WWE Aftershock vs WWE Raw 2

WWE Aftershock brings the excitement of professional wrestling to the N‑Gage handheld. Players can choose from a small selection of WWE superstars and compete in single‑player and multiplayer matches. The game was poorly received due to its limited character roster and lengthy loading times, but it still offers basic wrestling moves and a T‑rated experience for teen players.

Play across eight detailed arenas with 3D crowds and special effects that bring the WWE experience to life.
