    It's a bad bad game

    TMNT: Arcade Attack is just like most TMNT arcade games. You play as any one of the 4 heroes in a half shell and you run from left to right fighting bad guys. Arcade Attack also lets you play co-op with a friend or has the game's AI fight along with you the entire time. The AI is fine and does a decent job beating up guys with you. It has a style reminiscent of the classic comics and some relatively smooth graphics (for the ds). It even has co-op attacks. That's the good news. and hey, at this point you might be saying "why is he saying this is a bad bad game?". Well,  in the hour i played, i only ever fought 2 enemies at a time. That's right, 2. You walk along and fight 2 guys. Once they're down you move on and fight 2 more guys, rinse and repeat ad nauseam. The game is a total cakewalk since you have someone helping you the entire time and the enemies hardly put up any kind of fight. None of the games other features even come to mind after you've been fighting the same mix of enemies 2 at a time for over an hour. There is nothing on this planet that can make me recommend this game to another person, unless i really didn't like them. Only the most easily entertained will find something enjoyable about TMNT: Arcade Attack.

Fortunately, the Turtles' visages do not reflect these incarnations, and ...

      Puts the "ucks" in sucks. 0

      NYC begins to witness power surges and blackouts due to a temporal disturbance in cyber space. The Turtles are convinced Shredder is behind this. However, due to the blackouts local thugs are taking advantage by looting banks. The Turtles must see to the madness drowning the city before they address their nemesis. -summaryMan, there's no other way to put this, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack straight up sucks. I mean there is almost nothing I like about this game. Awhile ago I wrote ...
