The Game * The iMPACT video game will feature 25+ TNA performers that are all customizable within the game. * AJ Styles and Samoa Joe served as consultants for the game and both are said to be huge fans of the AKI based No Mercy type gameplay. Create Modes * Character Creation mode will be a big feature in the game. Each profile will have 16 CAW slots. * There will not be create a entrance. There will be the regular roster’s intros and 10 or so generic to choose from. * Custom move sets, wrestling styles and ring attires * You cannot modify in-game wrestlres. However, you should be able to copy them into CAW mode and edit them there. * According to Midway CAWS should look just as real as the preloaded wrestlers. Match Types * The Six-Sided ring will be included in the game and will feature the TNA specialty matches Six sides of steel, The Ultimate X, King of The Mountain, tag team matches and Fatal Four Ways. * Midway is teasing that the game will feature "Online Tournaments". * Other online game modes include Tag Team bouts, Ultimate X, King Of The Mountain, Fatal Four-ways and more! * You can defend titles in exhibition mode * Tables are in. Ladders are questionable. Gameplay * The game will have around 2500 moves. * The game will only feature four wrestlers on the screen at once, online and offline. * Weight detection will be in. Midway promises game play like no other. * Area specific damage is in and should play a major role in game play. * The facial expressions WILL CHANGE based on what is happening to the wrestler. * Run-Ins will enter the ring for thity seconds or so then exit or remain ringside they will only help for thirty seconds. * The DPad on the Xbox (this will vary based on each system) controls run-ins. It will also allow you to have a “second wind” and further more perform “dirty moves.” However these will only be able to be done once a match each. * Tag Team Moves are in, 3D is in. * You should be able to do wrestler vs. wrestler. IE Kurt Angle vs. Kurt Angle. Story Mode * A story mode will be included into the game that is said to be similar to WWE video games. Story mode will allow players to create and choose a career path based on decisions that they take during the storyline. Gamers will be able to choose the look of their character as well as their managers who will specialize in different fighting styles. Choose a career path by making crucial decisions and teaming up with the right factions. * Season mode will be based fully on the created wrestlers, there will be no season for the standard roster. It starts with the player waking up after plastic surgery in Mexico and then deciding to enter wrestling. * Hire a manager to train you via mini-games that allow you to build abilities, unlock new moves and enhance your appearance. * Unlockable content is a yes. Money will be used to unlock things. Arenas * There will be eight arenas, including Japan, America & England, each with different crowd atmospheres. * Arenas are unlocked by playing story mode. * You cannot fight on the stage or leave the ring area. Other Info * Wrestlers should have two attires in multi colors. * Each different console version WILL have exclusives, yet to be announced. * Downloadable content is in the planning stages. Something Midway would like to do but are not sure if it will make it. * The game WILL NOT feature any type of referee. * A demo will be available in the spring - Caws.ws Schweeeeeeet

I Think TNA iMPACT Sux No Six Sides Of Steel, No Elevation X, The Entrances Are Crap & They Only Have 1 Weopen A Steel Chair WWE Is Better

MrAshWoodsworth- 10-09-2008

I really enjoy the gameplay. Sure there is alot of stuff they can work on, but multiplayer on TNA is awesome.

InTheZone- 10-09-2008

I really enjoy the gameplay. Sure there is alot of stuff they can work on, but multiplayer on TNA is awesome. That's exactly what stood out to me too. Having all of those bells and whistles, Create-A-Bootlace and so forth is worth nothing to me, if the gameplay isn't fun; Smackdown! gameplay isn't fun at all to me. It's like having a car with all the expensive modifications, sixteen speakers, a microwave inside and flames painted on 'cause it looks cool... oh, but it drives terribly, so much so that you'll undoubtedly hit other cars and will struggle to lug it around. It's pointless having all the trimmings if you can't put them in practise with solid gameplay.

TNA Blows, so i gather the would as well

killswitch- 10-10-2008

Even if you don't like TNA I don't see how that would make the game bad. I find basketball boring but I like basketball games.

KennedyIsGod- 10-11-2008

I'm not a video game player, I was considering getting it for the two free dvds, but...yeah.
