    If you judge TMNT on its own merits as a platform-hopper with a dash of semi-imaginative combat thrown in, then it's a fine game.

    Though the running and jumping portion of the game is pretty decent, the fighting is monotonous and repetitive, and is just plain dull.

    TMNT has some legitimately neat platforming sequences, but it's more frustrating than a kid-oriented game ought to be, and the combat is completely brain-dead.

    It should provide an entertaining ninja experience for the under 10 market but in doing so can't be recommended to more experienced gamers. If you're old enough to remember the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on pre-32-Bit hardware, you'll sadly fall into the latter category.

    While it was definitely on the right track to restoring the brand to its former video game glory, the surprisingly boring and simplistic gameplay absolutely kills it.

    This is by no means the car crash of a game that Ubisoft's withholding led us to expect; it's more of a severe car scrape against a bollard. [June 2007, p.42]

    Videogames are fun because they challenge us or stimulate our minds in some way. TMNT doesn't. With no co-operative mode available, single-button combat, and straightforward level design, all you're left with are some nice animations and decent platforming that just don't carry the weight.

    A missed opportunity. [June 2007, p.88]

    The real shame is that TMNT once had a legacy of good video games--recent titles such as this one have sent that history to the sewers. [May 2007, p.85]

    A multiplayer game that required the turtles to co-ordinate their efforts and powers could have rocked so much harder. For that matter, so could a camera that chose better angles and thus caused to fewer missed jumps due to misjudged distances.

    There are some interesting moves and the environment is well done. However, as a TMNT game it’s sorely lacking.

Cheat Code Central hits the target: "I found myself wishing that I could just hit buttons to attack instead of pointlessly shaking the controllers back and forth." The enemies take a rather long time to defeat so your arm will be aching by the end of a simple battle. I hated how you could run against walls when running to places but not during combat; that would have made things more intersting. Overall, it was some decent "fun", but the bad aspects overshadow the good.… Full Review »

    Good game. Personally, I give it an 8 overall because I really like the interface. Games like this and Ice Age 2 really appeal to me due to Good game.
