The heroes in half shells are back, and they've brought a videogame. Remember the late eighties? We remember endless arguments about who got stuck with playing Leonardo in the playground and trying to fit giant fans to our skateboards . At the age of 20 we should have known better, but never mind.
So, just in time for the movie of the same name, comes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You'll have to leap, crawl and fight your way through the back alleys of New York to save the day.
The bad guy in the scenario is a nefarious chap called Max Winters who, after he loses his job, decides to build himself an army of monsters to do his evil bidding. We've all been there. Enter the Turtles to mess things up for him. Unfortunately, the Turtles are struggling to hold it together as their family starts to break apart.
You'll need to harness a bevy of ninjitsu moves to make it out the other end alive. Each Turtle has its own moves, best utilising their weapons and acrobatic skills to take foes down. As the game progresses, teamwork becomes crucial, and you'll have to pull off some spectacular tag team moves. You can also shift into 'Turtle Time'. If you string enough moves together, your reactions will speed up (or your enemies will slow down) and you'll be able to go at them full tilt.

Having played a really liked the 360 version I though this game would be well suited to the wii but i was wrong. The game just doesn't feel right. |
