I played this game as a young child, and 7 years later it still holds a special place for me. The music is awesome, and the enemies, while slightly repetitive, were nonetheless a good challenge at times. Two features I disliked about it were the option to skip to any level at the beginning (providing no satisfaction unless you started from level 1) and the scarcity of levels. If Konami added maybe 3 or 4 more levels to this game, it would surely be one of the greats.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan stays true to the once popular cartoon series and comic books. Each of the turtles are playable and all of their major enemies have been included. Increasing your life meter can be done by grabbing the turtles' favorite food, pizza. Gameplay is better than average. Each turtle has their appropriate weapon. Every weapon has the same power so the longer weapons of Leonardo and Donatello are the most useful. One button is used for attack and the other for jumping. Jumping seems a bit tight, meaning you can't get too far on a jump. Jumps are best used to go straight up to avoid enemies or making a hop on to the next step up. One other attack is done by crouching and pressing the attack button. This will throw a shuriken. Levels are broken down into stages. When you lose a turtle on a level and have others left you will be brought back to the beginning of the stage you were last on. No continues are offered so you will have to make it through without losing all 4 turtles. Before each level or when a turtle goes down you have the option of selecting another. It is probably best to begin the game with either Raphael or Michaelangelo so you can have the guys with longer weapons for the more difficult levels.
Many small enemies have been created for the game. Your majority of attackers though are from the television series and comic books. Those would be the Foot Soldiers and the Mousers. Most can be defeated with one hit so the challenge should not be too difficult. The whole game takes place while you progress to the right. Graphics look really good. Level backgrounds are detailed enough to give you an impression of where you are. Characters all look like themselves. The turtles can only be identified form each other by their weapons. Sounds are okay but all of your attacks sound the same. You can't hear a difference between a katana blade and a bo staff. If you are a fan of the turtles then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan should not disappoint you. For those who don't care for the turtles then this game doesn't offer anyhting you can't find somewhere else. As far as action games go this one is not too different from the majority.

This is a great game, nice big graphics for Gameboy. There are only four or five levels and barely any foot soldiers. You start out each level by picking a turtle to play as, if they die, then you pick another. Its not all that challenging, and it can probably be beaten in a day or a week. The graphics are a bit bland, because it came out so early in Gameboy's history. Its more like black on white, no gray.

Remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game Konami created? Well, it just so happened to lead to lots of other games in the series, like the NES TMNT, Turtles in Time, Tournament Fighters, etc. Well, Around those times, Konami created a Game Boy TMNT game. At first, I had no idea what the heck it would be like. Would it be a platformer like the first NES game? And then it was released.....and blew us off with awesomism.

Fall of the Foot Clan is a beat 'em up, similar to the arcade games, but with the look of a sidescroller. The action is much more atraightfoward and simpler compared to other games (Most enemies die in one hit), but it's also very well-polished. The graphics and music are extremely appealing to the eye/ear. In fact, some tunes sound like they could be right at home on the Sega Genesis. Konami really knew how to rock out that Game Boy sound chip!

The game may be short, as it has 5 stages (And for some reason, it has a stage select, meaning you can just go to Stage 5 to beat the game), and it may have the Turtles put on an awkward smile throughout the game, but all in all, Fall of the Foot Clan is an epic classic!

Since the game came out early in the gameboy's life cycle it is no surprise at how simple the overall gameplay can be. Basically its the usual sidescrolling beat 'em up. Which is not a bad thing if maybe it had a few more levels. With only five you can easily blow through it in thirty minutes. On the positive though the game does not look bad the controls are responsive and the music is as good as you would expect from the original gameboy. Overall it is best left for fans of the material and that is who can appreciate it the most.

Fall of the Foot Clan is a side-scroller in its most basic and simple form: this can be a good thing or a bad thing. Unless you have never played a video game before in your life, there will be little if any difficulty completing this one. There are five levels, four turtles, three bonus games, and a handful of enemies. Let me break it down like this:
Graphics: 5 of 10
Gameplay: 4 of 10
Sound: 7 of 10
Innovation: 1 of 10
Storyline: 2 of 10
Fun: 9 of 10
+ familiar characters, nice music (especially in level 5), cartoony graphics, mini-games
- too easy, no female turtle (no Venus), April is not playable, turtles walk slowly

Got the game, didn't work. Not going to bother going through the motions to return it, since it was only a few dollars, but they should test their games before sending them out.

THE FALL OF THE FOOT CLAN, IS NOT A BAD GAME AT ALL. BUT WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT IS THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO SKIP TO ANY LEVEL YOU WANT FROM THE BEGINING. I THINK THAT S****. BUT OVERALL IT'S A FUN GAME TO PLAY WITH NICE GRAPHICS. IT CAN ALSO BE AN EASY GAME TO BEAT AS WELL. YOUR BEST BET IS TO GET ANOTHER GAME MORE LONGER. BUT IF YA INTO QUICK GAMES, WELL THIS GAME WILL BE FOR YOU TO CHOOSE. IT'S NOT A BORING GAME. IT'S A COOL GAME TO PLAY.
