 Better than I thought September 15, 2008

To be honest with you I didn't know what to expect.
Since I was playing the PS2 version (not enough pennies to get a newer console yet) I was expecting something like the early Smackdown games Like Know Your Role, and that's pretty much what I got.
I agree with the guy you had a quick dig at the unlockable characters being the small jobbers that you do up against early on, felt like they could have been wrester versions of other Midway Characters.
Did feel a little let down by the fact you couldn't create your own wrestler, would've been fun to have WWE wrestlers in the TNA ring. Also, misses not beaing able to have title defences in the ehibition games. But then again, TNA are just finding their feet when it comes to gaming and I'm glad it's not a Smackdown clone.
If you want TNA wrestlers to have title defences best make them up on Smackdown, untill TNA2 comes out.
A good game is you forget about Smackdown vrs Raw
Good game for a first try September 14, 2008

Obviously this wasn't going to be as huge as Smackdown, they have a bigger staff, bigger budget and a lot more experience (they've been making them since 2000) so straight off the bat if you're going to compare the two then you are gonna be dissapointed as SD as alot more features and options to play with.
I think as a stand alone game, this is a fun game for any TNA fan, or any wrestling fan for that matter, unless you're one of those kids who are die-hard WWE fans and live and die by it and won't accept any other wrestling (check out the 1 star reviews for an example) and it lays a solid foundation for future games where the improvements will be made.
The one thing that I was dissapointed in was that there is NO CAW in the PS2 version for some reason, and the tag team matches can be quite frustrating as the A.I. is quite stupid and there is just one camera angle that is far away from the ring.
Apart from those tag matches, I have enjoyed the Story mode thus far, its something completely different and quite fun, although I can see alot of people being dissapointed that when they start the game up and see all the "Locked" characters they will excited that their favourite star might be there, only to find that they have unlocked some unknown jobber like "Bruiser Belencia" or "Demonic DJ" - Really, who is going to want to play as those characters??
 Midway are lazy, TNA shouldn't pay em for this '2 year' product September 14, 2008

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.
tna hits hard September 2, 2008
