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.
