The first Total Nonstop Action Wrestling game based on the weekly television show TNA iMPACT! , lets you enter the six-sided ring as you take control of one of 25 TNA stars such as Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, Rhino, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Sting, and Christian Cage. Each wrestler comes alive thanks to their participation in motion capturing and allowing actual scans of themselves to be used for the game in place of hand-painted textures for extra realism and detail.
The gameplay focuses on fast-paced action while offering multiple match types such as Standard, Tag Team, Free For All, Ultimate X, Submission, Handicap, and Falls Count anywhere. You can play alone, compete against friends at home, or online. The game also features a story mode where you create your very own TNA wrestler with customisable costumes, move sets and back-story of a former champion wrestler.
Unfortunately, due to limitations on the Wii console, the create-a-wrestler and online functions are not available. Despite this, TNA iMPACT! still delivers an exciting wrestling experience for fans of the genre.
