    After some years I have picked thi game up in my shelves for it's historically easy 1000GS... now I rebember, the horrible graphics, bugged gameplay and awful controls of the game. This game is of a past generation quality (PS2, etc.), even when it was released, back in 2007, it was already a bad game.

If you want a relly good TNMT game, pick up in the Xbox Marketplace the recent remake of the arcade / SNES game, and skip this one. This games has only one purpouse today: to increase your Gamescore, but even this is boring to death in the 4-5 hours needed to finish it.… Expand

    Besides Geometry Wars, this is the arcade game i have gotten the most value out of for about 5 bucks. The achievements are what really keeps it going, and unfortunately a few bugs hold it down, such as not being able to unlock the Turtle Soup achievement in single player. Other than that, I have been playing this game for a long time.

    As someone who dumped many quarters into this game as a kid, it's great to have a cheap trip down memory lane. Admittedly, if you don't have a history w/ this game, you'll probably find it boring unless you've got 3 pals to play it with. But as a pick up and play game, it's great.

    This game is easily a bargain at only $5. Single player mode offers unlimited continues, which kind of ruins the challenge of this game, but it allows you to just pick up and complete the game in 30-40 minutes when you feel like playing it. Online play is when it gets more interesting. You're only given 20 continues to share (doesn't matter if you are playing 2-4 players.) Add This game is easily a bargain at only $5.

    Save your Microsoft points for an Arcade game that you might actually play more than once. Does not feel nostalgic just boring and repetitive. Would seriously recommend something else for a scrolling beat um-up (Double Dragon, Golden Axe ect, ect( although not great themselves) would be better ets). One of Arcade's week points. would stay clear.

    Classico arcade anni 90, uno di quei giochi senza tempo che regalano ancora qualche minuto di divertimento.

    The four-player co-op is pretty much what makes this update of the classic arcade Turtles beat-'em-up worth downloading, though the $5 price doesn't hurt either.

    To Ubisoft’s credit, they did as much as they really could have with the original content, and should be merited for the game’s feature set; especially the online four player co-op.

    Outside of nostalgia the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is short and shallow. Then again, it's also an exciting action game full of great characters and cool levels. The fact that this version of the game allows you to play online makes this a must own for anybody who loved the turtles.
