TMNT3 Mutant Nightmare

[Buslady]

I finally found it...well, I waited til i can get it used. $17.99

Actually it's not terrible. The previous 2 were the pitts. The graphics and movement have improved alot, the sounds clips of them are kept to a minimum..and none of that damn 'eat feet' from mikey.
What got me was during the bumper clips between the levels it would begin as the ep then boom! 3-D CGI! WOW! If only they had MORE detail and not so hazy in the image(look like they're in fog!) they'd look even better. They looked like their 2003 cartoon selves just 3-d and it works. They moved very well and were characterized right; actually the movement was very realistic and not overly exagerated. All they needed to do was add some more texture elements and wham, perfect TMNT in 3-d CGI. Maybe I'm weird, but that got me more than the game. A whole season with this look would be great.They shoulda looked into that look instead of this FF crap. Oh well...

It's a fun game..I'm having a hell of a time getting April to the escape ship though...bleah....and yes you guys ALL know who I play on there hahaha

[PizzaPower]

yea, I just bought it today! and I just got done with episode 1 and unlocked the arcade game, the arcade game is NOT like the SNES one, lol.

[Buslady]

Nope it's the ORIGINAL Turtles in Time....

[PizzaPower]

the voices in the arcade game sound really dumb, lol, the are not the orignal are they??? and I am stuck at episode 2 where you have to get the power to the elevater, lol.

[lilonardo]

The Mutant Nightmare version of Turtles in time is NOT the same as the arcade version.
The music has been changed, attract mode is reduced to just the title screen, there are no score counters, and worst of all:
MANY of the voice samples were re-recorded VERY BADLY.

[jasonorme666]

To be honest, both arcade versions were poor on both Battle Nexus & Mutant Nightmare.

I guess they just hope people will play them who can't remember them in the first place. I.e new TMNT fans.

[PizzaPower]

yea I know, lol, and I am stuck on biship, that dude is HARD!:evil:

[classictmnt3]

lol i beat bishop but i had to call my friends as well as that ninja dude ...anways i dont like the arcade vesrion on it cuz u cant liek jump and kick around very easily like in the hyperstone heist

[PizzaPower]

what do you mean not as fun?? and I have tmnt 4 for ps2 and SNES now, lol, although snes is like WAY better.

[jasonorme666]

Arcade turtles in time is the best one.

Although sadly removed the mousers, roadkill rodneys, a whole level , Bebop & Rocksteady and Slash. Dispite that, still the best one.

I'm not sure if the version on mutant nightmare is as you say bad in the jumping around and kicking area. but Hyperstone heist was quite slow compared to other tmnt games with aerial attacks.

[PizzaPower]

yea I really did not like the sega version either, to much like turtles in time.

[lilonardo]

I like The Hyperstone Heist :) .
First version of Turtles in time I ever played :) .
When I later got Turtles in time for my Super Nintendo, I was suprised about how similar it was to The Hyperstone Heist :) .

Same,

Good thing with all those games is they have enough variation to speak of them seperatly.

I liked turtles in time arcade due to its great animation, bright colours and high enemy count.

I liked turtles in time Snes due to it having mousers, roadkillrodneys, slash, rat king, bebop & rocksteady and a new level.

I liked Hyperstone heist for its different Rock Soldier design, Tatsu, different level ideas etc.

They are all great in their own way.

Unfortunatly the next gen ports didnt capture any of their greatness.

[PizzaPower]

ratking????????????????

[jasonorme666]

ratking????????????????

In the Snes version of turtles in time Ratking is the boss of the sewer level.
The arcade version however doesnt have a boss at all.

[PizzaPower]

oh yea I remember now, lol, he was in that foot water thingy.

[jasonorme666]

Yup. Thats the one.

[PizzaPower]

why did konami go and make the first tmnt game really sucky, they could have put a battle shell in the games at least.

[jasonorme666]

The first Next Gen TMNT game you mean?

I don't know, I liked that one much more than the followups.

[PizzaPower]

Battle Nexus was the best ps2 tmnt game made, the graphics WHERE WAY better.

