This game is so much fun! How many of you remember pumping quarter after quarter into this game? Well now you no longer have to! This game for the Xbox Live Arcade is the exact same as the original except better! Play with up to 4 players locally for some TMNT ninja fighting fun! Don;t have 4 people to play with? No worries! Now you can play online with people from anywhere! I have had this game for 2 years now and I have yet to have a problem finding people online to play with. It is that popular still! And the best part? Continue all you want without pumping in $25 worth of quarters!!!! This is worth every penny. If you are getting one XBLA game, this should be it! Hands down you will NOT find a better deal for your money!

I remember playing this back in the day, pumping quarter after quarter into the machine, and now that it is on Xbox Live Arcade, for $5 you get the game and can play with unlimited continues. Playing it now, you can really get a feel for just how much of a quarter muncher this is. And while you can beat the game in under a half hour, and let's face it, the game play isn't the greatest; it's still worth it for the nostalgia alone.

This game is the reason why I became a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. NOT because of the shows. OR the comics. Instead, the appeal came from the games. I overlooked TMNT at first, mainly because the shows were, well, just made me think "Eh...I think I'll pass", but after playing the arcade game and its NES version, I just had to get into the craze.

The gameplay is as tough and awesome as the Simpsons arcade game (released a year later). Beating up a bunch of ninjas with swords and nunchucks....ON SKATEBOARDS (in one part of a level), is cool. The bosses are also pretty epic, but the hardest one is obviously Shredder, with his annoying attack that devolves the Turtles into ordinary turtles. More action segments onscreen include runaway cars, boulders down stairs, ninjas hopping out from advertisements or trucks, and the Technodrome's level, which itself is full of awesome beat 'em up action.

The graphics are terrific. They are fully detailed and colorful. They also make the onscreen action look very intense at times. The music also rocks hard. These tunes are so epic that you may as well download them as mp3s for your iPod (I know you will do it...)! Once you listen to the background music, I assure you that you will be imagining a high-speed skateboard chase with ninjas! The voice quality is excellent, as well. You can hear the characters talk clearly.

What makes this game really fun is that now that it's on the Xbox 360, there's a feature in which you can play ONLINE MULTIPLAYER! Sure, you can sit with buddies on the couch, but online gaming is where its at! And now it's at some of its finest in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Overall, this is an amazing gem that all Xbox 360 owners should buy.
