Gamerscore Whores Rejoyce (TMNT Review)

I got TMNT for the long weekend as I heard it was a quick 1,000 achievements and the Ninja Turtles rock! After taking my daughter to the movies, which kicked arse, I thought it might be fun to have a go at the game.

Gameplay
It took me all of six and a half hours to complete and over all it was an enjoyable platform game with some interesting fights.

The platforming looks very cool when you are doing it right (which is easy for the most part) but the camera in some parts makes it almost impossible to know where you are meant to go, which is a real pain as you loose time when you fall to your doom, which makes it hard to get an A+ the first time through a level.

The fights normally involve being swarmed by a large group of bad guys that you have to kill (make fall asleep and go invisible) using your ninja skills. Each of the turtles have a slightly different fighting style and a special move that you can do with another ninja turtle. For the most part the fighting is fun but can get pretty repetitive throughout the game. There are also some boss fights but they aren't particularly great.

Graphics
The game very much looks like the standard fair for any multi-system port. The graphics are nice, albeit not up to the usual standard of a 360 exclusive game. It has nice animations but nothing really special.

Sound
The sound is OK but nothing special.

Online/Muntiplayer
This game has not muntiplayer options.
Extra Crap
As you pass levels depending on how well you do you get coins that you can trade for scenes from the movie, pictures and outtakes etc. Sadly all of the movies are very short and not worth the extra effort to complete.

Overall
TMNT is a great rental, you will have fun and even get 1,000 gamerscore for your efforts. My daughter loved watching it but didn't play it as it is a little hard for a eight year old to play with some of the jumping levels (even I was considering giving up on the last level.).

What Didn't Suck

• Fun to play.
  
• An Easy 1000 gamerscore.
  
• The whole family can watch.
  

What sucked

• Bad Camera in places that let me fall to my doom.
  
• Does not follow the story from the movie at all.
