The game itself is arcade-like and involves a 'tug-of-war' system in which, when the wrestlers lock-up, a meter appears above them and players must repeatedly press buttons to pull the energy away from the opponent's side to theirs.
Additionally, wrestlers differ in attributes of speed, strength, stamina, and weight. The game adds many moves not seen in the previous games, such as a DDT, a fallaway slam, and various types of suplexes. WWF RAW introduces differences between the characters in that they not only have their own signature moves, but differing move sets altogether (including new over-the-top 'mega moves').
Unlike its predecessor, WWF RAW is multitap compatible. Players can play either One-on-One, Tag Team, Bedlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, or a Raw Endurance Match. It is the sequel to the WWF Royal Rumble game that was released in 1993, and is the final part of LJN's 16-bit WWF trilogy. WWF Raw is a professional wrestling video game based on the television show of the same name produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), released for the SNES, 32X, Mega Drive/Genesis, and Game Boy in late 1994 and early 1995 by Acclaim Entertainment.
