  1. One of the best XBLA hack-and-slash classics ever to grace Xbox Live Arcade.

    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.
  3. 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.

    On my first play of the game, I loved it but felt it was way too short. On my second playthrough using another turtle, I realized that the turtles have their own unique special attacks, which changes things up a bit. That allows for 4 unique playthroughs using all of the turtles. Then I considered the Quick Play and Survival modes, not to mention 4 person co-op and the game suddenly seemed like a much better value to me. I’ve made my way through about half of what’s to offer so far, and it’s been fun all the way. I’d say I put in about 6 or 7 hours so far, so I figure I’m getting about a dozen hours for my scratch. Not a bad deal. Expand

    Terrible remake. They removed all the great music (didn't even remix it!), removed all the great battle quotes, changed the fighting engine for the worse (special attacks don't even drain health now), and made numerous other changes that ruin the experience. They didn't even bother to balance this out by offering new content, more moves, making the turtles more unique, etc. All in all, the whole experience is a childhood train wreck. Don't waste $10 on this. Go hunt down the SNES cart or something. 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.
