Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

The original Ninja Turtles was a lot different from its sequels; instead of the arcade action, this was a platform sidescrolling adventure which occassionally transitioned to overhead map views and cruising around in the turtle van.
THE GOOD
It was fun, of course.You got to change your turtle within a mission and select different weapons that you collect along the way.The music was good, especially when considering the time period of this game.Some might this as a burden, but I enjoyed its difficulty.As I've said in my other reviews, this game was made back in the day when NES games kicked your [...] and forced you to defeat it on its own terms.When comparing this to the much easier 2,3, and 4, I enjoyed this much better (but I still like the others for their multiplayer ability, don't get me wrong).
THE BAD
While this was difficult and I enjoyed it, there were some things that do place a detriment to the game.The turtles are uneven in their abilities.Leonardo has a long reach, but is the weakest of the four (why do that to my favorite turtle?!).Mikey is not much better than Leo in terms of weapon power.Raphael is good for his fast attacks despite his up-close range.Donatello pretty much defeats all of them because he is the strongest AND has the farthest reach.You could beat this game on him alone.
If you're a fan of the Old School NES, you will no doubt enjoy this game (or perhaps just a fan of the Ninja Turtles in general).It's a good platform game that is unique in comparison to the sequels that followed.Today's gamers will no doubt turn away from it because of its dated graphics (which aren't bad, especially considering the time period) and its more difficult levels.
"It's too hard!"
Well, I suggest you try harder.This game doesn't spoonfeed you; it's a difficult adventure.So strap on some turtle shells (and even a game genie if you want it) and some weaponry and engage yourself in a classic game.
