    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.

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

    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.

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.    … Expand

    This game is really good if you've played any other TMNT games and love the movies. I was wary of purchasing it because of the bad reviews all over the place. It's exactly what I love to play.

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

    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.
