Overview
Description

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.

WWE Raw 2 delivers enhanced graphics, realistic AI, and a story mode that puts you in the middle of the action. Play across eight detailed arenas with 3D crowds and special effects that bring the WWE experience to life. Choose from a variety of match types including Hell in a Cell, TLC, Royal Rumble, and King of the Ring, and create your own superstar to dominate the season mode. Split‑screen multiplayer lets you battle friends in classic exhibition or season challenges.
