    After years and years of build and press, videos of wrestlers motion capturing moves over and over, we finally receive TNA IMpact! The video game. A Stumbling mess of a 'wrestling game' that contains terrible A.I, no rules in matches and an interesting storyline ruined by glitches.

    The storyline is interesting, better then many recent WWE Games, but is ruined by the 'tag team' portion of the game due to the fact that your partner will Never Ever Help you. Every single match is No DQ, with a chair outside the ring that can be used constantly.

    On the plus side? The graphics are incredible. That's all.    … Expand

    Not a big fan of this game. The pinning system is bad. Hit detection is awful at times. Story mode is not too bad. Isn't taking itself seriously at all and made me laugh. Voice acting is okay for the most part. But gameplay is so frustrating. Difficulty doesn't really change from easy to normal. Played normal all the way until I got to Jeff Jarrett. Had to put it on easy or "indie" modeNot a big fan of this game. The pinning system is bad. Hit detection is awful at times. Story mode is not too bad. Isn't taking itself seriously at all and made me laugh. Voice acting is okay for the most part. But gameplay is so frustrating. Difficulty doesn't really change from easy to normal. Played normal all the way until I got to Jeff Jarrett. Had to put it on easy or "indie" mode and couldn't tell the difference. I thought I made a mistake but nope. Midway doesn't know how to differentiate the difficulty spikes. By far the hardest wrestling game I've ever played. And not a lot of depth to this game. Every wrestler has the same moveset except for their finishers. They mostly feel the same. Can be fun but it's more frustrating than anything.… Expand

    TNA iMPACT! had a lot of potential, but it didn't follow through on most of it. Beyond the limited/repetitive moves, lackluster CAW, and scaled back online, my main problem is that iMPACT! doesn't feel like real wrestling.

    The character models are excellent while the animation is fluid and lively, but the physics of fighting definitely lack polish and can create some frustrating situations. Yet despite these technical shortcomings, it's still great fun to clothesline, drop kick, and power bomb your friends in and out of the ring.

    That failure to compete isn't just in the options, either -- even the grapple system failed to hook me. It's a shame, too, because the developers boasted that they based their controls off of the Nintendo 64 wrestling classic "WWF No Mercy." Nice try, guys!
