Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up is generally pretty solid overall, but it lacks the variety and replay value of something like the Smash Brothers series, which hurts it in the long run. The story is acceptable, there are plenty of game modes to work with, the visuals are mostly pretty, and the audio is quite good. The gameplay is solid and at times better than that of Nintendo's inspiring franchise, the game offers online and offline multiplayer, and there are a decent amount of things to unlock for fans of the game style and the franchise. However, the game lacks in variety, as there far fewer things to unlock and do with the game than in something like Smash Brothers, the gameplay isn't different or inspired enough to feel like anything but a knock-off, and the game lacks replay value as everything is either easy or tedious to unlock. All told, TMNT: Smash Up is a good value for fans, and a sequel with more characters and depth would be something worth seeing, but as it stands now anyone who isn't seriously into this sort of game or the franchise isn't going to get their money's worth from the game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been on many consoles since it was released on the NES back in 1989. Many fans of TMNT who grew up during the late 1980s and early 1990s may have watched the TV show.
So do I and watched the 1987 TMNT on TV and video tapes. I had one video tape that had the Burger King Kid's Club promo.
Glad to hear that your kids also love TMNT.
Go ninja, go ninja, go!
From the original arcade game to the most current releases, Prima Games has you covered on the history of Ninja Turtles, dude.
ahhh i remeber this game on the snes, as far as memory can tell it was either this or battletoads doubledragon as the first game i laid eyes on since birth i was below the age of four, cant really remeber it well now lol
Turtles in Time is one if my favorite games ever. And it is probably the games I've beaten the most times. My cousin and I beat it dozens upon dozens of times to improve our completion time.
It was the perfect beat'em up game.
Still hope they revisit this franchise and give it the Batman Arkham City treatment.
GotGame: We take a retrospective look back at the TMNT games throughout the years. Not every game, mind you, but the key titles that have shaped their gaming history and why they helped or hurt the legacy of TMNT.
