Customer Reviews

Doesn't feel finished
There was a lot of hype for this game for many wrestling fans. It doesn't quite live up to it.

The Bad:
-The game still has a few bugs, I mean I was once gored by Rhino but he came no where near me.
-The reversal engine needs work. I'm not sure what it is but the player can never reverse a reversal.
-The Create a Wrestler is really limited
-The wrestling moves are really limited. A lot of the wrestlers have some of the same moves. They motion captured over two hundred wrestling moves but for some reason they weren't put in.
-The Story mode screams Vince Russo. (run-ins etc.)
-The controls are a bit awkward but once you master them you'll breeze through the game in no time and it becomes more fun.
-A lot of things that were promised were not put in the game like King of the Mountain, more moves etc.

The Good:
-The graphics are incredible
-The create a wrestler may be limited but they look real.
-Ultimate X
-The wrestling moves look incredible. With AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Low-Ki, and Colt Cabana doing the mo-cap work they should.
-Even though the reversal system needs work, the reversals are logical and look great.
-No cut scenes during matches.
-The game is actually fun once you master the controls.
-The gameplay isn't too slow or sluggish
-Wrestlers move around the ring realistically.

All in all this isn't a bad game but it could be a whole lot better. This game feels like Midway rushed it out before it was completely finished,which is sad considering how long they've been working on the it. Hopefully Impact 2 will improve on all the errors and bugs. I would rate this below Fire Pro Wrestling Returns, and No Mercy, but above Smackdown vs. Raw 07 and 08.

Good graphics, but that is all
The graphics get a 4.5 of 5...the last .5 is because the characters do not actually touch during matches, there is a small space between them.

Gameplay is alright...3.5 of 5

Storyline gets a 2 of 5...you have to use a created wrestler in story mode, the only choice is what the person looks like and the moves he does, you cant even change the name of the character, which is Suicide(I wanted to do that myself after only five minutes of play)...

Create a Wrestler is horribly organized and there are a limited number of choices to make as far as attire and physical appearance...2 of 5

Just to show how bad it is Gamestop sold the game for 60 dollars on its release date...and the trade in price was 20 dollars...a game that has been out for 3 weeks is still earning 30 dollars, those that decide on prices knew this game was a bomb before they released it on the market.

THA slams onto your XBOX 360. Not perfect, but a good start.
Yeah, so you have read the other reviews that are negative, I especially love the ones that complain about the lack of superstars in the game. Yeah, if you can't be happy with 25 wrestlers to choose from, I don't know what the problem is. The game is well done. I know it is missing things, but so are most "Firsts" in a series. TNA Impact! Tries to do a few things here that have not been done in wrestling games in a long time. It is true, if you are a button masher used to Tekken or Mortal Kombat, this game is not for you. However, if you want to think and take the time to learn how to play the game and master its awesome grappling engine, you are in for a treat. Instead of the constant button mashing that most wrestling, or fighting titles for that matter, have, TNA IMPACT! will reward you with some awesome moves if you learn how to control the game. It's not clumsy or off key, you just can't slam buttons nonsensically and expect the game to just go into a frenzy of blissful non exsistant motion. if you push "Kick", you can't one second later push punch and then kick and then punch and then run and grapple and then kick and then punch and then, well you get the picture. This is not Raw VS Smackdown. The controls are just fine, just don't expect to be a sloppy gamer and enjoy the game. You have to learn them to enjoy the game.
The graphics are nice and clean and look pretty well done after the characters on the roster that are featured here. Not really a surprise in this department. The sound is good, although the comentary gets a bit repetitive, however this is a problem with all wrestling games that feature comentary and don't try and pretend that it's not either. Basically it is a well put together package, especially Ultimate X. This mode makes the game especially awesome. Ultimate X is very fun and can continue to keep you entertained.
The downside to the game are the fact that the belts are not featured here, although they are brought up. I still don't understand that one myself. There is a lack of original modes for TNA as well, however, if Midway does do a sequel, I will buy it and hope that they add more to the game. As a first go at the genre though, Midway did a pretty good job. Check the game out, itis better than the reviewers are giving it.
