When I saw the graphics for this game I had high hopes for it. Then when it was released and the initial reviews came out my excitement and hopes were dashed. So when I decided to play the game myself and realize that my hopes and excitement being gone wasn't a knee jerk reaction.
From a graphics standpoint the game is pretty solid. Maybe one of the better ones I've seen. No complaints if any there. My problems are more with A the grappling system, B the amount of moves, and C a combo of the entrances combined with the available roster at first.
Now my complaints for the grappling system is maybe that's to simplistic which might because of my second problem. I'm use to Smackdown vs. Raw. So to go from that to this was a huge shell shock and not a good one.
The move set is completely lacking. You have a ddt, belly to belly, a hip toss. There just isn't a lot of variety. It makes the game repetitive. I used Sting at first and his best moves were a belly to belly and a Death Valley Driver.
My last problem is like i said a combination of the entrances and the initial roster. You only get the start of a entrance and that's it. Which is annoying because of like I said I'm guess I'm babied by Yukes and SvR. The other thing is the roster is just really small to start playing with. Now obviously I watch TNA so I wasn't expecting a huge list but I was hoping for more then what we get at the start.
Overall I'd say it's a okay first try. If there is a second Impact and I hear they are working on improving graphics I'll probably not even bother playing it because the graphics aren't the problem. They are the best part of the game. The problem is a major lack of variety in the game. It just made me really, really disappointed and I had to rate it a 1 because with what SvR has done and is doing, for TNA and Midway to put that out is a embarrassing effort, first time or not.
