Product Description

After fighting crime and evil for so long, even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need a vacation. So, Michaelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael head down to Florida for some well deserved rest and relaxation. But after their archenemy, Shredder, tries to steal the island of Manhattan and kidnap April O' Neil, the guys' favorite reporter the Turtles have to high-tail it back home to save the day. You'll have to get through eight huge levels of action as you brave the Typhoon Tide Pool, Baron Von Spleen's Battle Barge, and a host of other weird obstacles. But you'll have access to jet-powered surfboards, a blimp, and a spaceship in addition to all sorts of new moves the boys can pull off. You'd better hurry, or Shredder is going to escape with your hometown and your best human friend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Beat-Em Up for Up to two cooperative players, November 11, 2009

I love this game even 15 years later! This is an awesome beat-em up game with everyone's favorite four turtles, Donatello, Michaelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael. The game starts when the turtles are vacationing on a beach, the evil Shredder comes and steals Manhattan Island. The turtles go back into action, brawling baddies on the beach and then surfboarding back to NYC (first 2 levels).

If you've played TMNT the Arcade Game, its the same system, just with more diverse fun. The graphics and gameplay are taken straight from the previous TMNT Arcade Game (NES port). New moves include throws, and each turtle has their own special manufer that will drain health when used. There is a wide array of character bosses from the cartoons and movies. Rocksteady, Bebop, Tokka, Rahzer, Super Shreder, Krang (and his body), Groundchuck, Slash and more.

More foot soldiers, more tricks, traps and obsticles! Its an amazingly great game! It was awarded best game of 1992 by Electronic Gaming. Find this game, rent it, buy it, play it and you're in for some fun, especially with a friend as another turtle.

Ok, this was 10 times better than the previous Ninja Turtles game. I love TMNT II The Arcade Game, but TMNT III The Manhattan Project made TMNT II looked like the first game with a little more colorful graphics, new super moves, more sub-levels, and a new choice to switch between turtles upon loosing lives and continues. It looked as though TMNT III was meant to be released for arcades, but Komani decided to take it straight to the households. TMNT has a main objective (return Master Splinter to his human form by stealing Shredder's mutantgeon gun); TMNT II does'nt have a main objective, but TMNT III has a true objective. In the beginning of the game, Shredder interupts the turtles' vacation by elevating Manhattan Island from the ground and its up to the team to bring it back to the ground level by slashing their way through 8 levels of hundreds of foot soldiers, rock soldiers, mousers, random robots, and several of Shredder's mutants standing in your way!

Although the 8-bit console has technical limitations that prevent it from being a four player game console (with support of the NES satalite), but it was another fun beat em' up classic game and the second TMNT title to strongly follow the 1987 cartoon series. To add on to the challenge and excitment, they added several bosses from The Turtles second motion picture and the line of the popular action figures such as Tokka, Razhar, Leatherhead, and Groundchuck. Rocksteady, Bebop, and Krang return stronger and deadlier than ever and you must fight Shredder twice (the second time is on the final level, as Super Shredder). Although the cover art looks like it was taken straight from the comic books, the game is really straight out of the cartoons (the mutant Triceratop on the cover does'nt appear in the game) for the kids, who are the target audiences of Ninja Turtles franchise. Other than super moves (like cyclone sword spin and kangeroo kick), the turtles are allowed to throw the foot soldiers and mousers over their heads with their weapons. April O'Neal is still the damsel in distress that you must rescue in the Technodrome. Then you must fight off more of Shredder's mutants, chase Shredder to Krang's ship, defeat Krang and Super Shredder and return Manhattan Island to the ground. Now thats a adventure to remember. Konami hardly lets me down when it comes to fun games with cool sound effects and spine chillin' soundtracks and TMNT III is no exception!
