They Could've Put A Little More Effort into Making This Game

Well, I must say, I was quite disappointed. We have the ninja turtles game for PS2 and that one is great, my 5 year old loves it and can play it no problem....it goes on and on and on....one level after another. This one for the Gameboy Advance however, it has 4 levels. that's it. 4 levels. My son is asking for help every 5 minutes. I have a hard time beating the guys and I am definitely a gaming mom. So, after a few attempts, I beat it. In all of about 2 hours. So...I definitely DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RECOMMEND THIS GAME. IT WAS A BIG WASTE OF MONEY OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT IS A NINJA TURTLE GAME. THE ONLY THING YOU ARE PAYING FOR, IS THE NAME.

Best GBA Game I've Ever Played....Seriously!

I have played just about every GBA game that is out there and this one has to be the absolute best! The graphics are great, the sound is excellent and the gameplay and action are in top form as well. This game is so fun, it brought back so many memories of my childhood, I used to love the TMNT way back when and this game doesn't let you down!

no need for a title...or stars

My beef is not with the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for GBA", nay fine consumers, my beef is with these bumbling idiots writing reviews for said game. Gangstah, who do you think you are? You're obviusly oblivious to what has been going on in the world of video games in the past 20 years. Oh wait, did I hear you b****ing about the game being 2-D? oh yes, I think I did sweetyummins, I think I did. Traditionally when playing a game on the gameboy or gameboy advance you would expect a two dimensional title ; now a days everything has to be fancy and games are all about the graphics and sounds and..well, really, they lack any and all substance. There is no challenge. It's all about the money for these a**holes. The side scroller is a lost art. Why wouldn't the game be in 2-D hu?hu?hu? What's so bad about it? Does it really make the game that much better if its three dimensional, no jacka**, it doesn't. On the contrary the time and effort they usually put into making it look all fancy for p**** heads like you usually means that time is taken away from making the game challenging, or interesting for that matter. Wake up and smell the roses. It's not all about how the game looks buttercup. Oh and get a god damn life..pssh who the f*ck writes online reviews for gameboy advance games at target.com any how???

TMNT are back... but are they as good as they once were?

Someone once told me that fashion and trends tend to repeat themselves every 20 years or so. He-Man is back, Pretty Pretty Princes is back, Rainbow Bright has returned, as has Care Bears (which has my wife very happy), and Strawberry Shortcake... and so too have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles returned with an updated look and style designated for a modern audience.
I remember watching the old cartoons as a kid, and playing the old Konami Ninja Turtle games in the arcade, and on my NES or Super NES and loving them. Then the fad fizzled out. I lost interest when I discovered X-Men, a story I've been following since I abandoned the Ninja turtles.
Having beaten all my GBA titles thus far my wife and I went searching for an inexpensive new addition to keep me occupied during slow time at work. That was Saturday... today I am rearranging my budget to look for a new game to keep me busy at work during down time.
Its not that this game is bad, far from it, its just ridiculously short. This game takes about three hours to clear completely, with next to nothing to extend the game play or encourage replay. Worse yet there's no two-player modes at all, and as far as I can tell no unlockable secrets. Also the stories seem to be based on episodes from the new series, which could explain why there seems to be such a minimally connected narrative between the games "chapters". Played even remotely out of order and it will make the story completely incoherent. (I recommend playing Leo, Raph, Mike, and then Don for the most coherent story). This game is a lot of fun, but there simply isn't enough of it. It was fun to relive a piece of my childhood, but overall I wish I had gotten Metroid Zero Mission instead, even if it did cost a bit more.

COWABUNGA DUDE, A RADICAL GAME!

This games gotten a few reviews saying it doesn't compare to the other systems, well, screw them, this game rocks!

It's kind of based on the 1990 arcade version, mixed with a little bit of street fighter, star wars and a few other things.

I was hesitant to play this, seeing as how I'm a fan of the old school turtles and not the new one, but this one actually is a great game!

You pick one of the 4 turtles and do 4 missions each for each turtle. You do a stage like the arcade, kind a double dragon style thing, beat up the bad guys, once you complete that you do a bonus stage, Mikey has a cool skate board through the sewers where you have to jump oil drums and collect pink diamonds. Leo has a cool Star Wars kind of bonus where you drive through the sewer in something or other and shoot incoming mousers flying at you out of the water. Raphael has a street fighter kind of match against Casey Jones, they they have a drag race on motor bikes and the next round Casey helps[........]. the fourth stage is a boss to beat, or boss'

I think there may be 5th stages on harder difficulties. And I sure will be trying those out soon, so it does in fact have replay value!

I guess for those playing the 3D games, this one might seem lame, but i love 2D games, I was around when Atari first hit the homes and I've played them ever since... and 3D games these days look cool, but not a lot of them have the fun and replay value as a lot of the older 2D style games. And these TMNT games loosely based a Double Dragon style beat em up is my kind of thing.

A big difference between this and the original arcades is this one has improved moves and attacks, so you aren't mashing buttons all the time, I'd say its a button masher free game! I guess the reason I like it so much is that it's almost a newer version of the old arcades, PLUS it also has some elements from the original nes game if any one remember it. When I was playing as Donatello, there is a few things here and there where you push up at a computer and kind of reprogram it or something... it reminded me a lot of the water level of the nes game where you had to defuse all the bombs in the damn.

Overall, I love it, it features something from every old skool TMNT game that I grew up loving and this one has became an instant favorite the moment I started playing it!

Highly Recommended for those old skool fans of the original arcades and nes ports. And I cant wait to try out the other GBA TMNT games.
