    TNA Impact Review

    Is this game Good Or Bad Lets find out Shall we.


    First thing you will Notice once you pop this game in is Just How Great it Looks epically in HD Anyway This game is limited in some areas and i will explane in just a moment alright lets start off with the match types you got Ultimate X Ultimate X FFA Then you got Singles tag team falls count anywhere and online

    that sums it up right there im dissapointed in the limited match types but there fun to play still just wish midway had included more ok moving on

    Haven't tryed online yet so cant review that portion but its 1v1 with all the match types in a single player online so anyway moving on

    the Story mode has you starting out as a Guy Named Suicide just winning the TNA World title you where told before hand to take a dive and did not do so so LAX Beats the Shit out of you and leaves you for dead in Mexico that's where you start off and work your way back but its all not glimmer and glory there's some work to be done here you are laying in a hospitable beaten and mangled so thus this takes you in to the CAW Mode where you attempt to create a likeness of your self anyway you got the Standard Options witch are Limted by any means its not totally broken its dueable but would like to see more included in TNA Impact 2.

    You can Create Hogan in this don't worry and i did see where if u tryed hard enough you could create the Highlanders too so its not all bad.

    Lets see Gameplay is Rough and Tough and will Kick your ass if you let it while playing my first match with this game i could not figure out how to tie up the Manual doesnt do a good Job of telling you how to do moves and such it seems you really do have to figure it out yeah there's a nice controls feature in the start menu that will help yeah that's saying alot

    (That's what the freaking Manul is for Midway DRRRRR) Anyway enough of that.

    On to my Bitches and Gripes of this game lets start off with my Biggest Complaint of this game.

    Here it is are you ready for it .

    its During TAG Team matches when getting beaten down. and geting ready to be pinned during Said PIN If the AI Is hurt bad enough it will stand there and Not even attempt to Break the PIN Up it Gives you this look like Ah fuck you get out of it your self.

    I'm in the storymode right now with Eric Young and my CAW (WARNING SPOILER ALERT).

    IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ THIS SKIP AHEAD YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    I'm in a Tag match right now with Eric young and My CAW Vs Aj Styles and Tomko and i cannot beat them because eric keeps geting hurt and refuses to break up the pin so there for i cannot win and this goes the same with my CAW









    Anyway Another Gripe with this game is the AI Likes to reverse too much and Grab the Chair too much there never is a fair fight in this game its always a Rough and tough Brawl Always


    Anyway my Final Score Goes like this


    4 Main Category's are broken up like this


    1.Gameplay while Fun as it may seem the Tag team matches really hold this game back

    2.Graphics the Graphics are Nice and Distracting from the real Problems at hand with this game.

    3.Overall Presentation this game has the Glitz and Glamor you come to expect from next gen But Simply doesn't have enough here to really hold its own.

    4. Final Thoughts My final thoughts are this game is Limited in Stature and lack in Game Modes really hurt this game and the Broken AI in TAG Matches really Bring this game down the Caw Is Kinda Limited it really makes you wonder was 2.5Yrs in making this game Really spent on AJ Styles Chest Hair I Mean seriously this is what midway has to offer and if we want our TNA Wrestler Fix in a Video game we have to tough it out. While i can recommend this to DIE Hard TNA Fans only for the rest its a Rental there's Far better games out there like Fire-Pro Wrestling your better off saving your money for something worth while.


    Buy this if you really Must have a Wrestling game that's the only way i can recommend this

    I Bought it cause i Wanted a tna game regardless of how bad it was.

    I'm dissapointed. in midway's first outing

    Also a added gripe No where in the Manual Does it actually tell you How to TAG Out or any tag team moves this match really seemed like a After thought for midway


    My final Score a 6.9 I Reviewed this for PS3

      TNA iMPACT delivers on good gameplay but fails on everything else 0

      TNA has started to really take the wrestling business by story.A company started by the great Jeff Jarret, TNA has skyrocketed due to big superstars like AJ Styles,Christian Cage,Sting,Samoa Joe, and many other great superstars.Mostly coming from their rival company, WWE.Alright enough of this BS, time to talk about their new video-game, TNA iMPACT!I want to start off by saying, I'm a huge wrestling(Both TNA and WWE)fan so this review is gonna have a lot of nit-picking.Let's talk about the main ...
