TNA Impact might not beat the competition in the first attempt but it offers enough promise to make the inevitable sequel exciting. It makes a great first impression with it's easy to use control scheme, fairly decent story and great graphics. But it's ultimately let down by an overly basic move list and a lack of in-depth modes. Next years will be great if they expand on the this groundwork in the right directions. Nevertheless anyone who is a wrestling fan shouldn't hesitate to buy this despite it's minor flaws.
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.
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.
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
Most TNA stars share the same moves, story mode is horrible, the limted caw is just aweful, no height or weight and any star can lift another, no real limb damage or divas, no belts, rent if you have to play it but don't buy.
