A Kid's Review

This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Video Game)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is simply a fun action game with a lot of old school game play. Both new and older gamers will find this to be an addictive game.

All of the characters "turtles/splinter" are playable in story mode. The game rewards the player with new features after attaining certain items or completing different levels. It certainly keeps your interest because you want to know whats around the next corner.

Each character has unique fighting styles and the player will have to learn how to employ the turtles' weapon of choice in order to defeat the evil Shredder and the foot clan.

The graphics are cel-shaded and give the game a cartoon look which is really a break from the realistic looking games of late. This game is purely an action fighter game that will remind some gamers of the early side scrollers. The only difference... you can move in 3d. There are no platforms to fall from which is better for the younger gamers. It would have been nice being able to throw your enemies from cliffs/bridges that you encounter in the game. I guess that would be too violent. :-) ;-)

TMNT utilizes the same actors' voices from the new tv series and new cartoon footage exclusive to the game. The background music can be a little annoying at first, but there are options to adjust the sound/music effects which is pretty good. Most areas in the game are good, but one level of the game will have you wishing that you could stop the repeating sound of a female annoucers advising of a security intrusion by the turles.

Overall this is a good and fun game that is not too hard or easy to play. There is a lot of frantic button mashing involved in order to survive the onslaught of the foot clan. Two player cooperative is a feature that is added so bring a friend and get ready to kick some shell.

This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Video Game)

...and it was, for a few minutes. It really was satisfying to rack up a 30-hit combo while destroying five or six foot soldiers all at once, just like the old-school TMNT arcade games. And the cel-shaded graphics look awesome.

Unfortunately, killing an endless stream of soldiers and robots (who rarely vary) gets old really fast, and the stages are pretty boring despite the colorful graphics. One stage takes place on a subway platform, and I thought trains would be roaring by every now and then, but they don't.

As others have mentioned, the sound bites really are annoying, especially Mike's (Eat feet! Eat feet! Eat feet! Eat feet! ad nauseum).

The challenge is quite uneven - the stages are incredibly easy, but you'll waste all your lives when you get to the final boss. And you won't want to start over when the stage took you 30 minutes to get through.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good game, worth the buy, especially if a turtles IV fan, October 26, 2003

This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Video Game)

This is a pretty good game. It's really old-school in the beat em up sense (but its in 3d). Good cell shading, and gameplay, easy to get nasty against large groups of enemies. Upgrade turtles and unlock new attacks as you complete story mode (Including the four player strength Gembu Turtle Power move which is supposed to vary with different power ups). Vs mode didn't seem to be very good, but 2 player story mode more than makes up for it. The only real letdown, is that they seemed to have made a new Ninja Turtles cartoon, and they based this game off of that. This means annoying repetitve battle speech and wave goodbye to the classic theme music. Worth the buy if your a fan of Turtles in time, and prolly if your a new school turtle fan as well... But it never hurts to rent first.
