Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
SCORE: 64
Did you
know there was a new Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television
show? I found it out with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on
the Wii and Xbox 360. There is also a Nintendo 3DS version, but that
version is not included in this review.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tries to bring back the old arcade feel of
past Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video games. Unfortunately the
industry has moved on. Not only that, but also bugs get in the way. What
kind of bugs? How about getting a turtle stuck in a corner with no
ability to get them out of it. Or in multiplayer the computer controlled
turtles stand around watching you hack and slash the enemies.
The hacking and slashing action gets boring in Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles quickly. Not only that, but it is also confusing to tell which
turtle you are. I lost track of my turtle so many times that I had
trouble figuring out where I was on the screen. The violent action gets
really chaotic in multiplayer.
Boss battles are much more interesting than hacking and slashing all of
these guys. Players have to find the pattern, and right opportunity to
strike. Certain things can prompt the boss to start them on their
process of becoming vulnerable. Pro tip - hit them when they are
invulnerable.
The characters in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles call one another names,
and insult one another. At times it was funny. Other times it was
childish and lame. There are some strange dynamics like one of the
turtles having a crush on April. The look of the characters is
distinctive as well.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a short game. Expect to beat it in two
to three hours. There are other modes like timed mode. Some skills to
unlock, and then purchase for the turtle characters. All in all Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles is a weekend rental.
