How to Decide
WWE Raw 2 is best known for its large roster of authentic WWE superstars and split‑screen multiplayer, a staple for wrestling fans and action gamers. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: WWE '12 leans on its Breaking Point submission system and custom entrance videos; WWE '13 emphasizes Attitude Era story mode with live crowd audio and Predator‑technology grappling; WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 is chosen for its ECW‑era roster and Struggle Submission mechanics that add depth to grappling.
When weighing these titles, focus on (1) the era‑specific roster and presentation you want – Raw 2’s 2003 roster versus WWE '12’s contemporary list, WWE '13’s Attitude Era focus, or SmackDown vs. Raw 2008’s ECW legends; (2) the depth of the submission/grappling system – Raw 2’s basic AI, WWE '12’s Breaking Point, WWE '13’s Predator tech, or SmackDown vs. Raw 2008’s Struggle system; (3) the breadth of creation tools – Raw 2’s Create‑A‑Superstar, WWE '12’s custom entrances and arenas, WWE '13’s full Creation Suite, or SmackDown vs. Raw 2008’s limited customization; and (4) the multiplayer experience you need – Raw 2’s local split‑screen only, WWE '12’s split‑screen plus online, WWE '13’s robust online ranked play plus split‑screen, or SmackDown vs. Raw 2008’s split‑screen with platform‑specific quirks.
