Midway leads a wrestling revolution
Words: Shane Patterson, GamesRadar US
We were only able to sample one-on-one, but were promised common wrestling staples like tag team, create-a-wrestler and weapons modes would make an appearance in addition to Story mode where your created beefcake climbs the ranks to become TNA Champion. Not to mention TNA-specific specialty matches like Ultimate X and King of the Mountain are almost guaranteed to be included as well. According to Brock Feldman, the lead programmer on Impact, female wrestlers might be unlockable in addition to the 20+ cast and oh yes, there will be blood. And don’t worry, online grappling is a lock.
Impact’s currently only about 50-60 percent done, with a number of kinks that need to be worked out in addition to properly implementing all other modes. One aspect that is somewhat distressing at this early stage is that wrestlers may share some of their moves based on weight class. With a smaller roster than WWE fans are accustomed to, this might lead to repetitiveness. In any case, what we saw of Impact was solid and impressive. Watch this space in the next few months for more details on TNA Impact.
