It's also much better than the previous game (WWF Royal Rumble) in every single way. Now, not only do you have finishing moves, you also have SUPER moves (moves that would be impossible to perform in real-life). To give you an example of a SUPER move: Bret Hart spins around a bunch of times off a turnbuckle before landing on your opponent, or the 1-2-3 Kid bouncing back and forth on the top two turnbuckles. Or how about Bam Bam Bigelow turning into Superman and VERY quickly charging across the ring? That's just a few of the incredible SUPER moves you will see in this game. Of course you also have finishing moves for each wrestler, such as Bret Hart and Owen Hart's Sharpshooter, Razor Ramon's Razor's Edge and the Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver, to name a few. Please note that neither SUPER or finishing moves are required to defeat your opponent. You don't have to perform them.
Let's not forget about all the REGULAR moves that have been added. There weren't NEARLY this many in WWF Royal Rumble. Any one of the buttons on the Super NES controller in a grappling hold will deliver a different move. That's awesome.
This game has really exciting options. There's a lot of them to choose from, also. The Royal Rumble option is still my very favorite feature (where you have 6 wrestlers in the ring at once, and the object is to throw all of them over the top rope and to the outside of the ring, until ONE man is left standing- this is VERY fun, and yes, it's exactly the same as the Royal Rumble option in the previous game).
The Tag-Team and Bedlam touraments will always remain *extremely* awesome because there's a bunch of ways you and your partner can defeat your opponents. You can pin them, you can count them out of the ring, you can tag your partner so HE can deliver the pinfall, and many more ways.
The music is always diverse and interesting, and in some cases, very close to the way it sounds in a real WWF arena (WWE, today) such as Bam Bam Bigelow, Razor Ramon, and Owen Hart's theme.
You also couldn't ask for a better selection of wrestlers. You have your tall, tough guys like the Undertaker and Diesel, the overweight guys (Bam Bam Bigelow and Yoko Zuna) the technical wrestlers (Bret Hart and Owen Hart) and the funny goofy wrestlers, such as Doink and Lex Luger. I don't know what category you'd place Shawn Michaels, possibly the best wrestler in the game.
This game has it all, and it's a shame they don't make wrestling games like this anymore. Today, wrestling games are all about realism, which means the market is flooded with games that are all basically the same thing, only with minor updates with each release. A waste of money THOSE games are.
I could keep talking about WWF Raw on the Super NES forever. The fun I have smacking my opponents head with a bucket or chair, the surprise of facing someone one-on-one and having someone come out in the middle of the match to interfere (forcing me to face TWO wrestlers), the fun of running into/punching the referee, throwing my opponent into the turnbuckle and repeatedly running into them, throwing my opponent out of the ring and repeatedly into the gate on the left and right side of the ring (or the side of the ring itself!). Man, so much fun. BUY THIS GAME NOW!
 Raw is War is great September 13, 2003
Attacking the refs is always fun and many of the modern games shy away from that. I also like the notion that you can come back from a four on one notion in the Survivor Series. I mean this game has music, weapons, various levels of play, and the list continues. This game combines Earlier SNES games like Survivor Series and Royal Rumble and adds the jazz of Raw features like Raw endurance to make this a great game in my eyes. Each wrestler has its own special holds, and the matches are generally quick paced. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the price. Get the game but for a better price.

Back in the day, I use to play this game a lot. and I mean a LOT! In it's time, it had great graphics, great options, and was the type of wrestling game you could really let your mind run wild with, which is what I look for in wrestling games. Every year, 1 wrestling game catches my eye and I'll play it all year till the next great game comes out. When RAW came out for the Super NES, it is the game I played all that year.For the above reason alone, I would have given this game 5 stars. However, I took off 2 stars for Amazon's price. (...) $25 would be expensive for a game that old. Heck, even the NEW WWF RAW for X-Box is [less]. So, I would shop around before buying this game here.
