Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a 3D action and adventure game. It is the latest installment in the world of the ninja turtles. The game is a mix of an action game and a platformer. You have to solve puzzles and get from A to B and deal with obstacles more than you have to fight your enemies, which is exactly the opposite from the previous games in the series.
This game actually improved a lot in terms of graphics over the last TMNT game. Both the turtles and other characters are beautifully designed. Most of the maps throughout the game are obscure to match the mood of the movies. The major problem that you are going to experience with this game is movement. Rather, you could say it is the camera view that makes moving plain hard. For a platformer, TMNT doesn't have a great camera system that is easy to play with. When you are jumping from rooftop to rooftop or going through obstacles, the camera has got to be your friend. Sadly, that is not the case.
The combat system is not very elaborate and it really boils down to smashing the buttons with no technique at all. Enemies are very dumb and don't present a real challenge. Even the final bosses are not as hard as those in the original TMNT game back in the 90's.
All in all, if you are a TMNT fan, you are going to play this through no matter what. However, if what you want is a well-crafted game that is challenging or fun to play, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is not it.
