Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time Review

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time" has always been one of my favorite Super Nintendo games.If you've ever liked the earlier TMNT games for the regular Nintendo, or TMNT 2 in the arcades, you'll definitely like "Turtles In Time."The object of the game is to eventually get to the Technodrome and defeat Shredder.There are a lot of challenging and fun levels that you'll have to get past before you even get close to Shredder.The levels range from a dinosaur level where the foot soldiers ride stampeding dinosaurs and try to run over you, to a level where you're inside a train and you have to battle a boss in the form of a crocodile, and even some fun bonus levels.
"Turtles In Time" is a great game in every way.You can defeat most of the enemies with punches, kicks, jump kicks, powerup moves, and my favorite, by throwing them at the screen.At the end of every level are some familiar bosses such as Krang, Rocksteady, and Shredder, and even some new bosses that have never been seen before in any other TMNT game.The graphics in "Turtles In Time" are impressive and colorful, the sound and music goes good with the levels, the control is top notch, and best of all, it's one of the most fun games available for the Super Nintendo.
You can play "Turtles In Time" either one player or two player, either way it's jammed with fun.The game overall isn't too easy or impossibly hard, it's perfect when it comes to the challenge.Even after you beat the game, it's still a lot of fun to start over and beat it again or play 2 player.Even after playing the game for over 5 years, I still like playing it every now and then.If you have a Super Nintendo and if you like action/adventure games or side scrolling fighting games, "Turtles In Time" is a must have!

Turtles IV Turtles In Time SNES Review

Turtles in Time was the second Ninja Turtles arcade game released, but the fourth in a line of Ninja Turtles games released to home consoles, and the first Ninja Turtles game for the Super Nintendo. You play as one of the four turtles, and must fight through ten stages to get the Statue of Liberty back from Shredder and his goons. Halfway through the game, you'll be sent into a time warp that has you battling on trains, in the age of the dinosaurs, and the future.

Konami was on a roll when it released these arcade games in the early 90s, and Turtles in Time is the company at its best. Graphics are bright and colorful, with lots of animation and traps in the levels. Enemies are mostly Foot Soldier robots, but they come in multiple colors and carry varying weapons, to good effect. Each Turtle is different in terms of strength and speed, and each has a different special attack. There are also special moves including being able to toss enemies at the screen, and the controls are responsive. The music is also very catchy, and fits each stage very well.

Konami also went the extra mile with the SNES version. Instead of being a straight arcade port, they tossed in new levels and mixed up the bosses a bit. The additions make for an overall better game, and are welcomed.

Turtles in Time can be unlocked on the TMNT3: Mutant Nightmare game for Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox, but its the original arcade and not the SNES port. Although the game is rather short (you can literally beat it in half an hour), it packs a ton of replay value with friends, and if you own an SNES it's worth tracking a copy down.

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.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT Tournament Fighters [Nintendo Super NES] Review

There's been quite a few Street Fighter II clones, and most have been pretty shoddy. TMNT: Tournament Fighters holds up quite well, especially for Turtles fans. There are 10 selectable characters plus two playable bosses, for a total of 12. Besides the four turtles, characters are drawn from the cartoon, original comic books, and Archie series, making for a unique blend. The most interesting inclusion is Karai, who was established in the comics but only entered the mainstream with the 2003 animated series.

Graphics are well-realized and detailed, the fighters animate smoothly. Some more background animation and activity would've been appreciated, as well as unique finishing poses (instead of simply being a freeze of one of the character's moves). Music is forgettable but unobtrusive. The games' biggest letdown is that it only uses 4 buttons instead of the Street Fighter 6, but the fighting engine is still pretty good. There are even chargable super moves that can quickly turn the tide of battle.

TMNT fans will want to track this game down. Fans of the genre should also feel safe adding it to their collection.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game Review

Ok, this was 20 times better than the first Ninja Turtles game.What was Ultra/Konami thinking when designing the first game!?I'm not goin' strike at them hard because of the graphics, but the unfair difficulty, lack of actual Ninja Turtle characters, different abilities of each Turtle (making two of the four useless), and lack of connection with the cartoon series made the first game less than mediocre.Although the first game was a hit, Ultra Soft and Konami knew the messed up and they promised that the sequels will have better gameplay and characters, designed for younger kids (main target audience of Ninja Turtle fan base).

Ok, I do admit that the graphics were far inferior from the original arcade release, but a 8-bit console has techinical limitations and the game had to be designed to fit in with the limits and it has. The NES version's graphics were advanced for its time and it followed other arcade gameplays with only a few, but better exceptions.Adding two new levels was innovative (along with advertising Pizza Hut - you get a free pan pizza coupon with the purchase of the game), and so was adding three new bosses.Some of the original levels were longer than in the arcade version, but it was fun and a bit easier than the quarter sucking machine. Best thing of all were the choice of ninja turtle characters from the cartoon, with a few made up mini characters and bosses like Torra and Shogun.Rock Solider leaders, Granitor and General Tragg were the main bosses, Krang was the second to last boss (finally), you get to fight Baxter Stockman in not only human form, but also in his mutated form (instead of a rematch with Bebop and Rocksteady - probaly due to technical contraints for the NES), and Shredder may be more difficult than in the previous game, but you won't get bored in fighting him and the clones and wacking them several times with three different turtle moves (make sure you get the right one and watch out for his ligthing bolt sword).Instead of firemen, butterflies, flying robot heads, and all the other BS made-up enememies from the previous game, you get to battle hundreds of multi-colored footsoldiers whose attack and choice of weapon is unique with its color (this continues for the next two games).They also ride in helicopters, motorcycles, vehicles and skateboards.Other mini enemies include Mousers (of course), Roadkill Rodneys (from the second episode of the cartoon), Tubular Transports (flying robot flies that were used as Shredder's survalience on the third episode of the series), flying knife throwing ninjas, tigers, and more.

The levels were real fun (especially the expressway mini level where you ride your skateboard and knock out the foot soliders.The overall game was exciting and innovative and still is.The only flaw about this game is not adding a four player co-op like from the arcade (The NES just released a NES Satalite that allows two additional players in select games, so there was no excuse for not adding Turtles 2 and 3 to the list).I still play it in my old NES, so those that don't have an NES, get it for your Virtual Console, once they release it cause its fun.I will gurantee you that the third and fourth game are much more fun!!!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) Review

This game was HUGE back in 1989, and even after the sequels came out, the game was still awesome, even today, and it puts up a great challenge. Although it isn't the best TMNT game (that would be TMNT 3:The Manhattan Project), it still remains as one of the classic NES titles, even if there were times where it was frustrating.

Product Description:
The game begins with all four Ninja Turtles: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael, who can be switched between at any time during gameplay. Each turtle is practically identical besides the attack range and speed of their weapon. The player must travel through the first 5 of the levels using an overview map to enter various sewers, warehouses, and other areas which leads to the goal of each level. Along the way the player fights various enemies that range from Foot Soldiers and Rat Kings to bomb dropping blimps and chainsaw wielding baddies. Each turtle serves as a life and there are only 2 continues. Later in the game, the player is given several opportunities to rescue some of the turtles.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles released by Konami in 1989 for NES.this another great classic Beat-'Em-Up for Konami.
