The Official TNA Impact thread.

[KingofOldSchool]

Have they ever had an one on one Ultimate X match?

[D Mac]

Looks pretty good to me.

[Kenny]

Have they ever had an one on one Ultimate X match?

Not to my knowledge.

[Mister Sinister]

Alex Shelley's in. I'm sold

WHAT HE SAID

[Gonzo]

Eh, looks alright.

[Indifferent Clox]

They have had one on one ultimate x matches back in the day. AJ styles v. Amazing Red was one if I'm not mistaken.

[The Mackem]

I hate wrestling games where it looks like there's an invisible wrestler that the guys are trying to nail with punches and the like.

It looks ok

[Purgatory]

It doesn't look too bad. Hopefull, it doesn't turn out like Legends Of Wrestling did.

[Damian Rey]

I don't know...It looks pretty good to me. There wasn't a damn cut scene after Jareet pinned Angle in the 2nd video..which is a plus. Also, the gameplay and animations seem to be drastically smoother than that of SmackDown! vs Raw. I can see myself picking this one up.

[TerranRich]

I don't know...it looks pretty good to me. I like how Damian Rey double posted, but both of his posts were slightly different. I can see myself picking this game up.

[Gonzo]

The grunting from Angle in the last video is lol. What the hell is that?

[Damian Rey]

I don't know...it looks pretty good to me. I like how Damian Rey double posted, but both of his posts were slightly different. I can see myself picking this game up.

I know...I made one post and it delayed...so I thought it didn't go through, so I retyped the post. I feel a little dumb...:-\

[Disturbed316]

I've noticed alot of the finishers they have shown they automatically go into a pin. I hope this isn't the standard thing.

[Heros Welcome]

Love that CopKilla

[D Mac]

I'm making Eric Young TNA World Champ. :)

[Kenny]

If you want to see some new vids head over to YouTube and looked up "TNA Impact Game." Then sort by "date added."

So far the best moment for me was seeing Hernandez give Black Machismo the Border Toss. He tossed him clean out of the ring. Hopefully there will be breakable tables in the game.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

It looks alot less 'stiff' than the smackdown series. And moves look alot more fluid. Just like Disturbed said though, I hope that all the finishers don't go right into pins. That would be annoying

[D Mac]

Hope we get a demo of this.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

There is a video of this up on XBL now, at the end it says 'September 08'. Which gives us a few wrestling games to look forward to(TNA in Sept, SVR in Nov, and Wrestlemania in March) Hopefully they won't all suck.

[D Mac]

So it's been delayed again. :n:

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, the delay was announced ages ago.

[Destor]

Did someone call for a banhammer?

This game is not worth my money, i know yall love a shift in wrestling games now but seriously they took out a bunch of shit, fuck you TNA i'm used to blood in matchs now and hell i heard Don Wests voice, not buying this shit, however SVR this year has create a finisher so i'm fucking happy about that

Well, good luck with your shitted up SVR where they continually take away even the most trivial stuff. Ooo, create a move, yeah, THAT's going to save it. :roll:

Not saying Impact will be better (it won't be, I'm confident it will be shit in fact) but SvR is terrible and has been for a while now.

[Destor]

It's times like this that I must say: Fire Pro.

[Xero]

That goes without saying, though.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather have literally hundreds of moves, most of which not in SvR, and a very deep yet simple customization system, than be able to add a taunt onto a move or string two moves together, or take three hours to make a half-assed appearance when it takes less than 10 (usually) to get a great looking CAW.

[The Mackem]

It's looking better. Watched it with no sound though.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Looks exactly as bad as it did months ago when Joe and Christian ripped the piss out of it.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

It looks like A sped up smackdown....

[Disturbed316]

Looking ok, glad to see finishers dont go straight into pins like they did in earlier videos.

[Disturbed316]

So has anything been said about match types, other than the Ultimate X?

[KingofOldSchool]

So has anything been said about match types, other than the Ultimate X?

