    Ok, but doesn't have the magic of the original

     Turtles in Time Re-Shelled is a pretty basic 3D re-imagining of the original SNES one, and while it didn't translate perfectly you'll get some enjoyment out of running through it for the low price tag.

    • Combat can be confusing at times as your player will shift great distances on the screen when striking and you can often lose track of which turtle you are.
    • It's sometimes difficult to hit in the direction you want, an optional right stick directional striking control would have been nice.
    • The Bosses feel really cheap most of the time, and there's an odd jump in difficulty from the fodder you face in the rest of the level(s). The original game had challenging enemies during the levels, all of which seem to be a push over here.
    • Doesn't have all the same original bosses, music, or challenge of the original game, feels like some missed potential on the nostalgia.
    • Short, and relatively fun to run through coop with 2-4 players.
    • For the most part they stayed true to the original level designs, even down to the traps and powerup placements.
    • Would have liked to have seen a couple newly designed levels added.

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...
