"TNA iMPACT! has some great ideas, but a wide array of issues big and small prevent it from achieving greatness."
TNA iMPACT!
Enter the six-sided ring and wrestle in Midway's first wrestling game from the Orlando-based TNA wrestling promotion.
Overview
TNA iMPACT! is a pro-wresting game based on the Total Nonstop Acton promotion. Developed and published by Midway, the game brings to fans many of their favorite wrestlers in both likeness and voice, and allows them to duke it out in fast-paced matches with less emphasis on the submission maneuvers found in many pro-wrestling games and more on combative wrestling moves. AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Senshi, Sonjay Dutt, and Jeff Jarrett were brought in to provide the motion capture animations for the game. Every real life TNA wrestler had their bodies scanned in for an authentic look and an original character was made specifically for the game, Suicide, who jumped into reality on TNA programming shortly after the game's release.
Story
The story revolves around the wrestler Suicide who fights his way back to the top of TNA after receiving a severe beating and left for dead in Mexico. After his vicious attack, Suicide has a plastic surgery procedure done introducing his new look (the player's created wrestler) and has no recollection as to who he is or what happened to him. Players then participate in matches in the middle of nowhere leading to a tryout and eventually a spot on the TNA roster. Once with TNA you will fight your way through all 3 tiers (tag, X-Division & World Heavyweight) regaining memories along the way until you finally remember who you are and what happened to you.