Not really other match types. There were rumors of KoTM, but they turned up to be untrue. No Six Sides of Steel either.

So let's get this sorted...

Only CAW's in Season
Small roster
Very little match types
No brawling outside of the ring area
No custom soundtracks
Probably no alternate attires either
Oh and Mike Tenay as a playable character

[Disturbed316]

IGN are doing a countdown of the wrestlers. They are calling them TNA Listers and so far Christian and Tomko are up and to be honest, it doesn't look that bad.

[KingofOldSchool]

Shark Boy as been confirmed as a secret character.

Also in a trailer you see a person at the entrance ramp who resembles Robert Roode, so it looks like he is in as well.

[Xero]

Wow, it's pretty sad when an unlockable is Sharkboy.

[KingofOldSchool]

Wow, it's pretty sad when an unlockable is Sharkboy.

It's pretty sad when Shark Boy is in the game, period.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WTF? So I just watched a random video on IGN... It was the Steiner video... Now I was a little confused that the Recliner starts as a standing move (He punches them and knocks them down as part of the move.) but the submission seems to use the exact set up for a pin... Like, it actually counted to three.... what the hell?

[Destor]

Yeah, by the looks of it you've got to escape submission the same way you escape pins. Which I guess could keep the pace of the matches up which could be nice...dunno. (The crowd chanting one two three for them is ridiculous though.)

:heart: the Nash role in this game

[#BROKEN Hasney]

That story mode trailer reminded me of DoR2 so much.

Then again, I reckon DoR2 has one of the best story modes in wrestling games, so I'm not complaining.

[Xero]

The storyline looks stupid as hell. So I guess they're striving for realism.

Also, loading screens between each entrance? What kind of bullshit is that?

It might just be my copied disc, but SvR 2008 does that as well.

It probably does but it's unacceptable at this point to have to load something that simple. At least load BOTH.

God why does suicide look so god damn retarded? These guys making it say they're wrestling fan, but a fucking mark could tell you that would never be a main event character. He looks like one of the pictures on those old generic rubber wrestling figures you see in dollar stores.

If the guy in the story is having extensive surgery to change his appearance, then why the fuck is he wearing a mask and bodysuit before hand? Doesn't make any sense at all.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

EXTREME Makeover Surgery

He's supposed to be very popular. Maybe people already know what he looks like under the mask or some shit. Kinda like Sting and the facepaint. You already know what he looks like but he wears it anyway.

[Shaggy]

So does this game have their actual entrance musics? Or are they going the route WCW Vs NwO was and just give everyone some weird thing.

Hmmm, so no secondary finishers, thats abit of a bummer.

[U-Warrior]

This just became a rental for me.

[Xero]

LOL, WHAT!? FIVE CAW spots?

What kind of bullshit is that? What, aside from preventing someone to make an entire promotions' roster (which makes no sense anyway), is the point of that few, especially in an age with virtually limitless storage capability?

LOL at those big moves being excluded. Any word on "etc"?

7 Grapples. lol.


I knew they'd fuck this up, and they did.

[LoDownM]

This game just went from a rental to never gonna bother for me.

[Destor]

No Ankle Lock? That can't be right.

[KingofOldSchool]

No Ankle Lock? That can't be right.

Never mind the Scorpion Deathlock a move Sting has used for last 20 years or so.

And what's the point of having Team 3D if you can't even do the fucking 3D?

[Destor]

Seriously doubting that news. I can't buy it.

[Destor]

No way they would leave guys finishes out.

[KingofOldSchool]

No way they would leave guys finishes out.

But you can still do the Angle Slam, Scorpion Deathdrop, etc. :roll: :-\

Deathdrop is harldy his finish...but yeah. I see you point.

Seriously doubting that news. I can't buy it.

Well it came from the gamingring podcast and they've been pretty reliable before. They have the final build of the game...

