The first thing you encounter when you pop this in your PS3 is a 20 minute install where practically the entire game is copied to the hard drive. Of the eight PS3 games I own so far (I am a new owner), this is the only game tat does this. The box notes that you need 4.75 GB of space for the installation. This wait was infuriating.
The graphics, sounds and control scheme are great. Dare I say it….much better than Smackdown vs Raw. The gameplay and presentation is a little lacking, though. If you are used to full ring entrances, you won’t find them here. Most last only about five seconds.
The lineup of wrestlers is not entirely reflective of TNA today, especially because the game does not include the TNA Knockouts.
Having been to a TNA taping in Orlando, I can say with certainty that this game looks exactly like the iMPACT! Zone.
I think this is a 4 star game with some room for improvement. I’d give it a solid “B”.

Now I bought this game simply out of curiosity and thought that being a wrestling fan I at least owe it to myself. I didn’t expect much and to be honest I was damned if I was going to enjoy it, and you know what? I love this game. What a lot of people are wrongly doing is comparing it to the Smackdown franchise, it’s not even the same company so why would they do such a thing? Sure, Smackdown has been going for something like 10 years and has a big fan base behind it, but that doesn’t make it the greatest wrestling series ever. The Smackdown games in my book are aiming to be too much of a wrestling simulation, rather than a computer game that you can just pick up and play.
Midway and TNA give us just that. A game that you can pick up and play at any time, it doesn’t have over complicated controls, nor does it endeavour to give you a thousand hours of playability with one playthrough, which is what some gamers seem to be after these days. I will admit it does lack some features which we would come to expect from a wrestling game or sports game in general. A season mode and create modes are completely absent. Some rules that you find in wrestling aren’t there, such as rope break or disqualification. The roster is relatively small, but what it lacks in size it makes up in perfection, which in my eyes what really makes this a winner.
I’m sure a lot of people would gladly have a go and say “graphics aren’t everything” and you’re right, they’re not. But what they are is still important, if you’re looking to give us a realistic looking game then graphics are imperative. Apart from the beauty, the playability is simple and effective. Although it does lack a lot of diversity when it comes to move groups ie. back grapples. I have to give Midway and TNA credit and say for a first shot, this game really works and is very enjoyable as a whole.
The Story mode is pretty cool and it tells the story of you, previously known as Suicide. He/You were the most unstoppable wrestler in TNA and off the cusp of winning the TNA Heavyweight title He/You are attacked by LAX. Beaten to a pulp and missing some vital parts of your memory like who you are and that you were once the biggest wrestler in TNA. You enter into the create a superstar phase and you effectively give Him/You plastic surgery. After surgery He/You rediscover the urge to wrestle and find out you’re pretty damn good at it, so you must now fight through the ranks to become the big name you once were.
I would advise that most people decide to form their own opinions on this one. One piece of advice I would offer you above everything else, however, is that you shouldn’t compare it in any way to Smackdown as it’s a completely different experience.

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 just had to sign onto my mother’s amazon account to review this game. I didn’t expect much from TNA Impact! considering it didn’t have the backing of past generation systems like WWE does with their products. Well I went over to a friends house and he told me he had just picked up the new TNA videogame. So we popped it into his PS3 and within about 10 minutes of gameplay, I was abosolutely amazed at how awesome this game is and I had to log on amazon.com and buy a copy for myself to own.
Graphics: The graphics are everything you’d expect and more out of a next-gen game. From the facial expressions down to the beads of sweat pouring down the wrestlers faces… it’s just amazingly realistic. 10/10
Controls: The controls are very simple which I enjoyed. I got pretty frustrated with the controls of the SVR series, where the controls would change completely every game and as someone else stated in an earlier review, TNA Impact! is not about trying to create a wrestling simulation. It’s about having fun and not taking 30 minutes to learn the controls. A very simple control scheme indeed. 10/10
Story: Now the story in any wrestling game can tend to be somewhat cliche and silly at times, but you do need to understand that if the story was at a stature of a game like Metal Gear Solid 4, then it would just blow. You have your story mode of course, such as any wrestling game should have, but this story is more complex then the SVR games story modes, which made it a major plus. 9.5/10
All in all, I’m basically saying that this game is definitly worth renting, if not buying. A definite buy in my eyes even for fans of wrestling who aren’t familiar with TNA wrestling. Some people have brought up places where this game might lack, which I disagree with. But if it does lack in certain spots, it makes up for it in others such as graphics and controls.
So go rent it. Guaranteed you won’t be dissapointed.

I’m a lifetime wrestling fan and have been playing wrestling video games since Wrestlemania on the NES. There was a ton of negative feedback on this game upon its release and I avoided the game for a long time because of that. Well, I finally decided to pick up the game after I found it used for $8 earlier today and I already want my money back.
The first thing that sticks out about this game are the nice graphics. The characters look nice and polished and the entrance clips, although very short, look good. This is the only positive aspect of the game. Gameplay is terrible in Impact. You have three attacks: Punch, Kick, and Grab. You can modify these attacks with a strong button, leaving your character with around ten moves total. In other words, gameplay is ridiculously repetitive. Also, it seems like almost all of the players in the game have the same moveset. I think just about every wrestler has the same punch, kick and chop animations as well as the same belly to belly suplex. There is only one weapon to be found in the game, a folding chair. There is only one special match type, Ultimate X, which is really nothing special.
On top of an extremely limited moveset and repetitive gameplay, this game is insanely difficult. I don’t have a problem with a video game being challenging, but playing Impact was downright frustrating. I play Smackdown vs Raw on Legend difficulty and while the game is difficult, it doesn’t make me want to pull out my hair. Impact makes me want to pull out my hair, fasten a noose out of it and hang myself. Practically every grapple move I did in the game was reversed. If I was lucky enough to pull of my finishing move, the computer character would simply kick out at two and then stand up and start wailing on me like there was no damage inflicted. I was completely unable to kick out of the computer’s pinfall attempts. You are supposed to be able to wiggle the analog sticks to kick out of pins, but I think there must be some type of black magic component to kicking out of a pinfall in this game, because I have wiggled the analog stick as fast as humanly possible and have never managed to get the pinfall meter more than halfway full. The storyline mode blows as you are forced to play as the character Suicide against a bunch of imaginary scrubs on your path to making it in the (not so) big time world of TNA.
Unless you’re the masochistic type, you really shouldn’t pick this game up. That is unless you’re planning on smashing it with a hammer.
