TMNT: The Video Game

Classic Action (genre: GBA Action)

TMNT
Ubi Soft (GBA)

Put down your Nintendo DS and PSP and dust off that old, abandoned GBA in the back of your closet, because TMNT supplies the kind of side-scrolling action that made you want to buy the system in the first place.

Following the pace of earlier game incarnations of the classic cartoon, TMNT feels like a kindred spirit to the SNES and Arcade favorite, Turtles in Time. Pick from all four of the half-shell heroes--Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael--as they fight their way through massive levels of beat-em-up glory.

Taking notes from other immortal old-school action games like Double Dragon and Battletoads (remember them?) TMNT wastes no time on soggy storylines and Triathlon-long combos, opting for the quick-and-dirty cutscenes and simple, A-B-A-B combos of the past. That is not to say that the game is has a lack of depth. Each character has a wide array of moves and counters that keep the action fresh and full of variety.
