I grew up watching turtles and still watch the show time to time and i read the comics so i know when a good game when i see one but when I downloaded the demo when it came out and used an old xbox controller to play it and at first i thought it was a lot of fun. Looking at the other TMNT games that came out, this one by far looks the best graphics wise. Even though the gameplay is overly simplistic its still fun. After playing the demo a couple dozen times, i was hooked. After taking a break from the demo for a week, i thought to realize that i think im expecting too much from this game, but in reality im not really. I was just looking for a fun TMNT game out that would be fun to play, and because it was coming out for all of the consoles, i was expecting a whole lot graphics wise. I rented this game today and when i played i wasn't surprised. The graphics were descent, gameplay was overly way too easy, the fighting is easy, but what else is suspected from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who know how to kick but. The focus is mostly the jumping, wall climbing, ledge running, pole swinging, double jumping, wall running aspect of the game. A lot of people are comparing it Prince of Persia, but i never played PoP, so as far as i know, this type of gameplay is new to me. Overall, this is a fun game that should be rented first, what killed it for me was that there is NO ONLINE PLAY, so off the bat i wasn't going to buy it. You would think that there would be online play, especially since the release of the arcade game THAT HAS online play, but that was something that Ubisoft did horribly on and they really got hurt for it. If i was stil a little kid yeah this would have been the best game ever, but that i am in college, this game its really for kids. I only got it because it was the turtles, but because i wasn't expecting much for this game i wasn't dissappointed. There are only two things to do with this game. Either rent it if you are a turtles fan...or AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS. You could wait a few weeks and wait for the PC version to be available through downloads and use a gamepad to play, but besides that this is really just mediocre.
I wasn't going to buy this game but after watching the clerks play the game in the EB Game store it drew a crowd including me. I was there to buy Virtua Tennis, but they didn't have it in yet and on my way out of the st... Read Full Review
