I mean just look at the roster no Team 3D and no female wrestlers I'm already saying it's a failure,what do you think?
TNA iMPACT!
Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Sep 09, 2008
Enter the six-sided ring and wrestle in Midway's first wrestling game from the Orlando-based TNA wrestling promotion.
Is this game already a failure?
i would forget it. they answered questions on it the other day and its a glorified demo
NO female wrestlers
NO create an entrance
The only weapon is a steel chair
Sting wields a bat but cant use it on people
NO blood
NO edit a wrestler in the games moveset
NO double team moves in tag team matches
NO multiple attires for wrestlers
JUST 5 CAW slots
JUST 1 FINISHER
NO demo
NO Season Mode
No Fighting in the crowd
Cant use a wrestler in story mode, it has to be your custom character
NO CAW for PS2 or Wii owners
NO full length entrances
NO Custom soundtrack
NO call names for your created wrestler
NO trophy support for PS3
Only 2 player support online
Only 4 people can be on screen at one time
NO GM mode
after that bombshell, is anyone who doesnt have access to the internet going to buy this game? 3 years in development and this is what we get. no wonder its coming out budget price. you probably get more options on a smackdown demo
"i would forget it. they answered questions on it the other day and its a glorified demoyou are a fucking idiot. look at the first Smackdown game, there was fuck all in that too, and the same goes for any wrestling fighting game. Do you have any idea how long it

takes to build a game engine for something like this FROM SCRATCH. The Smackdown games have all the fancy bells and whistles but they have been using the same engine for years and have just added to it and tweaked it. Midway have always said that for this game their focus is on getting a solid gameplay and graphic engine in place and they can build on that. i mean look at the greatest wrestling game of all time "WWF No Mercy" that was very thin on the ground in the vein of features but the gameplay kicked the ass of every other wrestling game. You dont need all the fancy extras that Smackdown has to make a good game.
"It is TNA, that's all you really need to know."Is that good or bad?I say that'd be bad...
I didn't know they didn't have all that. No Angelina Love????
No season mode???
I was going to wait until I saw the reviews before buying this game. I'll wait and see.
Yeah, after seeing that Q&A on IGN, this game looks dire. I wish AKI would make wrestling games again.
"TheGamerGeek said:Epic Fail."SSbabel said:they are better than the WWE shit anyway. not by much though, TNA has seriously lost the plot lately."It is TNA, that's all you really need to know."Is that good or bad?I say that'd be bad..."

wrestling is just in the shit right now all over. TNA imo is the only one trying to make things better by offering a different product with better wrestling. i wanna see this game and that company do well.

Has anyone here bought the game? The IGN review wasn't very good. I was hoping it would do well, to put some pressure on SVR. I wasn't crazy about last years SVR.

"Yep, I bought it yesterday and despite the lack of any real content, the games fun.But after a week I'll be bored because all they have is story,online(Which sucks),and exhibition.
Cool. Thanks TGG. I'll get it when the price goes down. How is Petey Williams' finisher, The Canadian Destroyer? I think the game would be worth it just for that!!
"you are a fucking idiot. look at the first Smackdown game, there was fuck all in that too, and the same goes for any wrestling fighting game. Do you have any idea how long itNot an excuse. Don't call people fucking idiots because they think a mediocre game is in fact mediocre.

2. he called the game a glorified demo which is soooo far below mediocre
so yeah i took issue with his comments . i believe you should give a game a chance and not call it crap based on an interview that just drew attention to what was missing from the game as opposed to what was good about the stuff it did have.
