Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — Kevin Nash, Sting, Booker T and Abyss face each other in a match. The attacks in the game were selected via a menu system at the bottom of the screen. The core of the game is its story mode, which allowed players to create their own wrestler and take him through his professional wrestling career. Players started out backyard wrestling and worked their way through the ranks of TNA, fighting and interacting with other wrestlers and crafting either a heroic or villainous personality. The player character was gradually leveled up to gain experience points, which could be used to acquire new moves. In addition to the story mode, a quick match option was available offering several different match types and the ability to play as actual members of the TNA roster. During matches, wrestlers took turns attacking. Moves were selected via a menu and could be used in combos. Powerful special moves were also available and could be executed through quick time events.