[KingofOldSchool]

No demo.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol no demo...pretty much them admitting "you wouldn't buy it if you played a demo of it" :o

Sounds shit, but I'll prolly give it a rent just because. Looks like I'll be sticking with FPR another year unless SVR09 winds up being a good game.</font>

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No demo.

Heh, I'll still give it as burn I guess. no way would I drop cash to even rent this if there's no demo.

Shame, Ultimate X looks fun in the videos. They really should have put an effort to get a King of the Mountain match in there though.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

So does anyone here have this preordered or actually going to buy it?

[Lux]

So does anyone here have this preordered or actually going to buy it?

I repeat, this barely made it to my "rental" list, not its not even on that

[Xerzes]

So..this thread has been going for over two years, the game still isn't out, and it's likely to suck. That's just great.

[Disturbed316]

Ill get it, seeing as I'm not going to be paying for it I dont mind, am kinda pumped for this, although no secondary finishers is abit of a bummer.

[Lux]

This game is a bummer :nono:

[Xero]

Pfft, KK, how can you have a Whose Line video game when Wayne Brady is in another promotion? :roll:

lol, classic me.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Well someone has preordered this for my birthday, because in their words 'you like wrestling, don't you?'

Still saves me paying for it, and I can decide if I like it or not.

[Destor]

Hey, at least there is always FPR.Wishing my house handn't burnt down right about now. Would so be rocking the fire pro tonight.

[Extreme Angle]

Ill get it, seeing as I'm not going to be paying for it I dont mind, am kinda pumped for this, although no secondary finishers is abit of a bummer.

Not going to be paying?

[Disturbed316]

Nope, one advantage of having credit at game and knowing people who work there.

[Extreme Angle]

What do the people who work there do, just give you discy? and with the discy use credit?

I'm using my gamestation credit on Viva Pinata: TIP next week :D

[Disturbed316]

Higher value trade in prices and "mates rates" on the rrp.

[Disturbed316]

Fancy wacking the crap out of Angle? Try this TNA endorsed flash game:

[ozzman6669]

I was about to buy it but with all the shitty review I think I will wait for smackdown!!

[ozzman6669]

So I decided to buy and it was a bad idea, this game suck, the only good thing about this game is the way it look, the graphics are great but thats all!!!!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I like the control-scheme and Ultimate X. Everything else, not so much.

[FourFifty]

Fancy wacking the crap out of Angle? Try this TNA endorsed flash game:

http://www.angerangle.com/



......What the shit was that? You beat Kurt Angle up for a few seconds with a 2x4 and then he gets mad and hugs you?

[ozzman6669]

The more i'm playing this shit the more I hate it, there supose to have 8 grapple but every way I try I only found the way to do 4-5 moves, your move change depends if your to the left or right of your opponent, everybody do the same move, in Quebec they change West and Tenay for french commentary that are even worse, I got to read the manual in english cause I don't even understand the translation they made of it.

This shit is only good to wait for smackdown!!!!!

[Kenny]

I got the PS2 version, and there's a lot missing.

There is NO online.

There is NO CAW. When you play story mode you can pick your new name and that's about it. Suicide is just given a new full body costume, which is a pretty cool costume but it doesn't make up for anything. Your finishing move consists of you spinning around your opponent twice, before ending up in a power bomb position, then doing what I guess would be called a sunset flip bomb to finish the move.

The graphics aren't nearly as good as the PS3 and XBox 360 installations. Of course, I was expecting that. But let me put it this way, it's nowhere near as good as Smackdown: Know Your Role (Smackdown 3) either.

There are plenty of glitches. The game froze once, and in one match my opponent ended up stuck inside of the ring. Only his chest and head were visible. Luckily he did find his way out and I got to finish the match.

Almost half the characters are locked, and almost everyone I unlocked so far absolutely sucks. Examples... Demonic DJ, Lenny, Benny, and Mr. Suplex or something like that.

