DLC [TNA09]
==============================================================================
The only confirmed Downloadable Content at this point are the characters Curry
Man and Petey Williams.
The DLC characters are expected to be released around November 2008.
==============================================================================
Q&A [TNA10]
==============================================================================
Q: What is the fastest way to earn style points?
A: Use two controllers. As the first player, continually alternate moves
against the second player. Use top rope moves and ground grapples for the
most points.
Q: How do I unlock Mike Tenay?
A: The only known way to unlock Mike Tenay is through an Amazon.com pre-order
code. This code is an XBox Live Marketplace code, so once it is used it is no
longer good. Therefore, the code can not be shared between players.
Q: How do I get the "Shark in the Water" achievement?
A: Nobody currently knows how to unlock this achievement. The rumor is that
you must beat everyone, including Mike Tenay, with Shark Boy.
Q: I've won way more than 25 matches... Why hasn't "Mid-Card Contender"
unlocked?
A: All 25 wins must be in one sitting, so do not turn off the console when
you are going for the 25 wins.
Q: What wrestlers are not included in Impact
A: Lance Rock, Jimmy Rave, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Matt Morgan, The Knockouts,
Consequences Creed
Q: Did Colt Cabana really help in the development in this game?
A: Yes, he's in the credits as a motion capture artist.
==============================================================================
Gripes [TNA11]
==============================================================================
Below are a list of the most common gripes with the TNA Impact game.
Only one weapon (chair).
In XBox Live matches, the opponent can pause and quit during a match and not
take a loss. This frequently occurs when the opponent is being pinned.
Can not use Create a Players (CAWs) online
Only 5 Create a Player (CAW) slots
No Scorpion Death Lock or Angle's Ankle Lock
