I absolutely loved this game as a kid, before you were old enough to look up reviews online you just got better at the shit controls and didn't think about it too much
I mean, that's being a kid for ya. Especially back in the day when you had to rely on magazines to give you some idea about games. Or just relying entirely on if the box looked cool. You'd get a game, and you'd deal with it, whether it was bad or not, because that's the game you got. I mean, one of my favorite games growing up, was Enter the Matrix on PS2. And by all accounts, that game is considered a pile of hot garbage. The graphics weren't great, the animations were pretty bad, the controls kinda sucked, the story was nonsense. But I liked Matrix, saw the game in the store, and begged my parents to get it for me. I got it, played it, and ended up really enjoying it, despite all the jank. I rented countless games from Blockbuster that were horrible, but I put up with it, because what else was I gonna do? Make my parents drive back to Blockbuster to rent me another game? No, I was gonna play the hell out of the game I got, and I was gonna force myself to like it. And most of the time, I figured out how to work around the bad parts and did actually enjoy it.
That Scott Steiner promo. I don't care if it dragged. It was priceless, mainly for the blonde interviewer's (what was her name? I forgot) confusion, as well as Petey Williams' confusion, while Rhaka Khan just stood there and tried to play along.
Due to being able to reverse reversals, you can actually play against someone OP like Jeff Jarrett and literally have 2 straight minutes of perfect reversal timing resulting in 2 minutes of the wrestlers just twitching until you or the AI fails to reverse another reversal.
You're actually right ,a game gathering many indies would be money,plus if it was made by THQ ,a GM mode would be fire .Since there's no meaning in the brand slip ,hell there will be meaning in companies split
Yep. There's a reason it's become a (borderline over-used) meme on any wrestling related corner of the internet. It's probably one of the top 5 most famous wrestling promos of all time right now, and that's coming out of a company that hardly anybody watched. 😆
In all fairness, the devs did learn from this game and used the same engine to make WWE All-Stars. Also, Sal Divita created Mortal Kombat... and Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game.
“And other times you hit the button with perfect timing and your rewarded with a ticking pile driver....” ....I’ve had this problem with 2k games for years.....
The main problems for me are : - no female wrestlers - the roster is way too small , just 25 wrestlers and when you start you get just 18 - the lack of game modes - the entrances are too short - the lack of moves I would not really complain that much if it would be a 100% female TNA Impact! game with 25 Knockouts .
"The game nobody asked for"? Wrestling fans were waiting for a TNA game.... and marked out when the game came out... unfortunately the game annoyed a lot of fans. Too bad they never made up for it.... :(
Ya I thought it was a well done video but a stupid title. I didn't click on it for a while because of just that. He must not have played wrestling games during that era
I hate that "nobody asked for" stuff, like he speaks for everyone, I wanted it, i mean he's right in a way cos I never actually asked for it but I did want it lol
Game was solid for what it is, clearly rushed and low replay value but what's there is fine. It is cheap ($5 on any platform) so you'll get your moneys worth if you buy it
From what I gather, TNA iMPACT! was a good game that should've been a great game. You wanna know why it wasn't a great game? Because of the wonky controls, the lack of match types, and a few other minor boneheaded decisions by the developers, those of which I know nothing about...
When I was a kid I got a lot of fun out of this game. The finishers were animated really well. I loved performing a finisher. Abyss' black hole slam was a fave.
Man this game was dope playing as Suicide him getting brutal beaten by LAX starting from the bottom again facing the line of AJ,Joe,even tagging against Motor City maaaan this game was fun back then
Y’all trippin this game was straight ass. the fact the price dropped from $60 to $30 the very next day said a lot I bought it just to hold me over until SVR 09 come out and quickly realized this game was dumb only decent thing decent thing about it was graphics for the time The story was dumb The gameplay was horrible straight Horrendous Limited reversals limited Move-set barely a creation suite. when I tried to trade it in the next day after the laughed at me and said I I told you not to buy it or wait til the next day when the price dropped to 30 The trade in value was $18 smh 🤦🏾♂️ y’all on some other shit this game was dumb and couldn’t hold a candle to the 2kgames if I don’t like WWEgames just say that but don’t be ridiculous. 😂😂
Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I got this as a Christmas present from my grandma the year it came out, and I gotta say this shit was super fun to play.
Lol I said the same thing. Outside of Capcom fighting games, good X-Men games before Legends were very few and far between. Next Dimension was a shining beacon in those dark ages. This guy needs to lay off the Reddit energy and do some homework.
I did ask my mom to buy me this game for Christmas. And she bought me it. It was a good game. But could've put more weapons in the game. And more special matches. And other moves.
It might not have had all the features, but for a first time TNA game I thought it was pretty good. It couldn't stand any of the SVR games and never bothered with the 2k ones. My preference is the more arcade-y type wrestling games as opposed to a more simulator type.
It scares me that you can ONLY play this game on PS3 or 360. I own copies for both systems... I collect wrestling games. They're so rare now adays. We had it good
I thought Kurt Angle was Joe Rogan in the thumbnail for a second. Also, how have I never seen that Scott Steiner promo before? 😂😂Absolute thing of beauty.
This game was actually amazing. When it came out it was honestly way better then WWE was at the time. I remember that being my opinion and all my friends.
I absolutely loved this game. It had it's faults and even though it was "too arcadey" by manys standards, I had alot of fun with this title. I wasn't expecting anything great out of fledgling a company and a decent game developer, but it was a good start.
I remember playing this game when it come out and I remember the match with Jarrett at the end of the story mode being infuriating and had to resort to spam striking because he would just reverse anything else
This videos are verry funny i cannot belive that this channel have only 1k sub, man i suare that i was thinking after i see the first video that this channel have a lot more... the quality of the videos are awesome, and verry entertainment, good job man keep do what you do!👏
The game gave some hope at the time, i remember waiting for it to release. We had stopped getting new games other than 1 wwe game a year at that point so this releasing was great. Good fighting style, just needed expanding on. Haven't even watched the video, don't need some dude telling me about a game i've used up multiple times
I just want to let everyone know that Scott Steiner’s math actually adds up. I don’t know how.
Well, he did go to the University of Michigan which is one of the best public universities in the U.S. I imagine they taught him something.
@@xsteveconwayx I don’t think they taught him this...

