'''''WWE Raw 2
==Gameplay==
Line 22:
In [[Character creation|Create a Superstar]] mode, users have the ability to choose their character's alignment type and whether he or she is to be a face or heel. The alignments determine who the character's friends and enemies are in the career mode.
''Raw 2'' also allows players to edit WWE's wrestlers into the way they want them to look similar to the N64 games ''[[WWF WrestleMania 2000 (video game)|WWF WrestleMania 2000]]'' and ''[[WWF No Mercy (video game)|WWF No Mercy]]''. In season mode, alignment cannot be changed, but players can change who likes or dislikes their wrestler through various options. Changing between face and heel can also be done through the options.
The game features several arenas that WWE held events in during 2002 and 2003. There are also arenas based upon each WWE television show.
New match stipulations are included in the game: [[Hell in a Cell]], [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match|TLC]] and [[Royal Rumble]] matches are available in ''Raw 2''. The Create an Entrance feature allows the player to use custom music tracks that have been ripped onto their Xbox's [[Hard disk drive|hard disk]] (although this feature is inaccessible when playing the game on the [[Xbox 360]]), synchronize two sets of [[pyrotechnics]] with taunts or poses, and create an entrance video featuring the player's character performing various wrestling moves. Upon its release, the game was praised for an improved and more current roster. A select few of these abilities returned for ''[[WWE '12]]'' and ''[[WWE '13|'13]]''.
The game also features [[WWE Raw|''Raw'']] and [[WWE Smackdown|''SmackDown'']] referees in the game that the player can choose.
===Rules===
If the player is competing in a title match, the belt can be won via disqualification, going against the usual WWE rules. This means that if two superstars are competing for a championship and somebody interferes and causes a disqualification, the winner will become the champion. Divas are able to win heavyweight titles. This is a reflection of WWE programming in that [[Stephanie McMahon]] competed for the [[WWE Championship|Undisputed WWF Championship]] in a triple threat match on ''Raw'' in 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pwwew.net/tv/raw/020325.htm |title=Raw is War |publisher=pWw--Everything Wrestling |date=March 25, 2002 |access-date=March 2, 2008 |archive-date=March 15, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080315172116/http://www.pwwew.net/tv/raw/020325.htm |url-status=live}}</ref> In the Royal Rumble Match, the rule that a wrestler can exit the ring on their own terms and still not be eliminated, as was seen numerous times in the [[Royal Rumble (2003)|2003 event]], is recognised in the game. However, under rules that the Royal Rumble is over-the-top-rope, this would only be legal as long as they do not flip over, jump over or step over the top rope. The player would be eliminated if they stayed outside the ring for too long
