    The game plays a lot like the Genesis version, but seems a bit more confined as the Game Boy Advance screen size plays a big role in this.

    The one point of Magna Cum Laude that stands out is the fairly hysterical humor of the game. Borrowing pages from movies such as "Animal House," Magna Cum Laude has some of the funniest lines ever uttered in a video game. The characters and the dialog bring unprecedented humor to the consoles.

    This is a great looking racing game that really pushes these early capabilities of the DS and does it while running at 60 frames per second. The problem is that the gameplay is just uninspired.

    The graphics are decidedly mediocre. It looks better than a PlayStation One game, but not by much.

    Even the fans of the show may want to "try-before-you-buy" because there really isn’t much to do after beating the game once.

    The new game is a little bland, and just doesn’t really excite the same way that the old ones do. It’s the worst game under the Ninja Turtle franchise, and is worth a rental at most.

    A big problem I’ve had with the game is load times. You can walk across large plots of land with no slowdown whatsoever. But enter a house, and be prepared to sit for a while waiting for the game to load.

    With no franchise mode, the game lacks. Yes, you can create your own team but what is the point for one season.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Breaks the cardinal rule of videogaming… it isn’t fun. And despite everything else, the graphics and franchise mode, the gameplay breaks the title.

    Fails in the most basic concept, which would be to bring something new to the table. It’s just another washed up "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" clone.

    While AM2 has gone in and added a bunch of modes to the game such as two-player and mini-games, it hasn’t really done anything to make the game any deeper or more enjoyable.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The camera is by far one of the worst in a 3d game ever. When you're zipping along, it's not too big a deal, but in any sort of exploration mode you might as well just give up now.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The story isn’t a bad concept, the combat system is decent, and if the gameplay engine and graphics had been updated a bit, this could have been a good game.

    While there isn’t much there, it’s fun to play while it lasts.

    Word of warning to anyone considering picking this up. There is no multiplayer in the original game. That should be enough to let you know this probably isn’t the game for you.

    The game is supposed to be pure action and loads of fun, and Fistfull of Boomstick certainly delivers.
    • 54 Metascore

    I kept telling my girlfriend while I was playing, "It has to get better once you get into the actual story." Truth be told, THERE IS NO STORY. It’s just the longest character creation mode I’ve ever seen.

    One of the more graphically impressive GBA launch titles. From the 3D menus to the in-game 3D environments, Iridion does drop jaws with its impressive graphics. Unfortunately, the rest of the game takes away from this sense of euphoria.
    • 53 Metascore

    The side-to-side/spinning problem will plague you throughout the rest of the game, if you attempt to make it that far. Even if you manage to master the controls, I cannot see you having that much fun with this game.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It’s a little hard to justify picking this up. It’s been available for a long time, and even though this one is arcade perfect, it’s easy to get elsewhere. 20 bucks isn’t worth it.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    The graphics, described in one word, would have to be muddy. The framerate seems to be unnecessarily depleted from previous versions.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    While the music doesn't offer much, except the six tracks found in the rhythm-guitar playing sessions, it's decent and surprisingly fits the game. It's not "Final Fantasy", but what is?
    • 48 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    If you can get into the whole sexual suggestiveness of the title, you might have some fun, otherwise, invest your money somewhere else for some actual gameplay.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, somehow the sound got completely butchered along the way to this cart. The cool rock tracks have been replaced by these nice, high pitched screeching noises. This is definitely a game to turn the volume down on.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Last but not least are the incomprehensible sound effects and the typical arcade game music. The music isn't too bad but deciphering all the sound effects as they happen is something that is exceptionally difficult.
    • 45 Metascore

    Another complaint I have with the game is the map. No longer do you have much control of where your character goes.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    There wasn’t a moment that I wasn’t frustrated by DNA Factor in some way. Whether it was the bad job with the graphics, the dinosaurs that were tough to see against the dark background, or the cheap-death bosses, it all just turned me off.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    A very blatant attempt at making the most money off of a license as possible. The idea of a dodgeball game isn’t terrible, but at the most it should be a mini-game within another game…not a full game itself.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    The gameplay is absolutely atrocious. Imagine a game where you can’t turn around without fighting the controller, where jumping is completley inaccurate, and the only way to finish the game is completing controller functions that will quite literally have you hating yourself for picking up this title in the first place.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    While the game is pretty fun, it can become very frustrating. At times, it seems your character doesn’t want to swing his light saber in a certain direction, or misses a jump you know that you hit, or just hits something in the 3D level that didn’t look like a mine.
    • 34 Metascore

    If you can make it all the way through this game, kudos to you I say. If you actually want to play it again, I might start considering therapy. No, seriously.

    The graphics are horrible. Bad visuals and a bad frame-rate repulse the eyes.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, the graphics are simply horrible. The entire game lacks any real pizzazz, and the entire game feels lifeless.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Leaves the feeling of mediocrity in your stomach after playing. Its fun, it’s enjoyable, but it gets old fast.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    I’m not sure if there was a deadline for the game and the developers just slept through the development process or something, and threw something together at the last minute, but this can’t be what Metro3D was hoping for.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    The only reason I won’t give this game an "F" is because of the original voice acting and that the game is only selling for 20 bucks. If not for that, this game should be burned.

    To be perfectly honest, this is probably one of the worst games I have ever played in my life.
