The clips they've showed on TV look pretty awesome to me. But then again, my favorite wrestling games were and are The Main Event and Mania Challenge. That was in the '80s.

I'd be impressed if they weren't releasing a watered down version for the PS2 and Wii. Looks like I'm stuck with RAW vs SD 2009... I can live without the Create an Entrance or Finisher, but not Create-a-wrestler!!

I'll have to play Impact at my friend's house as he'll end up with both games for his 360. Maybe in the first download pack they'll include the 6 sides of Steel cage match! For a game they've spent so much time on you'd think they'd have included the cage match.

Seriously, I am excited.

I was talking to some friends the other day and this really does look like it will be a big seller.

Lots of interest from wrestling fans and gamers alike.

There is no CAW for Wii or PS2. The description applies to PS3 and 360.

On the plus side for the PS3 and 360 there are apparently only 5 slots for created wrestlers. Big deal there... The only GOOD thing for those systems with this game is that you can download new TNA characters along with other odds and ends like matches and hopefully music, arenas, weapons and the such.

I'll wait for next years game.

It is a delay from Midway which means it isn't Gamestop's fault

Is the game worth buying? Or should I wait for the price to drop?

Well for PS2 I would say wait til the price drops, it's a good game and all but I got bored of it fast and it's not great however it is better that SVR 07 & 08 combined. Not sure about 360 or PS3 though.

A quote from a friend of mine....

"The game controls in Impact make me yearn for the retarded control setup of Smackdown '08."

...And SVR '07 was pretty damn good, although '06 was better.

So much flesh...so little time.

Does anyone know anything about the delay with the Wii version of the game? If the PS2 version has CAW then it was a last minute add on. I'm wondering if the same can be said about the Wii version.

Either way I hear the PS3 and 360 versions only have 5 CAW spots. I thought I read that somewhere on the Burning Hammer, but I may be wrong.

I hope to see next year's game be a huge improvement now that they'll have an idea of how unhappy or happy people were with this version.
