TNA Impact (Xbox 360)

As far as wrestling games go, there's not that many that are really outstanding. In fact, I'd go as far as saying the last great wrestling game was WWF Wrestlefest, which was in the arcades in the early 90s! It may be a dated game in today's 'standards', but that game was very playable and you could get into it straight away, take part in tag-team matches and royal rumbles with ease, yet mastering the game required a lot of time and skill to do so. Today's wrestling games go more for graphics than anything else. It would be great if the developers realised that graphics are not the most important factor in games - mostly wrestling games and sport games. It's ...  Read the complete review

TNA Impact was a game I had been looking forward to for a long long time, the first time I played it I enjoyed the novelty of going some non WWE wrestlers, been a long time since we have had the chance to go the likes of Sting etc and not had the chance to play as some of the better wrestlers on the scene today such as Styles & Joe.

TNA iMPACT! is the first Video Game from the Innovative Wrestling Promotion which is Total Non-Stop Action. Im not going to mess about with all of this, though. Im going to give it to you straight. TNA iMPACT! IS disapointing. Its storymode is basic and very short. Once that is done, the games playability is at an end.

There arent enough match types to want to keep playing the game, and the roster, once youve completed the storymode, is full of no-name jobbers. But, it isnt all bad. Many slate this game for being horrible, but what ...  Read the complete review

Unfortunately for wrestling fanatics, this game is much more enjoyable to read on paper than it is to be seen played on your TV screen. I used to be a huge fan of wrestling, these games always provide months upon months of fun with endless enjoyment, whether just grabbing weapons to brutally hit your friends or customizing your new character to be a 6ft tall, green skinned alien freak that has a stupid amount of chest hair. This game however, has nothing that really keeps you hooked and wanting more. It has very limited options you can choose from to customize your character and the playability is very dull. Not everything is ...  Read the complete review
