I liked this game as a kid... but I was a stupid kid, you know what I mean? But the hype leading up this game back then was unmatched. I was an Arkham fan, and this game LOOKED like the answer to all my prayers. Realistic looking turtles, freeflow combat; so when it dropped, I desperately overlooked its horrible snails pace gameplay and buggy missions. I actually have a deep rooted memory of me being so frustrated with the Baxter Stockman level because my game kept bugging out, that I was actually seeing red. And I remember thinking: "WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!" Well, 10 years later I finally have the answer: I WAS PLAYING THIS DAMN GAME! THAT'S WHERE I WENT WRONG!

IT'S NOTHING LIKE ARKHAM, EXCEPT MAYBE THE FACT YOU CAN FLY LIKE 5 FEET TO KICK SOME GUY IN THE FACE ACROSS FROM YOU - BUT OTHERWISE IT'S JUST A BORING GAME. I made up excuses to like this game but deep down I always knew it was biting off more than it could chew. But you know what? If this game came back to the Steam store (and it did, and I bought it, then they took it away, boohoo) I would probably replay it... again. The duality of being a TMNT fan. With nostalgia. It's not pretty. But if you aren't either a fan or nostalgic, just know that I wouldn't wish this game on my worst enemy.
