Total Non-stop Action is all be it a very poor TV series but when I saw the game so cheap I decided to pick it up as I am a big fan of the smack down VS raw series of games. First putting in the game I realised that it took a lengthy installation process but this is done to reduce in-game loading time, however when I made a new character for the story loading the character took 10 minutes (and this has to be done every time you load the story) then it took another 5 to load were I was in the story and then it took another 5 minutes or so before I was in my first match. And it takes around 30 minutes to load an online match if you can find one. But ...  Read the complete review

Searching through the shops of London, namely GAME, HMV etc.. I was looking in all honesty to find another game rather than TNA Impact. I was not looking for the newest Smackdown Vs RAW game as I have grown bored with this franchise. It has turned into nothing but a gimmick. I was searching for Fire Pro Wrestling Returns.

Perfect... where I was at with my recordings was around the time the game had been released so it felt completely new, even if I purchased it second hand (Re-Play) for £12.

TNA IMPACT the game was supposed to be the answer to WWE's smackdown series and while it did not surpass its compeditor its still a very good game, plus smackdown has 10 titles under its belt where as this is TNAs first. Graphically the game is very very good, all characters look like thier real life counterparts, althought whilst playing there is some issues with collision detection. The wrestlers move freely with over exagerated responses to being hit and moves being applied (much like TNA) Gameplay wise its very smooth and fast paced, the commentary is good and adds atmosphere, my biggest gripe is the lack of moves, each wrestler has a very ...  Read the complete review

Note: also appears at Freeola.com, written under my name "Reefer" there. Thanks :) ~~~ TNA Wrestling have began to establish themselves as the go-to alternative to the dominant WWE brand of "sports entertainment" in recent years. With this comes their attempt to rival WWE's lauded "Smackdown vs Raw" series, with recently released grappler "TNA Impact!". It must be said that Impact is something of an empty-headed venture when compared to its rival counterpart - there is a severe poverty of wrestlers, game modes and other little nuances here that THQ so excellently capture with each WWE game. That ...  Read the complete review
