adventure

after hearing all the previews, and watching all the trailers i have to say the game looks great. the graphics are cartoony and thats what makes them really cool. the camara angles i saw were great. no mess up cams like in resident evil or batman dark tommaorw. so the games great plays great but theres only one thing that would make me give this a 5 of 5 is the lack of mutiplayers. there will only be 2 people it the maxs playing at once. boogus! so let hope there will be some xbox live thing.

Ok, Im a big fan of the Ninja Turtles, but im gonna try to be fair here.The graphics are awesome. Its cel shaded, which suits this game completely. The music is good, but the voices get annoying since the character repeats the same line over and over, but i got used to it.. some people wont. The controls are pretty simple to learn. after 15-30 minutes youll know what youre doing. You could get thru alot of the game being cheap and just pushing the A-button repeatedly.. but you can do some pretty cool moves using combos. The most annoying thing is that in order to save your progress you have to beat an entire area, which consists of about 5-6 shorter stages. So, say you lose on stage 5, you have to start that area over again. To save all your hard work, you need to spend about 30-45 minutes to beat all the stages in the area. Now the major thing that gets complaints is that there is only 2 player.. when most people expect 4 for this game. Well, the reason i think this is only 2 player is because of the PS2. This game was made for all 3 systems, so that hurt it slightly. Ive mentioned alot of flaws in this game.. so how bout some good things. Well, its amazingly fun if youre a fan of TMNT, and even if youre not. There is a verus mode, where you can fight a friend, and you can unlock some really cool characters in Vs mode. If you enjoy beating the shell out of endless streams of evil ninjas and thugs, youll love this game. And to tie the storyline together, they put in scenes from the new cartoon, which i found really cool. I bought this game before i played it, but i would recommend that unless youre a hardcore fan, you should rent this game first.

I was willing to overlook many shortcomings in this game such as repetitive one-liners... but the one thing that destroys this game is that you can't save unless you finish all five or six areas in a level...which is ANNOYING. Hopefully Konami will clean this up in the next game.