As a "video game" it's not HORRIBLE, but as a wrestling game it's a very big disappointment.

I did get a free TNA DVD though, cause I pre-ordered.

Overall, this game is enough to make God say His own name in vain; and I'm not sure I'll ever be the same.

At least we know why there was no demo, always makes me suspicious when a new "big name" game comes along with no demo.

[U-Warrior]

lol this is not a "big name" game.

[Gerard]

lol this is not a "big name" game.

Considering tna are the only "big name" wrestling company on tv outside of wwe it pretty much is.

[U-Warrior]

Wrestling isn't that big anymore, so that's not saying much.

It's like saying an NCAA Baseball video game is a "big game".

I wouldn't say ever. It's a lot better than WCW Nitro.

[ozzman6669]

I just finish the story of this piece of shit. Still got 5 wrestlers locked and during the story I have only unlocked 2 finisher and 3 normal move. This game suck, don't buy it and tomorow I will trade it for NHL 09.

[D Mac]

Nice grammar there.

[Shaggy]

My little brother picked it up and likes it...but I think thats because hes afraid to tell me it sucks after I warned him it would.

[KingofOldSchool]

I got the PS2 version, and there's a lot missing.

There is NO online.

There is NO CAW. When you play story mode you can pick your new name and that's about it. Suicide is just given a new full body costume, which is a pretty cool costume but it doesn't make up for anything. Your finishing move consists of you spinning around your opponent twice, before ending up in a power bomb position, then doing what I guess would be called a sunset flip bomb to finish the move.

The graphics aren't nearly as good as the PS3 and XBox 360 installations. Of course, I was expecting that. But let me put it this way, it's nowhere near as good as Smackdown: Know Your Role (Smackdown 3) either.

There are plenty of glitches. The game froze once, and in one match my opponent ended up stuck inside of the ring. Only his chest and head were visible. Luckily he did find his way out and I got to finish the match.

Almost half the characters are locked, and almost everyone I unlocked so far absolutely sucks. Examples... Demonic DJ, Lenny, Benny, and Mr. Suplex or something like that.

As a "video game" it's not HORRIBLE, but as a wrestling game it's a very big disappointment.

I did get a free TNA DVD though, cause I pre-ordered.

Overall, this game is enough to make God say His own name in vain; and I'm not sure I'll ever be the same.

Yeah that stuff was known for a long time, especially the no CAW and online in the PS2 version.

Maybe next time you will acutally...I don't know...read information on the game before you waste money on it.

[Disturbed316]

Got it earlier and its....ok. Controls take a while getting used to, but get there eventually.

Story mode is pretty funny, but only because of how kayfabe and mark-ish it is. Currently on the tag team part and keep losing to LAX, which is both frustrating and gay.

Ultimate X is a pretty decent mode, but the way you have to get X down is very annoying.

Overall I'd agree with Gamespot review. A fair amount of things they need to improve on, but no way as bad as it could have turned out to be.

Gimme some details mang...

Are the intros really just 10 seconds long?
Are they missing 4356723476 finishers and signature moves like I heard?
How big is the roster?
Are there lots of moves to choose from?

[ozzman6669]

Yes for the long ones, Rhino is 5 seconds!!

Are they missing 4356723476 finishers and signature moves like I heard?

Yes

How big is the roster?

31 total
17 at the start

Are there lots of moves to choose from?

No

[Funky Fly]

K, not talking about the PS2 version. I mean the 360/PS3 version

[ozzman6669]

What i've said is for PS3

[Funky Fly]

lame

[ozzman6669]

War Zone had more move than that. This game is like WCW/nWo Thunder with better graphics.

[XL]

I have one question...


What does ozzman have against pluralisation?

[Kane Knight]

I saw this at Gamestop today, and was excited for about fifteen seconds. Then I looked around for shit online, and checked this thread, and I'm kinda glad I didn't even consider purchasing it.