Best of all time Scott was son funny
the best thing is that if you do the math, he is correct

As was Sting taking off his fake Sting mask, to reveal that he was Sting. Can't forget that one.

Hello mister larry big fan
Thanks for the further insight Larry
Ah! The man who brightens my day just by saying "Hello you!" has a point.
That explains why some of the animations the game had were also seen in WWE All-Stars, I always wondered why was that.
Hi Papa Larry
Steiner maths is to this day the greatest promo in the history of the sport
“And other times you hit the button with perfect timing and your rewarded with a ticking pile driver....”

It's not unfortunately

The main problems for me are :
- no female wrestlers
- the roster is way too small , just 25 wrestlers and when you start you get just 18
- the lack of game modes

Scott Steiner's maths promo is still gold. Amazing.
I played this when I was little with my brothers and we loved it. Underrated honestly.
Can I just say I loved how Sting reversed Samoa Joe’s move into a Codebreaker!!
10:47
Never played this game but according to this video, it only needed a few gameplay improvements to be a very good one, doesn't look that bad
It really just needed a better control scheme. Everything else was great.
Game was solid for what it is, clearly rushed and low replay value but what's there is fine. It is cheap ($5 on any platform) so you'll get your moneys worth if you buy it
Controls were shite, story mode was great
From what I gather, TNA iMPACT! was a good game that should've been a great game. You wanna know why it wasn't a great game? Because of the wonky controls, the lack of match types, and a few other minor boneheaded decisions by the developers, those of which I know nothing about...
When I was a kid I got a lot of fun out of this game. The finishers were animated really well. I loved performing a finisher. Abyss' black hole slam was a fave.
Legend has it, Steiner is still tryna make his math work.
That Scott Steiner promo was beautiful

The math promo was great but my favorite Steiner promo is from BFG 2007.

Man this game was dope playing as Suicide him getting brutal beaten by LAX starting from the bottom again facing the line of AJ,Joe,even tagging against Motor City maaaan this game was fun back then
The story was fantastic
Too bad about the controls
the game was literally fire havent watched the vid yet but if he bashes it hes an idiot and im disliking
Back then the name Suicide didn’t even seem offensive also, sucks how things have changed.
"The game nobody asked for."
Untrue. I bought this game on day 1.
I had it entirely beaten by day 2.
The game nobody asked for this looks good not the best but good
this is the wrestling game I most played in my ps2, very underrated
The Scott promo in the beginning was nothing but beautiful 🤣
Scott Steiner is literally an incredible worker, one of the best
Someone my Uncle likes in Wrestling Umong most and that’s Big Daddy Mathamatics Scott Steiner the uncle of NXT Champion Bronn Steiner Or Breakker
This game wasn’t even that bad gameplay wise I’ll take it before some of those awful wwe2k games
agreed but it lacked alot of features that the wwe games had at the time.

The worst thing in TNA impact was fucking reversal system it was too hard to do and A.I. reverse every single move you does to them
I remember rage quitting the game a bit for that exact reason
Popping this on to get ready for Sacrifice tonight
Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I got this as a Christmas present from my grandma the year it came out, and I gotta say this shit was super fun to play.
The graphics at that time was great, but the problem I had was not enough wrestlers and no titles that you can fight for in play now mode
Bro, Wu Tang Enter the Shaolin and X Men Dimension are both unironically praised games, lmfao
