Its a redbox guys if you wanted to rent the game.
k, just finished it. Probably 3-4 hours all up. It caught me by surprise doing the DMC3 thing where you have to fight enemies while the credits roll
All said and done, I really wouldn't recommend the game if you're just looking for a standard Platinum action game. Basic mechanics are solid, but I just didn't find the game enjoyable playing on my own. Bosses are grindy, mission design isn't fun. I've played every Platinum game, and I love them all to varying degrees, but this is the first game of theirs that I'm just not interested in replaying. Hell, I feel like I've already half-replayed it because of all the asset reuse in the main missions.
There aren't any Challenges to unlock after you finish the game. It seems like you pretty much just hunt down collectibles and replay missions on higher difficulties. Transformers was short and repetitive, but that game's combat is far, far deeper than this one's. The Autobots all feel different to play as, there are enough enemies to keep things interesting, the bosses are great; it's a meaty game when you really dig into it. I don't think TMNT has that depth. The turtles all feel much the same (in fact I'd kind of say the other three just feel like inferior versions of Leo), the bosses are all pretty much the same (a couple of the later ones are slightly above mediocre, maybe). There just isn't much to it.
The worst thing is that the game won't really get any better on replays due to the way its designed. You get dumped into a level, then you sit around scratching your butt until April tells you she's found some busywork for you to do (protect a thing, carry a thing to a waypoint, fight guys), then you do it, and repeat until you're allowed to go and fight the boss. This, along with the limited Continues, makes it pretty reminiscent of Madworld, at least in gameplay design. There's no way to just run through the levels to get to the fun stuff, because you're always going to have to do the menial tasks. Oh, but you get Trophies for doing each of them 30 times, though.
So, yeah. I don't know, a couple of the later levels are pretty cool and the writing seemed fairly authentically TMNT-ish (though I'm nowhere near an expert). The art style is nice, but it's the kind of art style that a developer goes with when they're aiming for 60FPS... and this is a 30FPS game. If you're going to be playing it co-op you'll probably have some fun with it. It's not the worst game I've ever played, but it is definitely my least favourite Platinum game. I enjoyed Korra quite a bit more.
Damn impressive, OP. Great job Wasn't planning on getting Overwatch, I'll pick this up instead!
Can someone confirm that this is indeed 30fps on PS4?
If so I am out.
I love TMNT, but I am out.
When Activision gives a dev more time and money.So its a bad game? When will the Turtles get a recent good/awesome game? Someone like Rocksteady did with Arkham Asylum.

Well, obviously they just don't have any faith in TMNT, which is sad. It is a pretty big franchise, loved by a lot of people.
Still, I guess for $16 it's not bad.
I was wondering why I wasn't getting any achievements. (I'm playing on hard difficulty)Odd that the Achievements aren't live yet on Xbox One. I also keep getting an error with my save not being sent to the cloud.
After reading all the great positive impressions, absolutely pumped for this game! It's going to be terrific.
Getting it a little later on and playing co-op on PS4. With some pizza of course!
Is there something wrong with the save system on xbox one, I have to start the game from scratch each time, wtf? Not only it's a bad gamd, I can't get a refound for it, I tried and now this shit, common!!!
Could you direct us all to these positive impressions?
How did you manage that?

PS3 version definitely has online co-op.Any truth to the fact that the PS3/360 version don't have online co-op?
excellent OT
too bad about the game, "Platinum-made TMNT game" sounds like a home run on paper.
Sanjuro is crazy for tortoises.
If it wasn't for Overwatch coming out same day i would of been out $50 :/
Bums me out because as a massive TMNT fan i really want to see it get treated with the same respect as Batman with the Arkham Series. I wish that TMNT/Rocksteady rumor came true
What the hell is wrong with the xbox one verdion? Did they even tested? Syncing to none existing save, online not working cause only offline mode is working, save is broken, nothing is saving for me and now I can't even start the game cause I keep getting something went wrong message? Not even achievements are up wtf? Sorry guys for the rant guys but I'm really pissed!!!

Didn't Transformers also have similar issues on day one? Or was it more twitch streaming than the other things?
Either way, having all that nonsense going on at launch is pretty poor. :\

Fuckin' Korra/Madworld alumni. That lot just do not get it each and every time.
Time to clone Saito. Solid Saito, Liquid Saito. Make Platinum Great Again.
