  • Simple, shallow, but loads of fun. No, I’m not describing the many girls I knew in college

  • but rather Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, which is an HD remake

  • of the beloved 1991 arcade and super Nintendo arcade classic. I loved arcade brawlers back

  • in the day, and you know what has changed since then... Nothing. I still love them.

  • And Turtles in Time was one of the best. Get a friend and hit the streets as one of four

  • of the ninja turtles. I was always a fan of Michelangelo, because I always thought that

  • David is one of the great feats of mankind, and because he saiddudeall the time.

  • So, this game had a lot to live up to. The game does look really nice all dressed up

  • in its new HD clothes. The turtles look just like the cartoon and the environments really

  • bring you in.

  • The plot, if it really matters, is that Shredder has stolen the Statue of Liberty and it is

  • up to the turtles to get it back. The original was a beat emup to the highest extent.

  • You move to the right and smashed buttons and beat up the bad guys. So what has change

  • in the game besides the HD polish? Not a whole lot. Which is great and not so great. I personally

  • am and old school gamer and I don’t really need high production value or polish cut scenes

  • or multiple game modes to really get into and enjoy a game. So this game is more designed

  • for people like me, who want to go down nostalgia lane, instead of the mass public. There is

  • not much here in terms of gamemodes or gameplay.

  • The gameplay has you picking a Ninja Turtles and moving him to through the levels. You

  • move to the right and mash the buttons. You attack with the square button, jump with the

  • X and that is just about it. It is simple but also as complex as it need to be. There

  • are special moves you can perform, such as throwing your enemies towards the screen and

  • grabbing them and tossing them against the ground. But these are afterthoughts, you will

  • mostly be tabbing the attack button all game long. At the end of the stage you encounter

  • a boss, whose difficulty ranges from Paris Hilton easy to controller smashing frustrating.

  • The best part is that the game supports up to four players at once, either local or online

  • and this is the way I recommend playing the game. While it is still fun to go through

  • by yourself, nothing compares to beat emups with a friend.

  • I’ll be honest, it is a little disappointing in terms of game modes. There is your story

  • mode that has you trying to defeat Shredder, and your quickplay, which is just playing

  • story but from what level you want and also a survival mode, where you try to get as far

  • as you can on one life. The modes are a little lacking. It would have been nice to have some

  • unlocks, like the original SNES Turtles in Time. But what are you going to do. The game

  • is fun for what it is. When you download Turtles in Time, you know what you are getting into.

  • A solid and fun brawler than lets you play as a turtle. The game is not the deepest game

  • out there but if you are looking for something fun that is great to pick up and play for

  • a little bit or a fun multiplayer game then you can’t do much better. The game was fun

  • twenty years ago and I’m willing to bet it will be fun in another twenty years.

Simple, shallow, but loads of fun. No, I’m not describing the many girls I knew in college
