  • Summary: A tribute to the original coin-op classics that made the Turtles into video game legends. The game pits the four Ninja Turtle brothers against their old nemesis, Shredder, and his many villainous henchmen. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack features an all-new combination system, enabling players to string together uppercuts and roundhouse kicks to unlock a series of moves powerful enough to take out even the strongest enemy. In addition, the game will include a cooperative mode, allowing for arcade action with either a friend via local wireless, or a system-controlled Turtle brother. [Ubisoft]… Expand

    On first sight, The Turtles license seems to be promising. But the game isn’t as amazing as it could be. The textures are boring to look at and the campaign can be completed within two hours.

    A mere shadow of what a scrolling beat'em up should be. The TMNT logo isn't enough to justify such a poor game, who will particularly let down the ones who really loved the comics and the animated series dedicated to the four Ninja Turtles.

    There's no platforming, no puzzle solving, no backtracking, no nothing: you just work your way across the stage until it abruptly ends. [Dec 2009, p.89]

    First generation cell-phone games had more interesting gameplay.

    It's a nice attempt to honor Konami's previous arcade games, but it falls very short. Every stage consists of the same thing. Walk right, punch enemy, walk some more, punch more enemy's, walk, fight easily defeated boss. There's no variety. The graphics are nice, if a little blocky, and the music is decent, but not great. If it had a little more variety, it could have been good.… Expand
