Hey, I like his style. Lots of swearing and booze sipping. And a few very accurate remarks.

I watched the rest of his video reviews and they were all fairly good, except for the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" one, where he mostly just rants over that game, without barely showing any proofs to support his critical opinion. That one was pretty boring.

[R-iZZy]

LLLLLMMMMMMFFFFFAAAAAOOOOOOO!!! OMG... I can't breathe!

[Kid Icarus]

So true. So very true.

Stupid Konami hiding as Ultra Games. Morons.

[ThirdMarioBro]

The best thing about his rants is that he never repeats the same curse twice in the same breath.

[Spitfire]

He does reuse them in the other videos though.

[愛]

You should watch the other ones he made. They're hysterical. The Castlevania 2 one is 9 minutes long, and it's all worth it.

[Peanut]

That guy is a complete tool, but it got pretty funny towards the end. I found it more funny when he talked about the crap that I remembered being horrible in the game. That pizza placement was hilarious.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

It's a coincidence i just found that review yesterday and i see this topic. His reviews are so funny most of the time, and this one obviously is my fav one.

And omg, what he says is SO RIGHT. Just what i was complaining about back in 1990 "WTF? NO KRANG? NO BAXTER? AND WHAT ARE THESE FLAME GUYS AND ALIENS?"

I only played it on the Commodore 64 then, but as he says the swimming level was a real pain, and those jumps on platforms that you have do 50 times to eventually get up on. It's one of the worst TMNT games.

Oh, and in the Jerkyll and Hyde review, he does show the proof, after much talking, but he does blab on a bit, but it really makes you not want to ever play that game! I hope he does more of these reviews!

[ThirdMarioBro]

There was a Commodore 64 version? Learn something new everyday I guess. :lol:

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Yeah and it sucked lol. I enjoyed the TMNT arcade conversion for the c64 much better at the time.

[lambofun]

So much swearing...

the swearing didn't need to be there. i understand what he is saying without the cussing.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Anyway, since this is TMNT related, shouldn't it be in TMNT videogame forum? Because i was close to posting a thread about this in that forum before i saw this last night.

[Barkworm]

Yeah, you're right.

[ZariusTwo]

The original TMNT game is excellent. It's the symbolism of how GENUALLY hard NES titles were, Mega Man and Mario Bros were of the same level, and at least they had enough sense to keep it true to the original comic designs in some way before the other titles went the route of using the classic original series

[Spitfire]

Hey I can beat the first Mario, I can't even touch this game. But yeah old games were wayyy to hard.

[Ninja Tiptup]

I will say for aiming at 6 year olds the game is too hard and should have been more related to the cartoon. But the TMNT fanboy in me enjoys this game because it's a different spin that's closer to the Mirage comics than the old show (but not the new one). They could remake this game and adapt it to the new show basically by changing a few sprites. Though it's a bit strange that it does have some stuff from the old cartoon.

It is a pretty good game though and in a sea of TMNT beat 'em ups this platforming action title seems all the more "original". Shoot it's more like Castlevania than any other TMNT game besides The Radical Rescue on Gameboy. Though I'd say Radical Rescue did this whole idea a whole lot better and added more elements of the show as well so I'd be interested to see what this guy thinks of that game. And in relation to Castlevania. I swear you could put a Belmont sprite in this game or a this games turtles in Castlevania I and it would completey natural as if it was meant to be there. And that's kinda neat IMO but also rather strange.

Though despite liking this game and this different way to play Ninja Turtles I gotta say it doesn't hold a candle to arcade beat 'em up style TMNT and he sure touched on all the frustraiting points about this game. Random enemies that always respawn, horrible jumps, pizzas in a places downright impossible to reach, pointless levels and an overall staggering difficulty for the target audience.

I think I'd like to hear his thoughts on the current batch of TMNT games. I bet he'd have a lot more swearing to throw down over those ones. Though as far as relating to the property goes... the new TMNT games do manage at least that much and Mutant Nightmare is easily on par with the great TMNT games in the past (IMO).

[DrSpengler]

As someone who has NEVER liked the first NES game...that review was fantastic.

That freakin' swimming level, god dammit...

[TerranigmaFreak]

Ah this sure brings back some painful childhood memories...

[lilonardo]

There IS a commodore 64 version! My brother had it.
Compared to the NES version, the sound quality of the Commodore 64 version of the game makes it sound more like a Sega Genesis/Megadrive game.

There was a Commodore 64 version? Learn something new everyday I guess. :lol:

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

The funniest thing about the C64 version was that Shredder as the final boss, was completely...nothing like Shredder. He was red and green, and he looks like one of those 19thcentury scuba divers. Heaven knows how they ended up with that result! Or maybe it's not Shredder, and i've assumed it to be him from the start. However, the background of this final boss battle is very similar to the NES version! I feel like chanting a "You ****ed up! chant to the makers behind the C64 VERSION.

[Jo Dawn]

Ok, I watched it and was totally unimpressed.

So much swearing...

Right. It wasn't funny, or cute. It was so annoying! His total lack of grasp of the english language made me totally annoyed with him. I'm not totally against swearing, but come on. When he learns to actually talk like a human being, I'll watch another one. I do't even recalled what he said or anything. I was too distracted. There are things like a thesauras, full of useful words that he apparently has not yet heard of.

They would be of use to him.

[Barkworm]

Actually I was just kidding. I thought the video was hilarious! :lol:

[Jo Dawn]

Well, I kinda figured, lol, that was sarcasm on your part.

But not on mine. :)

[Spitfire]

I actually tried playing this the other day. I got to the dam level and there was a jump too close to the roof and I kept falling so I quit. O_O The game isn't as hard as he makes it out to be you just have to take your time.

[Turtleman100]

I love the part where he is trying to get over and finds out he can walk over it. That is very funny. I also rember blowing in the game to make it work. wow memory you got to love them.

[shuriken]

Even though I personally like the game, he makes a lot of sense. Especially the Pizza placement with the enclosing walls, When I played it I was like what the hell is that? I'm not suicidal!! But yeah I thought the review was hilarious.

[Kaneda]

OMG i should have peed before i watched this i lmao.:lol:
"You could have just walked over it!" wow priceless thanks for sharing.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Nintendo Nerd has a new review up, it's very much executed in the same sweary manner. It's "Back to the Future", and the edits taken from the movie are hilarious!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y306cWw98a4&mode=user&search=

The guy's getting really popular now, just look at the comments below the video. If you check screwattack.com, then they might have more new reviews, but not sure still need to check.

[Spitfire]

I saw that, I think it's extreamly lacking in the humor department. Not half as funny as his other ones.

[classictmnt3]

i hope this isnt too old of a topid but i dont kno how to tell ayways i watched this on youtube a while ago and i agree with it ...so much frustration the game made me unhappy ;(
