Played back to back with Brawl Brothers and actually pulled through to the final boss. While i wouldn't say it's enjoyable, it still works better for me than it's predecessor (i learned about them being part 2 and 3 of a trilogy afterwards). There's more variation in perspective, characters and fighting style / moves (has there been blocking in Brawl Brothers already? Gotta check it out again). While there's still difficulties regarding the hitboxes, it's more controllable. Unfortunately you will soon stick go the A-Button Special Punch, although it drains your energy. Given the invincible frame, that comes with it, you somehow rely on this perpetuitiv move. Then there's the specials (which i discovered half-way). I think you really have to use them wisely, before you die and use up 1 continue. By doing so, getting to the end - and also beating the final boss - should be possible easily. There hasn't been any difficulty settings, so i guess 11 Continues is the way it's meant to be played. Further, there was no music at all, of which i learned was due to got it removed via the transition from the orig. japanese version to the us one (?). So this kind of dulls down the complete experience - no comparison to TMNT TiT for example, where the music really keeps you pumped up. Overall average and no total waste of time. Story and characters (real life scanned character pics!?) are hillarious and sort of C-Movie enjoyable too.
