An ultimately solid 3D brawler that falls apart on the final two stages. I had always thought as a kid that I got slightly boned on just having the GBA game, but this is one of the rare instances where the handheld game is leagues better than its console counterpart. Besides getting some concept art unlockables in the console version, and equally fantastic original music, everything is done better in the GBA version.
Is this worth playing for TMNT fans? Sure, I got a lot out of it and even though I refuse to go for the true ending (just watch that shit online lmao) on this stint, I wouldn't mind going through the entire game with more turtles with friends or family.

This might be nostalgia talking, as this was the very first GameCube game I ever played 20 Christmases ago, but I genuinely don’t understand why critics at the time slammed this game so hard. It’s fine. It’s not much more than fine, and I can’t genuinely recommend playing it, but it’s not nearly as bad as the reviews would lead you to believe. As far as licensed games go it gets far, far worse than this.
This could've done with some better difficulty settings because I remember it feeling obnoxiously hard towards the end and these types of beat-em-ups simply do not need to pretend they are high-skill games.
Regardless, I really loved the majority of the game and thought the cut scenes from that era of the cartoon was a great way to move through the plot.
