Yes, yes of course. Well believe it or not, TNA did something right. They developed a pretty awesome iPhone application. It's a game, but not a conventional wrestling game. It's more of an RPG, a'la Final Fantasy. Sure, there aren't androgynous teens battling corrupt androgynous governments, and we can't imagine Asian teens blowing off school to play it, but the game still has it's merits.
Anyway, we aren't ones for "grades" here, so let's just run down some of the good and bad points.
The Good:
Surprisingly fun and simple gameplay-
Your wrestler has a hit point meter and does damage with various attacks he unlocks. He also has three defensive manuevers that can be used once per match, but can be refilled if you're awesome enough. Manuvers use the touch screen to good effect.
Fun, cartoony graphics-
Seriously, look at this and tell us you don't want to at least try it.
We wonder if digital Kevin Nash is injured just walking.
Is that ref presenting himself?
We love how everyone is ridiculously jacked except for Samoa JoeSound-
Real audio clips of entrance music and crowd chants. Nothing amazing, but certainly a nice touch.
Dry sense of humor-
There is a story mode where you build a jobber into a champion. And you can be a face or heel, depending on the story options you choose. So there will be instances where your character will cut a promo in the ring, when the crowd will react with the most markish responses. For example, if your character is a heel, he may call Christy Hemme a "dog." The crowd will heckle back "Boo!!!" and "A dog is a terrible thing to compare her too!"
It could be Engrish. It could be intentional. All we know is that it cracks us up.
Price-
Five bucks can't be beat.
And for The Bad:
Majority of roster needs to be unlocked-
Seriously, who wants to play an exhibition match between Abyss and Eric Young?
Game crashs about half the time.
Yea, so except for the fact that the game doesn't work, we whole heartedly recommend it! It's kind of like TNA in real life!
