    If you are looking for that coop beat them up game that makes famous TMNT on the 90's just imagine this game does not exist, also gameplay is not good.

    They should have just called this one teenage mutant ninja "turd" les...what a letdown! $50 for avg graphics and repetitive uninspired gameplay. Don't waste your time. I rented this and still feel burned by it.

    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. Also 30 FPS lock for a game with this caliber of graphics? This game isn't evenPlatinum fanboys to the rescue ! !! This time listen to the negative reviews.

    Horrible game, not worth full price, you have been warned, developers and their families should not be allowed to review their own game here, they are the only ones that could possibly give this game a 10 a low 4 at the most, someone said the graphics were good, maybe if this was 1993.

    Another overrated Platinum Game game. Like Legend of Korra & Transformers: Devastation, it is a short, repetitive and boring game with no contents, no unlockables and no depth like Bayonetta, Vanquish & Metal Gear Rising.

    4 hour campaign?
    Bad level design?
    No couch co-op? Not much character differentiation? 30 fps? Atleast its better than COD Infinite warfare. its a repetetive game, with zero interesting combat dynamics, you need to following with yourr cyber vision (wallhack) around a genereic map while tackling boring objectives long the way. (protect the pizza stand, defuse a bomb, delete a    4 hour campaign?

(protect the pizza stand, defuse a bomb, delete a terminal, protect an ATM, take a ride in the ud it plays more like an low budget mmo than an action game, its really sad to see what they do with our franchises. first ghostbusters movie and now this game. the price for this game is way to high to be honest. why couldnt they make a sunset overdrive or put more effort in gameplay mechanics with swords but atleast visuals are okay.those are the creators of bayonetta, vanquish and metal gear rising? i cant believe it.    … Expand

    I give this game 1 for the effort and the graphics. This is not just a bad TMNT game. This is probably one of the worst games I've played recently. I tried to like it, to enjoy it. I grew up playing the awesome TMNT games on the arcade or SNES. This game is a complete waste of effort. Boring, pointless, with zero sense of accomplishment.

Boring, pointless, with zero sense of accomplishment.

    The sad part is that there are some neat ideas, like customizing the turtles with new skills and changing the one you control on the fly. But not giving this game a local co-op is a complete travesty. I tried to find some people online, without any success. At most, I found one person. It appears nobody is playing this game anymore.

    And, really, what's the point? You enter a boring map, with repetitive missions then fight a boss with one million HP. Rinse, repeate. This is a mediocre, sad excuse of a game that nobody should play, no matter how into TMNT you are.

    I made this mistake. Don't do it.    … Expand

    This game is not a polished arcade style beat-em-up. It's really wonky, and riddled with awkward camera angles. I've played and beaten Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne. I know how to dodge.

    Un gameplay aburrido en el que la maquina lo hace todo. Corto en duracion, menos mal, muy repetitivo, sin profundidad. Los jefes son muy aburridos por culpa de sus patrones, que son solo golpear lo que puedas hasta morir y esperar que tus compañeros resistan. Demasiado cell shading en los graficos.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan why is it bad? Bad example: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is ugly, the gameplay was very boring without Skins no Local Online and Bad Design.
    Good example: the bosses are tough and the humor is decent. As if it was the: worst TMNT game.

    We would have missed nothing at all if Mutants in Manhattan had never peeked out of their shells. The game is mediocre in every aspect, boring and rather ugly. The only advantage I can think of is that it’s only 5 hours long. [08/2016, p.54]

    Platinum needs to take a little more care when it comes to picking its battles. [Aug 2016, p.110]

    Almost every idea included here is a strong one - yet they've all been exectured terribly. A patch to slow the entire game down by 50% would immediately elevate that score. [Aug 2016, p.89]
