    Best beat and up today, the best ninja turtles game of the last decades too. Gameplay, graphics, art direction and replay factor = 10. So far nine playable characters, story mode and arcade mode with Coop for up to six players. Ultimate turtles. I hope the game has more DLCs.

    For TMNT fans it is mush have game. We were playing with 3 players via online coop and it was a very very good beat 'm up game with the classic characters. But the story was too short.

    Nostalgia and the animations are good but the gameplay feels lacking and doesn't feels sluggish. Sometimes your character attacks the wrong direction and for needing precision on things you get warped around the screen based on how you're attacking. It was a pain trying to line my character up with flying stuff. Trying to beat shredder without getting hit has made me hate this game.

The overworld map numbering and layout annoys me, and the game feels lacking substance after one playthrough. The super shredder fight itself is like 3/10. Expand

    A jogabilidade é extremamente divertida, o jogo oferece bastante recurso e movimentos diversos.
    bosses e inimigos satisfatórios de se enfrentar, com exceção de alguns que entregam um combate engessado e repetitivo.
    O coop é bastante divertido e bem expansivo. A pixel art é muito boa, especialmente em relação a ambientação. A trilha sonora é bom, mas não é nada de especial. Dublagem

Este beat em up me ha gustado muchísimo tanto por la genial jugabilidad, los gráficos tan cuidados y sobre todo la banda sonora. La jugabilidad, aunque no cambia mucho entre cada personaje, una de las pegas de este juego, es tremendamente entretenida y divertida. Yo he jugado la historia con otras dos personas, lo que ha multiplicado la emoción y la locura al jugarlo, por lo que lo recomiendo jugar en multijugador sin duda. El diseño artístico y estilo pixelart me parece fantástico y extremadamente cuidada, tanto en detalles como animaciones. Y para mí, la banda sonora es lo que más destacados en el conjunto, siendo sobresaliente y muy pegadiza. La historia no es muy destacable pero al menos es concluyente y entretenida. También debo destacar los efectos de sonido, más que notables. En cuanto a modos de juego, está la historia y la aventura, echando en falta algún modo más. A este punto añado los coleccionables, que creo que se podrían haber diseñado mejor o dar algún incentivo para conseguirlos, que se incluyesen mejor en la progresión del personaje. Como conclusión, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge es uno de los mejores beat em up de los últimos años y es altamente recomendable para jugar en multijugador. 8,6/10

    Well… This is my 2nd time playing beat-em-up after Streets of Rage 4 (which I loved). Probably now that I’m used to the Beat-em-up formula which felt so fresh when I 1st played SOR4 recently, I guess TNMT:SR wasn’t as fun.
    Nothing to do with TNMT: Shredder’s Revenge ofcourse, if I played this 1st instead of SOR4 probably I would’ve love TNMT:SR too!

    Turtles In Time on SNES was the bomb back in the day.
    This retro fueled beat em up scroller keeps the controlls, moves and fx to the most faithfull preservance i have seen in a recreation.
    I was being dropped straight into the boys room back in the early 90´s again.
    What a blast..

    - The Taunt + Special power "unlimited exploit" broke the offline game. It makes the game awfully easy and also really, really annoying online because players taunt everytime hindering the game, annoying due to sound effects and ending the "beat´em up" part - it's just a special move spamming session online. Make it limited or whatever possible to fix this.

    - Please give us a way to remove idle players. They "hold" the screen and the game gets unplayable. Disconnect them after a while idle, give us a move where we can toss them, I dont know. When it's not the bugs ruining the game, it's the idle players.

    - The pizza on the 5th stage needs a shadow or an indicator, it's impossible to know where it is. Or make it fly WITH the screen so we can get it.

    - A minor thing: Please make the "hot to play" screen disabling possible on options. Yes it's skippable, but it's annoying.

    The game is good, but broken right now. Please work on it.

    Le gros point faiboe du jeu ce trouve dans la longueur du mode histoire ( bien trop court, on en re prendrais bien un petit peut)apres ios nous reste le mode en ligne et le mode difficile histoire de passer encore quelques petites heures dessus, en tous cas ce jeu m'a vraipent fait oasser un super moment avec un bon coup de nostalgie.

    I saw the excitement and reviews about this game and was so into the idea. Trailers and gameplay looked great, but I kinda feel lied to. Talk about nostalgia entirely carrying the weight. That isn't to say this game is bad, it's okay, but seriously this is the kind of game that would have been released on the Xbox 360 Live Arcade for $15. Wait... oh, that actually kinda did happen.I saw the excitement and reviews about this game and was so into the idea. Trailers and gameplay looked great, but I kinda feel lied to.

    People were hyping this way too much. They kept saying "oh there's so many challenges and collectibles and leveling up your character" but none of those add up to anything. You get points going through the game which unlocks more health or moves but it doesn't add anything to the game really. Leveling up doesn't do much. The challenges are just things like don't get hit or don't fall in a pit. There are no secrets really and Casey Jones was already shown as an unlockable character so... online play is the only thing left after you beat this.

    You'll finish this game in a couple hours. The replayability is minimal. How do I write a review here, there's so little? You'll get into it, see the throwback stuff, see some jokes and cheesy lines, you'll be hooked to keep playing because level 1 feels so classic. You see the stuff from the cartoon, pokes at old jokes and classic 90s kids things. Then you'll start getting annoyed by the gameplay a few levels in. You aren't pumping in quarters but some of the enemies and bosses are crafted to cough up quarters. The music in some levels just doesn't match the game. Some of the music is great but like TMNT 2 it feels like a desperate cash-in that ignores what made it so good in the first place. It just feels off. The game is made for multiplayer but I didn't find any type of play to be all that fun.

    First time through I got all but 2 of the collectibles and most of the challenges. I started with Donny, balanced and simple but a weird style to play with less reach than expected. After finish I played through a level with each character and had no interest in playing again. Raphael is by far the worst to play with. Casey Jones plays like a wrestler and is too much of a "one joke" character. Leo, Mikey, Splinter, and April are the typical beat-em-up characters.

    The voice overs are... well. I'm not sure if it's just that these guys are all older or if they were recording these with cell phones on an airplane. They sound wrong and distorted. None of them quite sound like their core character. I felt it was a little lazy they didn't voice the cut scenes most of the time except for one line quips. Just text on a screen. The story is basically a childish mix of classic 90s cartoon tropes. The endings slightly change depending on who you play as, again just another nostalgia nod to the cartoon.

    The taunts are annoying. If you play online half the time everyone is just doing this. You hear them a lot. One taunt over and over. The specials aren't very unique to the character. The jokes and nostalgia are fun the first time around but the second time through these just seem like old pizza found under the couch. Once those wear off the game seems very empty.

    Now, I'm sad and I wish I bought a pizza instead.

    A direct continuation of the Super Nes classic, this new episode evokes each easter egg to make every fan nostalgic. Despite being a game of easy assimilation, it definitely seeks to please the fan born between the 80's and 90's. A charm aside.

    In this brand-new adventure, you step into the shoes of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael or Michelangelo, sensei Splinter or reporter April O'Neil and must save the world from the main villain Shredder. You do this entirely in the style of the beat 'em ups of yesteryear. It is a brawling game with wonderfully pixelated retro graphics and a pumping soundtrack, in which just about all the locations, characters and enemies of the past pass by in rapid succession.
