  1. One of the best XBLA hack-and-slash classics ever to grace Xbox Live Arcade.
  2. This is one of the best action platform games in a while and for only 800 MS Points this is seriously one of the better gaming deals to be had over the long hot summer. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled is a great game and a must buy for Xbox 360 owners.

    This remake excels in its level choice, as it is fun to travel through time with the Turtles. Unfortunately, its execution is a bit too modest. Repetitive attacks and sounds are a killjoy. Whether it’s worth its 800 Microsoft Points is highly personal, but don’t forget that the Story Mode only takes about an hour.
  4. In short, don't buy this game. The fact that it only has about an hours worth of gameplay for 800 MS Points is enough to make this a stupid purchase. If you have fond childhood memories of Turtles in Time, keep them by not playing this game. it will only ruin those memories.

    I would recommend Reshelled only for fans of the old game. There isn't enough newness to it, and in many ways it's worse than the original. There's no solid replay value. The graphics, music, voice acting, and controls are much more bland, and while the action is more frantic it's hard to see what's going on most of the time, and your attacks rarely feel like they "connect". It would have also been nice to be able to jump in to in-progress games. With all that said, it's still very fun with four players online or off, and it's very easy to pickup and play. Expand

    I went in to this game with no nostalgia, so people with fond memories might feel differently. Unfortunately, the gameplay is much to bland for me to recommend. You go forward and press X. 1 hour later, you win. Co-op sounds like it would be fun, but somehow ends up being worse than single-player. The screen becomes a hideous jumbled mess from which no enjoyment is found. The game is a piss-poor value, too, with little re-playability to be had. Skip this, and go buy 'Splosion Man instead.
