    Acho que um dos maiores pecados desse jogo é focar mais na parte do Toads do que do Battle, pois o jogo tem menos fases no Estilo Beat and Up e as corridas de moto do que nos outros estilos; E se você está fazendo um jogo do Battletoads com menos Beat and Up e corridas de moto do que os minigames, os plataformers e os space shooters, significa que você está fazendo de errado sem contar queAcho que um dos maiores pecados desse jogo é focar mais na parte do Toads do que do Battle, pois o jogo tem menos fases no Estilo Beat and Up e as corridas de moto do que nos outros estilos; E se você está fazendo um jogo do Battletoads com menos Beat and Up e corridas de moto do que os minigames, os plataformers e os space shooters, significa que você está fazendo de errado sem contar que o jogo ficou bem awkward com a Dark Queen sendo uma das mochinhas para só no final se tornar do mal, e mesmo assim ela nem faz nada.

    Enfim, poderiam ter feito o jogo como se fosse um spinoff mais do que um reboot, porque isso parecia mais um jogo party do que um Battletoads    … Expand

    This game is a game for kids that almost no one would have played if it wasn't at Gamepass. If you loved the original Battletoads, skip this because the spirit is not there. It's for kids, and it's short. And the art style is awful except for kids.

    Juego mediocre. La mayoria de los minijuegos destrozan la jugabilidad. Los gráficos si fueran para nintendo switch.
    El diseño en killer instinc es lo que esperábamos todos los jugadores para una consola xbox one que recuperaba una saga de la vieja escuela.

    Tengo todas las consolas y me lo estan poniendo muy dificil para comprar una series x, si el camino de microsoft es rellenar el gamepass con juegos mediocres no tendré la mínima intención de gastar dinero en un aparato para mover juegos de presupuesto índie, el ejemplo es playstation, sony estudios si hace los juegos con pasión y dedicación, Days gone es mejor juego que todo el catalogo de microsoft y fue realizado por muy pocos trabajadores. Necesitamos un scalebound o un nimja gsiden un lost planet para sentir que podemos gastar un dinero en una maquina de 12 teraflops. De lo contrario Mi camino acaba en xbox one con las consolas de micro.

Lo mejor del juego es que bebe de Street of Rage y del estilo animado y hunorístico tipo Cartoon Network, hasta aquí lo bueno de mi review, el juego es extremadamente corto (en menos de 3 horas lo terminas), no tiene coop online, y se hace tremendamente repetitivo..... no era el regreso de la saga que se esperaba… Expand

    I would give this game a 3 because it’s disappointing that there is not enough “Beat Em Up” levels. That’s what this game is and was in the past a action beat em up like streets of rage.

The rest is just random mini games. I won’t spoil it but one of the acts in the game that has the most levels has 0 beat em up levels all just random mini games. Disappointed with the art direction as well. Why they decided to go with the Nickelodeon look is beyond me. But for what it is the game is just a meh at best. But it’s definitely a one and done. Never seeing myself go back to this. We waited 26 years and all we got was 4 stages of beat em up action. The rest is arcade mini games. Xbox did this on purpose to **** fans up so they could be like see we gave you something. Now shut up we didn’t succeed we are never making or talking about Battletoads again. Rare is a joke they aren’t even a shell of the company they use to be. Dalalalalalalala nobody’s heard of you for a reason please remain in the shadows you clearly don’t care for gamers and butchered this game on purpose for sure to end any chance of another Battletoads ever being considered. Dotemu should have been given the keys folks. Dumb art style that looks wonky and terrible. Beat ‘em up portions are so short lived it’s sad. RIP Battletoads we as fans tried to get you back to you’re glory days of battlemaniacs and double dragon.But Xbox nor Rare care about the fans. Pass on this game you ain’t missing much brothers and sisters.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is awful and it's distasteful. After the first level, It was undesirable to keep going but I did just to give it a chance. Let's just say that I should've gone with my instinct and should've stopped playing it the moment I felt corrupt by trash gamepass games.… Expand

    For players unfamiliar with the original: 9/10 is a good game.
    For players who played at least one of the original games - 4/10. The main complaint is a terrible visual style(good for children under 5 years old), reworked characters (the Dark Queen has become just disgusting), ugly levels.
    "Thanks" to Rare for spitting into my soul.

    Microsoft, i had a much higher expectations taking into account great remake of AoE 2.

    This game is absolutely atrocious!
    I won't waste my time telling you why. Just watch or play the last two acts and you'll understand. Not even the couch co-op could save it. Even the mini-games are dull as hell!

    Everything is either VERY unbalanced or VERY boring. PLEASE, do not waste your time in it! I BEG you!

    Un Insulto a los juegos clasicos de Battletoads, donde su humor es bueno y su graficos a lo estilo Cartoon Network es muy bueno, pero todo el mundo esperaba algo a lo Killer Inctint en cuestion de estilo el Gameplay es Mediocre, es Repetitivo no hay variedad y el personaje de Queen es Insoportable y tiene caidas de FPS hasta de 15 FPS esperaba mas de este juego es mediocre hasta decir basta

The self-awareness of it was worse than Borderlands. All of the characters, except for maybe the Dark Queen, were really dumb and annoying, with dumb and annoying character quirks. Not dumb and annoying in a "so bad it's good," way, but just plain bad. The minigames were kinda cute, but got old extremely fast, and the motorcycle levels were also cute, but beyond frustrating.

    I feel like the gameplay kinda sucked, though. It never grabbed me, and I cant tell if it was from it being too complex or if it was just that I wasn't invested enough to enjoy it. The controls are straight up bad, especially on an Xbox controller. I got softlocked 5 times, 2 of those being in the last mountain-climb level. You have to restart the entire mission to un-softlock, you can't just return to the most recent checkpoint. That was extremely frustrating. I feel like it tried too hard to be a funny kid's cartoon, and didnt try much to be a classic beat-em-up game. "But hey, at least it's on gamepass." I dont like GP, so I shelled out the $20 for this. It took me 2hr 45min to beat, which is sadly 45 minutes outside of the refund period.    … Expand

    It's safe, boring, emasculated, and mediocre. What a waste of an IP. Little kids would probably appreciate the "humor" and art design, but they'll get bored with the repetitive gameplay almost immediately. This game is going to be completely forgotten in a year.

What most people will pay for isn't the Battletoads people loved. IN fact it's much worse. i'd rather break out an NEW and play the old version before suffering through this.

    The game loses most of it's charm for being an endless puncher. One of the charms of the original was the difficulty in getting through it. This one suffers from an anemic combat system that get repetitive in the first few minutes. This game would have been better now being remade for today consoles.    … Expand

    Juggling genres is the series’ trademark and the latest game offers much larger variety in that aspect than any of its predecessor. Most of the genres were tackled well enough, but not all ideas are spot-on and almost every part of the game could be improved. It is the best Battletoads game to date though and it would’ve scored higher if it wasn’t for one frustrating and infuriating section towards the end of the campaign. [11/2020, p.55]