[jasonorme666]

I played the original on the Xbox so its graphics were better ;)

But I know what you mean, in Battle Nexus they didnt go with the cell shaded graphics. But graphics aside I thought the original was still much more fun. More what TMNT is all about.

Battle Nexus tried to add depth into an otherwise arcade style designed engine.

[PizzaPower]

and the 3rd ps2 game was not.

[lilonardo]

What is this stuff Turtles on the Xbox has of which the PS2 versions don't?

[jasonorme666]

Other than the better graphics nothing. :)

wut the heck how am i the only one who tinks this u cant liek jump kick smooth as in heist w/e um who is that gooey geek who replaced slash anyways

[jasonorme666]

Cement man.

Not sure if he ever made it into the cartoons.

[PizzaPower]

he is gay.

[classictmnt3]

yeah i was very dissapointed with that part of putting him in

[PizzaPower]

it would be sooo awesome if they released all the nes tmnt games for the ps2 or whatever.

[classictmnt3]

Battle Nexus was the best ps2 tmnt game made, the graphics WHERE WAY better.
wut the graphics werent beter they were just diff i liked the first all it needed was 4 player

[Ecto Jedi]

Now that's where I'd have to disagree with you, jasonorme666. Not only were the graphics much improved in Battle Nexus for the PS2, but gone were the first game's horrid translation problems, the God-awful gameplay system (having to beat the same exact levels over and over with each Turtle: no fun), and the primitive levels full of invisible barriers and nerve-grating sound effects. Plus, Battle Nexus gave us a port of the original TMNT game (albeit an incredibly watered-down one), all sorts of collectable items and unlockables, plenty of varied gameplay modes, and an exponentially better overall presentation. (Great graphics and menu screens, 'natch.)

In my honest opinion, the first TMNT for PS2 ranks as one of the worst Ninja Turtles games ever made, period.

[PizzaPower]

it was one of the worst tmnt games, too many bad guys in a level and how they just put em there, battle nexus was the best. The first one was long and boring as well. Now I can;t wait till the new game for the movie comes out, that looks promising.

[classictmnt3]

i dont think there will be any mmore beat em ups since there making a movie game so there probably wont be a fast forward game wich actually isnt that big of a deal

Whatdya mean poor? they sure seemed the same to me. Me and my kiddo just played an original TiT game over at Castlepark...it was exactly the same.

I think one of hte nicest things about #3, ALL four are in gameplay...you can sit on yer butt and let them do the fighting HAHAHA
well, not really but next thing you realise, you've cleared a level cause everybody's kicking butt

[PizzaPower]

yea which made it WAY easy.

[Ecto Jedi]

Ugh...Don't even get me started on those God-awful translations found in both Battle Nexus and Mutant Nightmare.

[PizzaPower]

The movie for the game looks badass, I hope its really hard and long! A Fast forward game would be kind of cheesy and childish.

[Buslady]

Ugh...Don't even get me started on those God-awful translations found in both Battle Nexus and Mutant Nightmare.

Looked the same to me, hell the arcade version wasn't anything special either. *shrugs* 'course...back in the day it was one of the most poopular games out there...heh...

*remembers spending $5 in quarters on it to beat it*

[PizzaPower]

It was REALLY short, the 3rd game for ps2 I mean.

[Ohayo Kame]

wut the heck how am i the only one who tinks this u cant liek jump kick smooth as in heist w/e um who is that gooey geek who replaced slash anyways

Um, is this liek English? In the Hyperstone Heist you could dash easier because it was a button rather than holding the direction pad for a while, but I wouldn't say it was much of a difference.

Cement man.

Not sure if he ever made it into the cartoons.

Made it into? He's from the cartoons, Cement Man is a monster that was brought to life by Baxter in the OS episode #10 "Curse of the Evil Eye" and was never seen afterwards. That's also why Baxter has those weird "hand" guns (you'd have to see to understand) in the game, for some reason the arcade game has allusions to the second season.

Ahh, now it all makes sense. :)

[PizzaPower]
