TMNT isn't a bad game, but it isn't what most of us will expect it to be either. Ever since the first turtles game was released it has been a beat em up, aka an arcade brawler, with the exception of a few titles staring the turtles. I can say that this game is programmed very well, no glitches, no studders, no lost artwork as the camera shifts. It doesn't look "next gen" thought and the graphics remind me of PS2's Mark of the Kri. Being a one player game with NO xbox live support really hurts as well. I feel like I bought a $60 movie commercial. Problem is now I dont wanna see the movie after playing the game. Im dont like platformers and dont like fighting games where you only have to push attack over and over without even looking at the screen to defeat your foe, and I hate fighting games with only one attack button. Adding a chessy evade button added no depth as you can just hold it down long before an enemies attack and the turtle will auto dodge ALL incoming attacks. Bah! I expected more! Four main charaters demand that this be at least a 2 player game; four player over live. After a hit like Rainbow six vegas, Ubi,...you dropped ball,...big time. This is a great license, but skip it if you dont want a fighting platformer. You would be better off saving $55 and downloading arcade turtle from live.
