Don't get IGN wrong, the control scheme is solid as well as a throwback to the wrestling games of old (so it's sure to appeal to a lot of people) and the Ultimate X Match is fun and provides for some good looking spots, but overall TNA iMPACT! ends up being a shallow game. It's not going to take you long to see everything this title has to offer and start dreaming about the sequel.

James writes: "The wrestling portion of the video game market has been dominated by WWE (formerly WWF) for years now, fighting off their biggest rivals WCW in the process. There was another who tried to dethrone the leading brand in the late 2000s though, when Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) took their popularity to the next level with the release of a wrestling game. Ten years after the release of TNA Impact!, it’s time to look back at whether it was a success. Did TNA Impact! whip up a storm in the world of gaming like a hurricane coming through to leave a lasting legacy, or was it more of a failed attempt at cashing in on the rapidly growing promotion?"
TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter has revealed the company is still interested in making another video game.
Apparently the last one didn't suck quite enough; they KNOW they can do a crappier one than that.
I'd love to see someone bring back the N64 Aki Engine. TNA or even a generic wrestling game to make the WWE games step up their game. It's been basically the same for this generation.
Those game are the best wrestling games ever!!!
My favorite are NoMercy and WCW vs nWo revenge
indeed, is that picture really from wwe 13? also i thought the physics in the tna game were pretty good, the characters moved and reacted to things alot better than any smackdown game, hopefully they can just fix the wrestling mechanics and make a good one next time round.
Lol, WWE 13 no where near looks that bad! That is either not WWE 13 or a shoddy created wrestler.
Not saying WWE 13 looks good, just not that bad > http://d1vr6n66ssr06c.cloud...
Reminds me of Madden 13. All the players look...wrong. Then you look at a supposed Jerry Rice after a superbowl win and it's just some guy that could have just as easily been Arsenio Hall.
APF 2k8 made in 2007: Jerry Rice

It's laughable but sad because Football and wrestling games have been stale since 2007.
A new TNA game would be fantastic, the in ring action in TNA is much faster and fluid than anything I've seen in WWE. Especially the X Division stuff!
Recently on a TNA post show Jeremy Borash stated that TNA was working on a new Ipad video game while Kurt Angle also stated the same on his twitter account so WrestlingGamer.com decided to discuss on why TNA should come out with preferably a console game and ways they could improve on their previous console release.
Why make another TNA gay game the first one sucks that the Spongebob game was way better
Whoa. I didn't even know the game was close enough to be reviewed. After all the noise coming from THQ i would have expected something better. Oh well.
Anyway THQ sucks and so does TNA. Wrestlers who left WWE for TNA just for more money were dumb and will rot in TNA. Kurt angle you will rot
people with common sense knew that this tna game would fail because its made by midway
Damn I predicted a 5.0. I am pissed off, well it sucks either way. There's always a better failure next year lawl.
TGSI
i was actually rooting for this to be good because smackdown needs some competition, its like madden of wrestling
i didn't expect TNA to be good but I was still hoping it would happen...maybe there is hope in the UFC game
