TNA IMPACT XBOX 360 PREVIEW |
|
| |
TNA iMPACT!
is Midway’s first entry to the video game
wrestling arena since the release of WWF
Wrestlemania more than a decade ago. The game
will feature some of your favorite wrestlers
from TNA with names such as Scott Steiner, A. J.
Styles, Samoa Joe, and Booker T to name a few.
Wrestlers are divided into three primary
fighting styles: Grappler, Acrobat, and Brawler.
One of the biggest highlights of the game is the
Ultimate X match, which is TNA’s most revered
competition. Think of it as Smackdown’s ladder
match where the objective is to snatch the brief
case at the top; but instead of using a ladder,
you climb up to the rope, make your way to the
red X that is suspended high about the center of
the ring using the “monkey bar” technique. When
you get to the center, a mini-game will pop-up
that lets you play with the sliding meter.
You’ll need to get that magic number to retrieve
the prize behind the red X.
Needless to say, TNA iMPACT! will run at a fast
pace of 60 frames per second. You can imagine
how frantic the action can get at this speed! So
far, there are talks about having an actual
story mode instead of the regular career mode as
well as a lineup of 25 of the best TNA
grapplers. Midway promises to deliver some
intense actions in the ring by using trigger
buttons to create powerful strikes and grapples,
not to mention character-specific finishers. Of
course, there is going to be a number of tag
team matches but details on that have not been
revealed to us. Though the developers are still
working out the kinks of the game, the animation
is operating quite smoothly. Wrestlers move
really fast, giving you a true-to-life wrestling
experience. Based on what we have seen so far,
we’re optimistic that this will turn out to be a
good wrestling game. TNA iMPACT! is scheduled to
release in September 2, 2008. |
