    If you like fun, fast and creative hack-and-slash games, you will like this one a lot.

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!… Expand

    Good but not good.
    Bad but not bad.

    30 locked FPS?
    Ported from console version
    40 $

    I can't recommend this game. We are in 2016 and we want good games.

    This one's been getting some flak for not being a more straightforward action game like Platinum's other titles. 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.

    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.    … Expand

    This game is very bad... very bad.... very very very bad and boring!!!! Is not a full game, is like a low-tech indie project in pre-alpha stage.

    You will lose money. This game is not like Transformer Devastation.

    Platinum fanboys to the rescue ! !! This time listen to the negative reviews. Take the fast paced action games with awesome music from the 16-bit eras not make them into 3D and dumb down everything that was cool about them and make it slow paced with unnecessary gimmicks and mechanics and you would have this.

    I'm really unhappy with this game. I played a lot of TMNT titles during my childhood period, and all of them were great. They were both hardcore and interesting. A new game sucks almost in everything, albeit I have not completed it (and I have no plans to do it). What's the issue? Well, I didn't like how you're forced to play it. Really.

Well, I didn't like how you're forced to play it. Really. You don't feel you're fighting when playing this game, and it's the main problem I've noticed. Although there's still sense of humour, it doesn't make the game better since the game is about playing, not about watching. The graphics is pretty fine, but it could be a bit better as well.

    To sum up, as a big fan of TMNT, I would advise skipping this title. Hope dies last...    … Expand

    Im big fan of the Ninja turtles, I even draw them,
    Graphics is good but simple, turtles shape looking fine
    but I was disappointed by the game play,
    there should be kind of adventure at least or exploring places not only closed fighting arena
    ninja turtles 2003 from konami is way better

It's exactly what I love to play. Everything is how it should be. I don't know why people hate on this game. It's what I wanted it to be before even buying it an playing it. It's exactly what I wanted! Don't listen to half of the stuff you read about this game. The controls are perfect (playing with an XBOX One controller on a hefty gaming rig). I've got over 200 purchased games on Steam, and I'm all over the place on games, but this is just what I needed for something quick, fun and funny. It's smooth and I love the graphics. If you see people hating on this game, ignore them. It's worth about 15 bucks in my opinion, and worth a second play-through. I have no camera issues, not lag issues, and it's a beautiful sounding and looking game. I don't know why people have issues switching between the turtles or their powers. I prefer to stick to one, but the other turtles' AI will heal you when you're down, and I'm impressed. It's a great game, and lots of fun for what it is. Whoever has a personal vendetta with this game is wrong.… Expand

    Listen Even as a fan of platinum games this game just does not come together. They tried to make the comic style work here with the co-op not there and just low amount of abilities and action. Glaringly lower budget and support from publishers, leading to a weaker battle system, not great looking levels/ game and just little coming together.

It doesn't manage to capture what people like about TMNT and the humor barely lands. Some decent ideas and final bosses but really, this game isn't good. Its gameplay faults that is not what i expect from platnium.… Expand

    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.

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

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