 Midway are lazy, TNA shouldn't pay em for this '2 year' product September 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Bad points:
Not a full roster for the time the game was made, let alone an up to date one.
Minimal entrances, no ramp walk etc.
Scatty commentry, loose and irritating.
Very poor collision detection.
No create a wrestler option.
Career mode can only be played with some generic chap in a suit, that looks a bit like Spawn.
No blood, only weapon is a chair, no tables.. no hardcore matches, first blood etc.
No cage match.
No signiture taunts for any wrestler.
No female wrestlers.
Tag team partners enter seperate from one another.
Cheap a.i. and difficulty, you get hurt way more then your opponent does from your attacks.
Career mode is full of generic, useless fake wrestlers that your required to defeat.. they don't even have ring entrances.
No referee.
Yes there is a reversal system, but there is no skill.. just button bash the reversal button and you'll be successful.. no skill required.
You can't win belts and defend them, so far I've won the tag titles and not even seen them on screen.
Pretty much identical move sets for each wrestler, that's just Midway disrespecting A.J and Samoa for getting in those motion capture suits, what a waste..
No excuse Midway, you suck.
Good points:
Fight as some of your favourite TNA stars.. obviously.
Submission moves require 3-button sequence inputs to continue/get out from the move, fun in multiplayer.
Pretty decent animation for PS2 and wrestlers look like they should.
The story mode cut-scenes are half-decent, sometimes funny with Kevin Nash as your manager.
The game is fun enough but is shockingly lacking. I don't care if it's TNA's first game, that's a banal point of argument.. Midway were lazy and getting paid for mediocre at best end product. I love TNA wrestling and much prefer it to WWE. This game reaks of rushed movie to game merchandise quality..
I'm glad I own the game, it is still fun to fight TNA stars. Certainly not worth the asking price on the next-gen consoles.
not as good as expected September 14, 2008

overall good game, good gameplay, nice grapics and all that.
But many disappointments:
lack of match types
no tna knockouts
cant create wrestlers
no title matches
awkward camera views in tag team matches
too easy to complete total gameplay so far about 4 hours and early 60% complete
no blood!
depends on what you look for in a game i suppose, if all your interested in is wrestling with good graphics then great but its over too soon for me.
once ive completed it i dont think ill ever play it again whereas with smackdown ive never got bored of it because there are so many things you can do with it.
arcade style fighting September 19, 2008

ok so i played a few matches in exhibition before hitting story mode, controls are straightforward, no multiple button fiddling as with smackdown vs raw, that said, the computer tends to reverse charatcer specific moves all the time, no option to turn this off, can get quite annoying especially when you have battered your opponent.
this game is definitely a button basher, found that its more effective to punch n kick strongly then keep trying to pull of slightly more skilled moves, even on easy the computer is fairly relentless with you, good difficulty, does make winning a match more satisfying.
story mode is silly but fun stuff, only a few matches in tho.
anyways these types of games are meant to be played against humans not computers & if you dont want a techy game then this is perfect for you
Tna Impact not so much a impact September 15, 2008

The game Tna impact is not such a impact you cant creat your own characters in the game there are no titles.
The graffics are great with sweating and stuff and the story mode is quite good but overall the game is not that great
 Disappointing November 10, 2008
The PS2 version of this game was one of the most disappointing gaming experiences I've had in years. After all the hype and build up, it turned out to be a below average fighting game that simply doesn't reflect the action of TNA.
One of the best things about watching TNA is the variety of moves and counter-moves on display, but this game provides you with extremely limited choices, with only the finishers being unique to each character. Unlike Smackdown vs. Raw, there's nothing to give you the feel of playing as a unique character and, on the PS2 at least, there's no option to create your own wrestler.
The story mode is really easy to complete and features a number of bland jobbers, who could easily have been replaced with real life TNA stars. For a company with such a huge roster, it would have been easy to include more real life wrestlers rather than the likes of the cliched clowns, masked Mexicans and military characters to be found here.
I love TNA, but this game has little replay value, with barely any match choices and no action backstage or outside the main arenas. The Ultimate X match is a nice feature, but once again, fails to capture the excitement of its real-life counterpart.
Time to go back to the drawing board Midway, as I for one will be sticking to Smackdown vs Raw.