[ozzman6669]

I'm from Quebec so my english might not be perfect!!!!!!

[Kane Knight]

I'm from Quebec so my english might not be existent!!!!!!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No the controls are much better.

For me this is the first Smackdown with better controls.

For the record, I hated every Smackdown game up until Shut your Mouth

[D Mac]

Played a little of it last night.

The graphics are good, but the controls suck.

This could be the most dissapointing game of the year.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

This game goes WAY overboard with the reversal system.

I like it, but it's frustrating. It's fun, and might warrant possibly 30 - 40 dollars, but not 60.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah they should have named the game TNA Reversals!: The Video Game

[ozzman6669]

And they did a little mistake, easy is hard and hard is easy!!!

[Xero]

Normally I wouldn't have to ask this, but Ozzman, are you serious?

[ozzman6669]

Normally I wouldn't have to ask this, but Ozzman, are you serious?

Yes I am, the easyest mode is pro!!!!!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I finished storymode and it grew on me. They made Jeff Jarret as cheap as fucking Shao Khan from MK for the last fight, but whatever.

If they can improve this for a sequel (EG no spam attacking someone on the ground, signature moves and not just finishers (hell, even getting some peoples finishers right, no Lethal Combination for Jay :(), better CAW, more match modes and better online) they could be onto a winner.

Smackdown needs to take a few things from this game. Notably, each move has a proper reversal, not some lame punch before they hit the move, and reversals acan be reversed. Letting people twat people out of mid-air is brilliant (dropkicking someone going for a cross-body is so fun) and apron moves.

All-in-all, it's probably the best "first-in-a-series" American wrestling game bar WCW Vs. nWo World Tour.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yes I am, the easyest mode is pro!!!!!

It's not on mine, Backyard seems to be the easiest.

Anyways, there is a huge bug in the AI, everytime the computer tries to run past the steps, he'll trip over them instead. Pretty funny though.

Petey Williams, Curry Man and Afro Thunder from Ready 2 Rumble will be DLC

[Kenny]

LoL, I completed story mode last night and was treated to commentary by the developers during the credits. The developers basically brag the game up to the point you can't help but laugh. One of them even said they feel like they blew the competition away, while another one claimed that they proved all of their critics wrong with the finished product.

I don't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. What this does tell me is that they are not listening to what wrestling fans want in a wrestling game, because if they had there is no way they would have been so confident with the finished product.

Another funny tidbit on the PS2 version... You can unlock all of the "Jobber" characters that you face in story mode. I checked out the bio for all of them last night and they ALL share the Cradle Shock for their finisher. LoL, they couldn't mix it up a little?

I was somewhat pleased with "AJ Styles X" and "Chris Sabin X" which are basically both characters with their looks from back in 2003 - 2005.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, that pissed me off in story too, fucking cradle shocks all over the joint with the fake characters.

I enjoy this better than SvR 2008, but still pissed that American wrestling games are a desolate wasteland right now.

[Disturbed316]

Progressing through storymode abit more and am actually quite enjoying this. Now I've got used to the controls and figured out the best way to grab the X its a fairly decent wrestling experience.

Yeah, its no way near the standards of HCTP, but its better than the LOW series by far.`

[Kenny]

I think story mode is actually pretty decent, but in a "B Movie" kind of way rather than a wrestling storyline kind of way.

I did get another glitch though, with a fraction of the victory music playing over and over again throughout the entire game. I had to exit story mode all together in order to fix it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Didn't have that happen, might be a PS2 only thing

[Kenny]

Now that I've unlocked everything, this game has literally lost all of it's replay value.

I've also come to the conclusion that my favorite TNA game to date is WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth.

I should sell this on EBay. I sold Iron Man for $2 less than I bought it for. I can put the money toward the pre-purchase of either Ghostbusters or Spiderman: Web of Shadows.

Excuse me? do you mean THQ

[DS]

Sounds like a joke to me, Lux.

