Fun game, for a little while at least

I am a huge wrestling fan, so when I heard there was a game coming out based on TNA wrestling, I was hoping it would be good. Well, it is, sort of.
To start out, there are about 2 dozen wrestlers from TNA (including unlockables). There are no divas aka "knockouts" in this game, which is disapointing. Also, there is no TNA titles you can compete for in Exhibition mode.
There aren't many matches to choose from either. They include a Standard match (1vs1 or 3-Man or 4-Man), Tag Team, Submission match, FCA (only difference is the ability to pin outside the ring), & Ultimate X match (The most fun match).
The Story mode is interesting and allows you to create your our wrestler. The CAW mode is cool but not nearly as good as the SVR series. The story mode just has you play & win matches until you finally because TNA champion. It takes about 5-7 hours MAX. It is fun while it lasts.
Style points are earned through different moves you do in matches. You earn unlockable moves & some unlockable wrestlers with these. Which makes the replayabilty a little higher.
The control system is smooth & the graphics are nice.
The moves are very limited. There are the high flyers moveset & the power moveset. But everyone has their signature finshing move. Kicking out of attempting pins is hard to get used to but once you get used to it, there aren't many problems. It involves moving the left thumbstick back & forth as fast as you can.
You can download 3 playable characters from Xbox Live. They include...
~ Mike Tenay (Free)
~ Curry Man (100 MS points)
~ Petey Williams (100 MS points)
Online Play is very lacking. It only allows 2 players max. So only 1vs1 matchups. You can play Standard, FCA, Submission, or Ultimate X matches. You cannot use your created player or the any of the DLC characters. In Ranked matches if your opponent quits, you will not get the win for the online leaderboards and he will not get a loss either. Which is stupid.
All in all, this game is fun. But after you beat the story mode and/or unlock everything, you feel pretty much done with the game.
