    As a fan of TMNT I have to say that this game isn't the best TMNT game out there. The graphics are good, especially TMNT models. The story is "Okay" at best, it's presented through horrible screenshots that were drawn by a 10 year old kid (It looks horrendous). The game-play felt like they wanted to make a Turtles game with Batman controls but the execution wasn't the best.

The game-play felt like they wanted to make a Turtles game with Batman controls but the execution wasn't the best. Controls felt "Okay", but the movement animation looked weird and slow. It didn't feel like there is any impact to it. Overall its 'Okay'. Wait for the price drop on steam.… Expand

    The Good: It's a fun beat-'em up. The combat system is pretty well developed, the leveling up has unique traits that fit the characters pretty well. The voice acting isn't bad, and the banter between the turtles is pretty amusing and reminiscent of the series.

    The Bad: The game is really short, glitchy and there's no map. I feel like I spent a quarter of my gameplay time running around    The Good: It's a fun beat-'em up.

    The Bad: The game is really short, glitchy and there's no map. I feel like I spent a quarter of my gameplay time running around trying to figure out where the hell I'm going because there's no clear objective at times and no map to guide you to that unclear objective. Just kinda run up to things and hit space until I got it.

    If they added a basic radar, ironed out the glitches, and made the game longer...it'd be a really good game.

    The combat system could also use just a little bit of polish to make going from one bad guy to the next a little smoother, but overall it's fun and well done...it's kinda like a 4-man Arkham Asylum with team-up techniques.    … Expand

    There are tons of problems with this game. There are certain aspects of it that are promising though. I will not be playing it until multiple patches have fixed these problems. Including but not limited to LAN not working, no server browser and private matches not working.

    So far it seems to be a bad console port. I'm hoping they patch these issues.

    The game do have some good fighting styles, witty humour and homage for the good ‘ol Turtle brothers. But it had a story that is very much equal to a 22 minute cartoon episode, bad camera control, lots of bugs, short campaign, uninteresting unblockables which made this game nothing more than another mediocre game.

    Solo para fanáticos de las tortugas.
    El juego es repetitivo y cuenta con muchos errores, hay partes en la que ya te recorriste todo y no sabes que hacer hasta que te paras en un lugar determinado poco intuitivo y continua la secuencia . Además la IA de los enemigos es patética.

    Not that bad but its not as good as Turtles in time for SNES. I personally didnt like the new look but it grew on me. The thing that bug me the most is the gameplay. my favorite turtle is Ralph but hes pretty terrible as an offensive player. You have to play more defensively which sucks. I didnt like how the difficulty gets crank to 11 out of no where. They only give you a little clueNot that bad but its not as good as Turtles in time for SNES.

You have to play more defensively which sucks. I didnt like how the difficulty gets crank to 11 out of no where. They only give you a little clue where to go, plus the enemies weapons just freezes in mid air. Graphically is not that bad but the trailers looked better then the actual game and like I said the turtles new look grew on me very fast.

    Graphics: 8/10 the beta trailers looked better
    Sound:6/10 very bland voice acting
    Gameplay 5/10 too many bugs and the response time attacks is very slow, come on guys even if they are turtles they should move faster if they are ninjas. If that makes sense
    Replay Value 4/10 Im not going to replay the campaign but playing the arcade local is the only thing that shines more then the campaign mode since it has the 2-D side scroller camera

    OVERALL 6/10 OK but not worth a buggy game and needs more time to be better, the team tried and for a 15 dollar game they did a pretty good job but not perfect in gameplay mechanics    … Expand

    The game has a bad camera system. Its fighting system is not cool only hit faster and you will win.
    But I think it's not a bad game for TMNT fans like me.

    Come on, let the dead rest in peace. This utterly pointless, crappy beat-'em-up, should never have seen the light of day. The game tries to bring Konami's 8-bit games into this millennia, but the result is a complete failure. [Oct 2013]

    Short, disgraceful and terribly unfun: it's hard to recommend this game (even to diehard TMNT fans). No, definitely not Cowabunga at all.
