    A scrappy, unfulfilling brawler that's nevertheless quite difficult to dislike despite itself. [Aug 2016, p.70]

    Combat system is overly simplistic; the most difficult trick here is precise parrying with a follow-up counterattack. Other than that, it’s all about button-mashing – which would be fine for a half-hour arcade title, but not for a six-hour game. And it’s so painfully slow: although each bad guy is getting punched by eight green fists simultaneously, health bars barely tick down.

    It seems the developers were hard pressed to release the game before the movie's premiere. This kind of rush never ends well.

    You will need three friends to play online with if you want to somewhat enjoy the very derivative, bland and fundamentally broken action game TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan is. Single playing is simply a chore and it's hard to fathom how this was even possible considering the license in question and the amazing gameplay Transformers: Devastation had.

    TMNT Mutants in Manhattan doesn't have the usual solid, challenging and frantic Platinum Games mechanics. It's too simple in combat system and has poor and repetitive enemy waves. However, it's better in coop mode and has good bosses.

    The new TMNT is a repetitive slog that is nowhere near the greatness of original comic nor cartoons and it's a real shame that Platinum Games let such an unpolished game out of their door.

I do, it is one of my favorite genres, plus I am also a huge TMNT fan, so putting the two together is exactly my kind of fun. The cartoon-style graphics are awesome, the usual Platinum Games quality is here once again. The turtles are exactly as they should be, they all fight differently, all have different combos and weapons and their personalities are on point as well. Mikey is hilarious, Raph is serious, Leo is the leader and Donnie is the tech genius. It is also really cool that almost all the major villains are in the game, and you have to fight one at the end of each level. The designs of these level are typical TMNT settings, subways, city streets, sewers and so on. April and Splinter guide you through your adventure, and you can control any of the four turtles, any time you want. Playing online with friends is also possible and there is an excellent upgrade system. You also have special moves and can select a large variety of perks to help you in your battle. It is not a long game, but you can replay any level you want once you completed the game and there are four different difficulty settings as well. There also some collectibles and if you want you can watch all the cutscenes again as a movie. So all in all, this is a great multiplayer fighting, action adventure game with a nice story, a must play for TMNT fans!… Full Review »

But the blend of combo based action game with more tactical RPG elements actually works very well. MIM has a great graphical style derived from the current IDW Turtles comic, which I'm a fan of. They captured the look perfectly. The plot is bland to be fair but there's still enjoyable character interaction here and there.

    The game-play for traversal is very satisfying as well. It can be fun to just jump around and collect items in-between the missions on each level.

    Don't listen to the naysayers. Give the game a shot and you may be pleasantly surprised.    … Full Review »
