Pros: this game created suicide character and would later be featured on TNA tv, this game has ultimate x match and features christy hemme only in cutscnes in story mode but that's where the praise stops.
Cons: movesets are missing - every character plays the same except for the finisher, real life ppv arenas are missing, the Knockouts are missing, TNA's iconic match types are missing even basic match types and other modes are missing. Heck there's no toggle match rules to turn on or off DQ, there's also no ai referee in this game. The kick out system is complete trash
this whole game feels like a paid beta it's so unfinished and the story mode is generic at best that they choose to milk for later entries ports so even that got stale real quick. Oh and u can't fight on the ramp and on the stage entrance and also backstage.
Like where's match types like: Barbed Wire Massacre, King of the Mountain, Monster's Ball, Six Sides of Steel, Steel Asylum, Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match, Cuffed in the Cage, Doomsday Chamber of Blood, Electrified Steel Cage, Lethal Lockdown, Queen of the Cage, Xscape Match, Full Metal Mayhem, Match of 10,000 Tacks, Prison Yard Match, Reverse Battle Royal, Battle Royale, Best of 3 Falls, Blindfold Match (Prince of Darkness Match), Bullrope Match, Empty Arena Match, First Blood, Ladder Match, Iron Man, Last Rites Match, No DQ, Pole Matches, Revenge Match, Special Referee, smh Street Fight, Stretcher Match, Tables Match, Weapons Match, Deadly Draw, Hangman's Horror, Hard 10, House of Fun, MMA Match & Sadistic Madness.
The only available matches that's in this game are the very basic like singles, handicap, Ultimate X, falls count anywhere, falls count anywhere tag, tag team, free for all, and submission. The only time u get to see the knockouts is on tna extras menu in the highlight reels during the time this game was still in development it plays a taped show of a tna gauntlet match.

G. James, Chase Stevens & Havok.
The game engine and real photo scan showed this game's potential but it feels rush and not alot was put into it only 28 wrestlers in the game the only available matches that's in this game are the very basic like singles, handicap, Ultimate X, falls count anywhere, falls count anywhere tag, tag team, free for all, and submission. The only time u get to see the knockouts is on tna extras menu in the highlight reels during the time this game was still in development it plays a taped show of a tna gauntlet match.
Trash game hopefully when someone else get the game license for a new TNA they'll do the game justice for once. So disappointing i still play the game away bcuz it's the only console TNA game that TNA have.
