<div class="IPBDescription">Rehash of my childhood</div> I have found<a href='http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/teenagemutantninjaturtles/downloads.html' target='_blank'> bliss!</a> In the new TMNT game demo. Alas, you can only be Leonardo...but the cell shading and subtlties of the game make me yern for a copy. I <b>will</b> be picking this up very soon, probably right when I get Empires.

I spent much of my childhood being drawn in by video games. School nights were spent honing my skills at games like Contra, Mario Brothers and Battletoads (<i>that's right, Contra comes before Mario in my books</i>). But the weekends were reserved for the holy grail that was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Pop and pizza filled saturday nights in my basement with my chums all playing as our favorite turtles. We played through 2 TMNT games every weekend, always playing as our favorite characters (I was always Michaelangelo). It has a special place in my heart that I had nearly forgotten untill browsing gamespot and stumbling upon this demo.

I hope some of you will enjoy it as much as I did :-D

    Martial arts games = pwn, even if it is TMNT.

    I liked the first game a lot better. Especially with those steamrollers whenever you went topside. Raphael forever.

    Leonardo was my fav, maybe its just becasue he had the swords, or he was blue, I like blue.

    Anyway, I remeber the glory days of TMNT on my NES. Sometimes it was frustrating though.

    YES!

    /me clicks

    [edit]
    I just got done playing it.

    HOLY CRAP THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

    This game is potentially better than the original TMNT Arcade game. Its that friggin good. Hell its the first 3D game I've ever seen to successfully capture the spirit of the old 2d sidescrolling fighters. And the cell shading, man oh man it looks good. You definately gotta get this demo if you were a turtle fan back when you were a kid (or if you still are)!

    I hope the full version has TCP/IP support. If it does, mmmm that'd be sexy.

    Is there a console version coming out? (Maybe have like 3 player support?) If so, I'll probably get that version. Mega mega fun...

    DOOM. I know a gamecube version is coming out, not sure about other consoles but it still only has 2 player support <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    I ALSO hope you can team up with people via the internet to play 2 player, that would be SICK!

    What good is TMNT if it's not 4 players...

    My friend has a TMNT Arcade cabinet at his house, we play it nearly every chance we can get... rawr.

    I think it's coming out for xbox and ps2 also....I read that you can only play 1 player with xbox and gamecube because it was originally made for the ps2 and it's 2 player slots....That's what I've read anyways....


    Doom, if im correct, didn't you get the Gamespot E3 DVD's? You can watch loads of the videos from it on there...




    Dear god....i hope this is the game I'm thinking about.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Four words, The Big Bad Boot.


    On a side note, there's no steamrollers. I am sad!

    Anyone find the game's a little easy?
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    probably... but I haven't found my control pad yet to give it a proper shot and I suck at fighting games of any type with a keyboard ^^;

    Since the primary target audience is 8 year olds and not us nostalgic adults, yeah, its easy.

    Its gotten some pretty bad reviews. The gameplay is very repetitive, the combat system is very small, the music is generic and the sound effects are repeated.

    Plus, only 2 players are supported.

    WHY CAN'T THEY EVER MAKE GOOD BEATEMUPS?! WHY?!
  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    Because all the good beat 'em ups are already made (Turtles in Time anyone?)?