[Lux]

My apologies for missing that.

[Disturbed316]

Good god, online is so cheap. All people do is stun you and then pin you. Doesn't mater if you've been kicking their ass, or if you body damage is not as bad as theirs, just stun them, pin them, win. GAY.

[Lux]

And the award for worst wrestling game of the year goes to .....

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I don't know yet. Smackdown has an alarming habit of dropping the ball more often than not recently.

[U-Warrior]

lol the voice in story mode is lo-ki's apparently. I would have assumed it was someone 3 feet taller and blacker.

[Kenny]

I don't know yet. Smackdown has an alarming habit of dropping the ball more often than not recently.

Even if Smackdown completely sucks I can't see it being anywhere near as bad as TNA Impact. Now that I've beaten season mode it has absolutely no replay value whatsoever. The only thing that gives me any satisfaction in the game at all is hitting the cool springboard moves.

If you notice, the kicks and punches are very similar to the old WWF games "Wrestlemania: the Arcade Game" and "In Your House." The lunge kick (Strong kick from a distance) and the ground stomps / punches are almost exactly the same as in that game. This game is basically just Pit Fighter with a few wrestling moves and throws thrown in for fun.

Every time I think of this game I feel like the "Angry Nintendo Nerd" from Cinemasscare.com.

The thing about Smackdown is that even if it's a horrible wrestling game, at least it's a WRESTLING game. I was looking forward to playing as AJ Styles so I could hit the Pele out of nowhere, surprise an opponent with the moonsault inverted DDT, hit the Spiral Tap for a pin fall... I get NONE of that. The only move that is in there that I mentioned is the inverted DDT, but every high flyer has the move so it doesn't feel exclusive.

Then, you beat the game and they are BRAGGING about the game in the credits. "Boy, we sure showed our critics wrong." WHAT!? Out of the kindness of my own heart I gave these guys a chance, and now I'm not sure if I'll ever do anything nice for anyone again. :'(

[Funky Fly]

Probably just gonna rent it.

[Lux]

I don't know yet. Smackdown has an alarming habit of dropping the ball more often than not recently.

More often than not Smackdown doesn't suck as badly as TNA Impact.

[Lux]

Also theres a difference between dropping the ball and flat out failing.

[Disturbed316]

lol yeah the credits at the end were full of shit, no where near as amazing as they made out to be.

[Disturbed316]

Traded this in earlier, shitty online made this have no replay value for me.

[Tazz Dan]

Haven;t read the whole thread so I apologise if this has been vented elsewhere.

I really can't dif the whole kick-punch set up this game has. I also havent been able to hit a finisher once. Everytime I try my guys goes outside of the ring. :mad:

Dissapointed with the ring entrances also. At the end of the day, it's still better than most of the old WCW games

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Go out of the ring? You need to get them in a strong grapple before pressing the action button to hit a finisher.

[Kalyx triaD]

Disappointed at the poor reviews. You'd think Midway would simply adapt and expand what works. What a waste of company funds.

Then again, a promotion like TNA deserves a game like this.

[Kenny]

The only confidence I had in this game at all was the fact that Samoa Joe and AJ Styles, who claim to be gamers, were involved in the developmental process. I find it hard to believe that even they approved of this game, specially considering the competition.

I do have to disagree with you as far as TNA deserving a game like this. Some of the current storylines are about as appealing as a soiled diaper, but TNA did give us some great matches and great memories.

When I saw the Triple Threat match between AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Christopher Daniels I imagined what it would be like to play a game and have a match like that.

This game COULD have worked with a few very slight, but very important moderations.

For example, if they implemented both special moves and distinguishing styles we could have the feel of playing as each character. When I fight Samoa Joe I want to feel the danger of being submitted. When I fight Abyss I want to be in for the fight of my life. When I fight AJ Styles I want to have to be ready for surprise aerial attacks. This game is missing all of that.

