Arcade Version 2003

Konami must have made a million dollars when I grew up playing the TMNT arcade games, so they have finally given us gamers something to fall back. The new game is pretty much identical to the old one, with a few surprises mixed in. The reviews are harsh, originally you fought only foot soldiers in different colored costumes, so at least seeing different enemies is fine enough for me. I'm a bit older now, so I don't follow the cartoon at all, but must say the snipets inbetween stages is great to keep someone like myself up to speed. The new version is more true to the old comic book. In all, the buton mashing is just like the old one, though the sounds do get annoying. I have to give the graphics a 5.0, because they do shine throughout, giving you the feeling of being in the actual cartoon. I own this one, but I for any skeptics (like I was) at least give it a try, and you'll agree that if all your looking for was a revived TMNT arcade-like challenge, then this one will grow on you too. PS> I must agree with Gamepro's logic on this one. Not being able to use all 4 turtles in co-op sucks, but hey, at least there's co- op!
