You know it's gunna be bad ass, this and castlevania are going to be better than anything that has come out on ps2 in a long time, and it's 40 bucks so that's definatly a plus. If you've played turtles II arcade or turtles in time you know how good a game these guys can have. If it can be close to as good on here it'll be one of those games fondly dusted off and played 15 years from now.

Pizza and Kickin Butt!

When I first saw they were making a ninja turtle game I was like...woh! This is so awsome! I looked it up, saw some pictures, and it reminded me of one of the ninja turtle games on the super nintendo. Since that game was awsome, this one has to be since the systems have gotten much much better since then. I will definetly check this game out when it is released.

These turtles aren't so tubular dude

It was a long time ago when the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, based on the insanely awesome comic by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, hit the airwaves. Now the forces of retro desperation are returning the green machines to the screen as well as every single gaming platform known to man. The story of TMNT is simple: Four wee turtles came into contact with some radioactive goop and were transformed into wee ninja turtles. After years of tutelage in the sewers by a rat-man ninja master, these ninja turtles turned into teenagers. Thatýs about all you need to know.This game is as retro as its subject matter, and it contains all the good and bad things associated with the Jurassic ýgo-right-beat-em-upý genre that made up about 97 percent of the game libraries for the 16-bit systems in the 1990s. A limited number of continues, improbable power-ups (ýOoh, someone left a floating pizza in that crate!ý), and armies of identical bad guys will remind you of the days in which consoles had only enough memory to handle 10 enemies and just enough processing power to grant you a whopping six moves. For all its throwback feel, Turtles has a lot of late-model shinyness and snappy presentation. The whole game (except a few cel-animated cinemas) is done in a nice cel-shaded look that, along with the pop-up visual sound effects (CRASH!, BASH!, etc.), gives the game a personality that takes it past similar beat-em-ups like Vivendiýs Hulk. The well-acted voice samples are way too repetitious, though, and because you fight the same enemies throughout most of the game, the combat noises get annoyingly familiar as well. Hey, itýs a beat-em-up, what do you want? How about some combat variety? While the fighting is fun for the most part, the Turtlesý limited moves make it seem like they just signed up for self-defense courses at the Y. Given the short moves list, though, the fighting action manages to be damn cool with ninjas flying and Turtles dashing about like, well, teenage ninjas.
Oh, and Konami, there are four Ninja Turtles (the theme song even counts them off). Why not give the world a four-player simultaneous Turtles game? Two-player mode is fun, but itýs just not enough. For old-school beat-em-up fans, Turtles likely will be a guilty pleasure. Itýs long, difficult, and a treat to the eyes and the nostalgic heart. Itýs just that humans have evolved a bit since this type of game ruled the world.

GREAT Game

I picked up this game last night at work. This game is AWESOME, I played it for hours on end. If you liked the classic TMNT games for the older systems you will love this game. This game is a must have for any die hard TMNT fan.

love it

This is a pretty good game. It's really old-school in the beat em up sense (but its in 3d). Good cell shading, and gameplay, easy to get nasty against large groups of enemies. Upgrade turtles and unlock new attacks as you complete story mode (Including the four player strength Gembu Turtle Power move which is supposed to vary with different power ups). Vs mode didn't seem to be very good, but 2 player story mode more than makes up for it. The only real letdown, is that they seemed to have made a new Ninja Turtles cartoon, and they based this game off of that. This means annoying repetitve battle speech and wave goodbye to the classic theme music. Worth the buy if your a fan of Turtles in time, and prolly if your a new school turtle fan as well... But it never hurts to rent first.

Looks Great, Lots of Fun, But Repetitive

This is definitely a nostalgic title, but a lot of fun!

The cell-shaded game and cut scenes look wonderful and this brings me back to the days of both the TMNT and of the arcade repetitive side scrollers.

My complaints are the same as others have said. The voice samples when attacking are plain annoying, with like 5 saying for each turtle. With the optical technology of the current batch of consoles, this is unforgivable!

Also, it's a two player game only, which is lame. Was it really impossible to make it a four player game?

Despite these flaws, it's a great trip of nostalgia and worth playing. It's a good diversion for awhile, taking you away from some of the deeper games of late.

TMNT is it really worth $39.99 plus tax?

I wasn't really interested in this game at first... but after thinking about how good the one for super nintendo was, I got it for play station 2.
The game itself has good graphics and a good story line... it is way too repetitive... and it gets old fast. You are limited to the four characters (Leonardo, Donatelo, Michael Angelo, and Raphael.) I think its better if you can choose from a variety of characters. Anyway, in my opinion, you are better off renting this game, since you cant return them at your local wal-mart :)

Ugly

The graphics are ugly and resemble a cartoon. The worst part though is the stupid phrases that come out of the turtles' mouth(talk about annoying). A game that little kids would enjoy, not adults.

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