Usually I'd put my hope in the next game, but since it's probably being developed by Midway as well I've lost all faith. They seem to have come to the conclusion that they can compete with Smackdown vs Raw, which is laughable at this point.

[Vastardikai]

So basically TNA Impact is gonna be a shitty bush league version of the piss-poor "standard" for Wrestling Video Games?

Hey, it's kind of like TNA compared to WWE...

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Just got this in the post yesterday, so I thought I'd post some feedback.

The CAW is horribly basic. Smackdowns 'paint on clothes' etc has annoyed me to no end, but in comparison I'll take SD anyday.

The story mode is far to linear, no options, a goofy story, and a CAW only option isn't a great result.

But as for the main exibition mode? I don't mind it. Its different, and Ultimate X is fun.

All in all I'm going to finish story mode to unlock the characters and have some fun in exibition. But I personally see me trading this in pretty soon, and possibly getting COD or Batman.

Someone with sense posting!

Men, listen to him now damnit.

[D Mac]

Well I finally beat Story mode. Jeff Jarrett was a fucking bitch. You kick his ass and barely get him in the yellow, he does a few moves and gets you in the red. I had to hit the DOA on him 3 times to win. I'm officially through with this bullshit game.

[Lux]

Shouldn't of bought it :nono:

[D Mac]

I didn't. Rented.

[Lux]

Smart move :)

[D Mac]

Blockbuster Gamepass. You can keep them for as long as you want and get something else when you're done for a monthly fee.

[Crazy Nick]

My friend bought it for the PS3 and he likes it, but judging by what you guys have said, he is full of shit.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

I know, Jarrett was a bitch to beat. But I also think it was a bit random on who was hard to beat and not. Like it took me about 3 times to beat the Dudleys, but on the go that I beat them it was easy as hell.

I just have to add that the story mode was fucked up to no extent. Kidnap and attempted murder in a wrestling game. I swear this is the sole reason this game was a 15.

[Lux]

Downloadable content coming next week.

Next week, TNA iMPACT! fans will be able to complete their rosters with the first ever downloadable characters in a wrestling game. Starting November 6th, the Maple Leaf Muscle Petey Williams and the Hot and Spicy Curry Man will be available to download for the Xbox 360 for 100 Microsoft Points. TNA iMPACT! owners can round out the 27-man roster while finishing the competition with the Canadian Destroyer. As an added bonus, TNA announcer Mike Tenay will also be available to download, free of charge.

[Xero]

Oh boy, MIKE TENAY!? Well shit, now I have to go out and buy this game!

[Kalyx triaD]

What a joke. Midway releases this trash the year SvR puts up their A game. What luck.

That is funny, I am so happy I never even thought about renting that piece of crap.

[KingofOldSchool]

That is funny, I am so happy I never even thought about renting that piece of crap.

Eh it's a decent rental and would be a decent pick up for $20, but there are little options and the career mode is just one big absurd Smackdown vs. Raw storyline.

Think of the Candice Michelle magic wand storyline from a couple of years ago, but have it be the WHOLE career mode.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Damn, that was the story I hated the most in 07. So I guess I'll rent it once then and give it a try even though I heard that everyone has the same moves like it was Royal Rumble on Genesis.

[The Mackem]

wow, just wow

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah your CAW, Mike Tenay, Don West, and all of the made up wrestler's default finisher is the Cradle Shock. :-\

Poor Sabin.

Oh and both Lethal and Senshi has the Dragon Suplex as their finisher. :|

[Kalyx triaD]

Damn.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

It really was like they went all out graphically with this game, and everything else was an afterthought

I think the right company to contact would be TNA. I wouldn't be surprised if they would be able to break contract based on how horrible this game is and give another company a surprise.

Every time I read something like this... I can't stop thinking of the video during the credits of the PS2 version where Midway brags up the game and claims they will give Smackdown a run for their money. Wow.

[James Steele]

Rented it for PS2...

Just wow...
