I KNOW KONAMI TMNT BEAT-EM UPS ARE A DIME A DOZEN......BUT DON'T OVERLOOK THIS LITTLE GBA GAME, CUZ IT WILL DELIVER!

User Rating: 8 | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles GBA
By PSYCHOBILLYNERD | Review Date:
THIS PINT SIZE GAME OFFERS A FUN & FAMILIAR BLAST TO THE PAST. MUCH LIKE THE NES AND SNES FIGHTING PLATFORMERS KONAMI PUT OUT MANY TIMES BEFORE. THE GBA GRAPHIC'S ADD A CLEAN EXPERIENCE TO THE 2D ACTION.

Story (4/10)
EVEN THOUGH THE STORY LINES ARE CUT STRAIGHT OUT FROM THE TMNT CARTOON OF THE TIME, THE ANNOYING TEXT BEFORE EVERY LEVEL IS THE ONLY DOWNFALL IN THE INSTALLMENT. I COULD SEE WHY THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE STORY LINES, AN ATTEMPT TO SET THE MOOD FOR NON-TMNT GAMERS. WE COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT THIS DETAIL.

Gameplay (8/10)
THE VARIETIES OF GAMEPLAY ARE BEST PART OF THE GAME. ALL THE LEVELS ARE SHORT, BUT YOU HAVE THE CHOICE OF 3 DIFFICULTIES, TO SUIT YOUR SKILL LEVEL. THERE IS A CODE FOR "VERY HARD" MODE AS WELL. THE INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER VEHICLE LEVEL'S, ADD TO THE FUN FACTOR.

Graphics (7/10)
FOR WHAT THIS IS, THE GRAPHICS AND DETAIL ARE DECENT.

Overall Score (8/10)

General view: VERY GOOD GAME THAT'S WORTH A TRY. DON'T LET THE GAMESPOT SCORE FOOL YOU.

    Platform game with a few First Person Perspective mini games thrown in between levels. You can choose each progression through the game by selecting one of the Turtles. I have yet to select Splinter to battle it out for ... Read Full Review
