Teenage mutant turtles!

[charmed699]

If I read right it is pizza fest and time for some serious Shredder arse kicking today right? I am in college all day so can anyone tell me if it is on in europe too so I can download it when I come home?

It has 4 player matches as well on co op too doesnt it, so if anyone who wants to play ask me if you see me playing it later on, I need something to cheer me up. :)

Thank you and let the turtle power begin!

[Thryon]

I will have to get it when I got home... (stupid working for a living)

[Scrud]

I think the article the other day on this site said it's not coming to europe, could be wrong tho.

Just checked for you, it should be out in europe

[TRIGGER M4N]

Not available in Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore or Taiwan

[Fanappy]

I already have this game on tape and floppy disc :P thats how old skool i am ;)

[Curry]

I'm probably the only one old enough to have seen the original series a bit long ago and not give a fuck about the game huh? :+

[charmed699]

Yes sorry buddy but if it came out bnefore 1987 then I was not even alive, but even so never playhed it. Actually most old school games on xbox live are news to me like paperboy, contra and that shooting game with the fast asteroids. :)

It will be really cool to play with 3 others on co op rather than being on a killing rampage.

Ah ah just seen it came out in 1989 on the news page , guess I was in nappies while you were down the arcades.

[Fanappy]

you would have been two when it came out, it was an arcade classic then came out i think it was 1991/92 onto home computers like my beautiful amstread (which was the 2nd model to have a built in floppy disc drive)

[charmed699]

Wow and you sir have a very good memory , sorry for the nappies reference , I had one of those moments where I type before thinking!:P

Is the game like streets of rage as a side scrolling fighter, cant wait to check it out later on.

[Fanappy]

yep its almost exactly the same with a few more cut scenes and obvious character differences

[Cage]

I remember buying this for the C64.. aah, those were the days.. haven't played it much on the C64 cause it was around the same time me and my bro got the SNES with Turtles in time.. O-)

[charmed699]

Ohh I just remembered a turtle game I played on one of my friend's old GAME BOY, but I only started playing games when I was about 10 or 11. I remember being dizzy after playing the game for a while because of the greeness of the screen.

The cartoon was one of my favorites.

[Sir SpankalotUK]

what did the sideways scrolling beat em ups reinvent themselves into??

Missed market if you ask me.

[Fanappy]

since were digressing slightly C64 was a missed market it had such awesome graphics... i dunno really i suppose sideways/platform games pretty much died after doom came out with the FPS and games like sonic 3d & pitfall on the Mega CD 32x with the whole action platform style

[Chris]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are awesome. This game AND! the cartoon.

I just bought the first season on DVD for $14.99 the other day.

[PaulWillocks]

Turtles are knob heads. I'm still gonna get the game though!

[charmed699]

I just want to say that this game is truly fun and exactly how I remember the tv show. :D

I just saved April and I swear it does not look bad considering there are games on the ds looking way worser than this. It was worth asking my mom if I could use her card for points! ;)

And now I return for some more ninaj arse kicking... get this game whoever is young like me and lost out.

[PaulWillocks]

I just dont like the achievements, they are stupid.

[screamidge]

the retroness is oooozing out of my 360

Nah, thats probably just the melted heatsink.

[screamidge]

I just dont like the achievements, they are stupid.

i know what u mean it seams like they have put them in just for sake of having achievements

[PaulWillocks]

I know, the tasks they ask you to do are stupid. It would be ok if you could select individual levels to play rather than play through the whole game.

that would be cool but i think they are trying to keep with the retro look and feel of the game

just FYI to all, the secret acheivement is falling into a manhole 5 times

....really? 8)7 :X

[Curry]

I played the full game this afternoon :9~

[Rossko_UK]

So you all like my review (http://www.xboxic.com/news/2585) huh?!

:P

[charmed699]

Nice one Curry I would play with you but I have this bet that I wont touch a video game all weekend starting today. :P

It is so bloody addictive that I literally spent most of yesterday online on co op playing , because I didnt have college!

[xYouGot0wnedx]

I like this game, I play a lot of local co-op on my xbox, and I haven't gotten the chance to play online with it yet.
But it's worth the money.

[Moonbaseone]

Yes the graphics are out dated and so is the gameplay, but for a game that came out almost 20 years ago, I am not at all suprised by that. I think it good that they made this game 100% true to the arcade version.

Bottom line is, while it's not the best looking game, it is really fun with 3 - 4 players on Live. Aside from the Lag some have faced. It's still fun. It only gets old when I play it 1 player, which I don't do anymore. But with 3 - 4 players online, it a lot of fun.

Check my profile, I meant the full-full game to be released somewhere next week ;)

It's on its way to Ross now for reviewing purposes, but I had a fantastic 30 minutes with it already O+

[charmed699]

Wow any chance of the game getting lost and ending up in my address instead, my bet ends tomorrow . :P

I did notice it in your profile and I been thinking of buying this collector's edition for £29.99 on play.com.

[max2663]

I knew it :). I found it funny when people thought you meant the arcade game lol

[Curry]

The word fantastic being bold was an indication of sarcasm btw, before anyone thinks it now has the Xboxic-seal-of-approval or anything :P Ross'll be doing a full review this week, but let's just say I thought the game left 'room for improvement' based on my session ;)

[Chris]

Uh oh. ;[

[UKJAY]

I've had it for a bit now and it's one of those games like UNO...put it on when you're bored...do a few levels a time... Its really simple and easy, but enjoyable all the same despite the odd repetitive fights...

...and the point of that wassssssss......

[UKJAY]

I have TMNT the retail game, (not xbla) and Im stuck on a level boss which stands on a large circle area and jumps up and down. I think it's end of level 9. When he jumps and lands the whole floor vibrates and knocks power out of you. If anyone knows what I mean - how do I defeat him?

Thanks

[chromium]

Just got onto XBLA and this was finally in the New Arrivals in Australia.
Weird thing is, the full game was free!!!
