    A Review For The Ages: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled

    Yup, corny review title, but it's late, and I wanted to write a review for the game after just playing it. Turtles in Time Re-Shelled I describe as combat fun. Just a simple brawler. I liked the visual presentation being widescreen but the turtles did look pixelated on my tv around their edges. The music  does not offer variety, and there is no reference to the old Ninja Turtles theme song, as seen in the trailer. 
     
    During combat, I found the Y button kick attack to be a bit overpowering. I only played on Normal so far, but I certainly survived more than I should have by just mashing the Y button when life was critical. 
     
    I'm playing co-op tomorrow, but I anticipate the game to not change much, so I think I can still review the game even though I haven't played co-op yet.
     
    Raphael was my first choice, and he was equal to the task. The other turtles will probably be the same.
     
    Final verdict is that it was a good purchase at the 800 points level. $10 for a game that I played in the arcades is a good investment for me. I wouldn't have purchased the game if it was higher than 800, so I like the pricing here. I give the game 3 1/2 stars, because it brings back good memories, and the certain fun factor still remains. I recommend spending $10 and purchasing the game if you're a fan of the turtles franchise. I don't think the game will disappoint you.

      Growing up, I was a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I remember watching the cartoon on TV, playing the NES games, arcade games, and every now and then I tend to play through the SNES version of Turtles in Time. When I heard that they were bringing one of my favorite games of all time to Xbox Live Arcade, you could imagine how pumped I was to finally play this game online. Now that the game is finally out, I can honestly say that the game retains enough of what I loved about the Nin...

      It's been a while since the arcade release of Turtles in Time. It's gone down in history as one of the greatest arcade games of all time and for good reason. It was a great beat em' up that let 4 people play on the same machine at one time. It truly was an experience to behold. But games have progressed a lot since then and old school beat em' ups just don't hold up as well anymore and this remake of Turtles in Time is no exception.  In Turtles you get very few play modes. There is Story mode th...
