I’ll be brief.I HATE this game.The controls are so complicated I STILL can’t play it after owning it for a year.If TNA does another videogame I sure hope they make it easier for those of us who don’t have 3 thumbs.Much like TNA lately this is a huge disappointment.I recommend ANY WWE game over this stinker

Cross Promotion in wrestling, WWE needs to branch out like ROH and TNA have done?
ROH has cross promoted with Dragon Gate, CZW and NOAHTNA has a big specail airing after impact about their co promotion event with New Japan Pro WrestlingWhy doesn't WWE do this. WWE is not big in Japan, they could add a huge market in Japan if they did a Co-Promoted Show with New Japan, TNA Impact! Cross the Line [PlayStation Portable Game] All Japan, HUSTLE or NOHA. It would help the WWE and would help get the name out of the other company they did it with.Posible matches we could see....Mitsuharu Misawa vs HHHNaomichi Marufuji vs HBKTakeshi Morishima vs OrtonDo Fixer vs Hardy BoysKENTA vs Chris Jericho (OMG AWSOME)so many more....I know it will never happen but wouldn't it be a good idea to do somthing like thisRemember WWE would never help anouther american pro wrestling company so a show with TNA or ROH would never happenBUT WOULDN'T THIS BE COOL TO SEE AND IT WOULD HELP WWE BECOME BIGGER IN JAPAN A MAJOR WRESTLING MARKET. WWE DOESN'T GO TO JAPAN BECAUSE NO ONE LIKES THEM THEIR IT WOULD HELP INTERNATIONAL BUSSINESS IT DOESN'T MATTER THE SIZE OF THE COMPANY.

TNA Impact was fun when i first got it i played the story had some fun matches with my nephews i was not happy with the online cause i wasn’t able to play online due to there not being one person on. TNA had good potential had it had more moves, matches, and weapons and 2k as the developers not that midway did a bad job but the guys that make 2k sports would have done one hell of a job, I would love to see Konami do a wrestling game anyways TNA is worth a rent that’s about it hopefully we get a part 2 by a different company
TNA IMPACT! plays like what wrestling games fans have been begging for: that awesome AKI gameplay. TNA is so fluid, the controls so good, it will make you smile right away. (Hernandez’ Border Toss over the top rope is a thing of beauty) Wrestlers DO NOT have all the same moves. AJ Styles has the Styles Clash, the Pele, his moonsault ddt and more. The only problem the game has is that it is short on moves but not to any ridiculous extent. If there was a DLC package that doubled the moves this would be a 10/10 game.
Its graphics, game play and fun factor soars above the SvR series to an absurd extent. TNA IMPACT! 2 will definitely be the best wrestling game ever made. Oh and I am in no way a TNA fan boy. If you’re missing your old N64 AKI WCW/WWF games, the Gamecube’s WWE Day of Reckoning games, or Japanese PS2 games like Wrestle Kingdom 1& 2, then this is what you want.
I cancelled my pre-order as well amidst the uproar about that IGN Midway Q&A on all the game site forums. It was all hysteria as this game rules despite being light on moves and not having blood. Short entrances? No Knockouts? Poor CAW? No video screens playing the action in the background of the arena? WHO THE HELL CARES? SvR is a broken game with massive amounts of features to cover up that fact, TNA IMPACT! is sparse but with highly refined game play, controls and graphics.
p.s. It’s mind boggling to me that the same company (Yukes) made both the abysmal SvR games, and the wonderful DoR and Wrestle Kingdom games.
i love TNA and the tv spots they do. this game in no way represents the intensity of TNA. Boring, pointless storyline, create a wrestler what? Please dont insult us with ps1 quality game. my advise, it would be more fun finding real people to wrestle fake with.
TNA and Midway have ramped up the hype machine for “TNA Impact” for months. SpikeTV, in fact, devoted an entire episode of its “Game Trailers” show to the game. As a big TNA fan, I was already excited for my first shot at controlling Samoa Joe and AJ Styles and all on my PS3, and the Spike special put my excitement over the top. The graphics looked unbelievable, and I was encouraged by quotes from some of TNA’s younger talent on the game’s playability — the title of this review is an AJ Styles quote from the special.
Unfortunately, I have yet to figure out what AJ was talking about. I see that other reviewers like the gameplay here, but I cannot stand it. Kicking out of pins is absurdly difficult, there is no apparent rhyme or reason to how much damage is inflicted by different moves, and the number of moves available is extremely limited.
Because the game developers had AJ, Christopher Daniels, and Joe as the models for designing the gameplay, everybody in the game moves like them. Even giant sacks of worthless sludge like Scott Steiner can flip out of a fireman’s carry for a counter, climb the Ultimate X cables with ease, and leap over the top rope to the arena floor. Where is the realism in that? Similarly, why does a punch from Steiner dole out the same amount of punishment as a punch from Alex Shelley and why is Sonjay Dutt as tough as Kurt Angle? Every character in this game is the same. There are no character ratings for traits like endurance, strength, speed, etc. It’s all very bland.
Finally, the story mode is full of holes. You spend most of your early career wrestling jobbers created with the game’s horrendous “create a wrestler” mode, and they get introductions such as “a man who lays his body on the line for you” and “a man who has left a trail of destruction in his wake.” Give me a break. While some of the skits in the story mode are entertaining (Eric Young trying to hit on Christy Hemme is hilarious,) the whole Suicide story is awful. “I don’t remember who I am, though I just told you the story of how I used to be TNA Champion before I got beat up by LAX. I guess I’m supposed to be a wrestler.”
Oy.
Finally, Ultimate X is the only gimmick match in the entire game. There is a falls-count-anywhere mode, but since every single match in the game is no DQ and no countout, and since you can’t go beyond the immediate ringside area, that barely counts as a different mode. You will find no “six sides of steel”, no ladder (or King of the Mountain) matches, no hardcore or “Monsters’ Ball” matches, nadda. That gets pretty boring afte ra while.
The game gets an A for graphics, a C+ for gameplay, a B- for fun, and a D- for features. Unfortunately, Midway only hit a single with this one, leaving TNA fans waiting for that home run.
I was a bit nervous when I bought this cause I didn’t know how it would work with the wii remotes. It took me a little bit to figure it out, but getting better as I go on. Not completely sure on how to unlock characters and some of the hints or tips they give relate to the basic controller and not the wii remote. I was bummed to find no knockouts and none of the specialty matches TNA is known for. Compared to the WWE games I’ve played so far, TNA is far better, even with the missing pieces.
This game is horrid. The controls are balls, the graphics are decent, The gameplay sucks, all the wrestlers have the same moves except for finishers, the match types suck, the AI players are super human Nazi’s, the 2 second entrances suck and over all this game is a total failure. Midway insulted TNA with this game.
Do not buy this game the controls are awful and the play is very repetitive. I thought with Tna putting alot of stock into there first game they would have actually played the game before they sold it. The controls for the wii make no sense and would have been better not making it for the wii. I rarely trash games butting getting this when it came out i got rid of it a month later and was happier taking the loss then letting it collect dust.
