WWF Raw
WWF Raw is a wrestling simulation game published by Acclaim Entertainment for the Sega Genesis, released in 1994. You control a wrestler, competing in matches against other wrestlers, with a focus on grappling, holds, and signature moves, using a simple control scheme that is accessible to players of all skill levels. The game is based on the World Wrestling Federation and the Monday Night RAW television show.
The gameplay involves using the D-pad and buttons to perform various attacks, grapples, and throws, with a variety of moves to choose from, including punches, kicks, suplexes, and special moves that are unique to each wrestler. A unique feature is the "RAW" license – the game features real WWF wrestlers from the RAW roster, including Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker, which was a major selling point at the time, allowing players to control their favorite stars. The game includes a tournament mode where you compete for the championship, and a two-player mode for head-to-head matches.
The graphics are colorful and detailed, with a top-down view of the ring and well-rendered wrestler sprites, and the backgrounds are varied and detailed. The music is upbeat and energetic, with a sports-style theme and catchy tunes. Critics praised the RAW license and the fun wrestling gameplay, making it a solid wrestling game for the Genesis.
WWF Raw is a fun and engaging wrestling game that offers a great competitive experience.
