Nintendo Power Review - 5.0
 
the new issue of nintendo power gives the game only a 5. and they are usually pretty nice with their reviews. i was thinking it would be about a 7-7.5 realistically.

I'd hate the game too if I had to play it with that ****** Wii remote.

Quiet_Guy 03-16-2007 11:05 PM

I don't care what Nintendo Power says, I'll still enjoy it for my Wii. Didn't they give Wario Ware a good score? I don't like that game. Reviews mean nothing.

poobone 03-16-2007 11:52 PM

what can i say, this game was built for a controller, and like most games on the wii, the controls are just a big negative factor. Glad I've got my 360.

Quiet_Guy 03-16-2007 11:54 PM

It's funny how you guys can write a game off without even playing it first. Oh well, as long as I enjoy it!

I've always found Nintendo Power to be a bullsh*t publication, anyway.

i don't think anyone has said they aren't getting the game based off of a nintendo review but it is nice to know what others think before they buy. i'm getting the ps2 version and those with multiple consoles who were debating possibly between the wii and say the gamecube version will now have something to base their choice off of.

At first I thought "WTF", then I realized it was Nintendo Power. It's the Wii version. Of course that's sh*t. It was a side game they developed. I'll look for the reviews of the 360 game. If it can at least be "Prince of Persia Lite" with green dudes, then we're good.

The GBA game is sold regardless. It's a freaking brawler for crying out loud. The dying breed. One more Ninja Turtle brawler (the best of the best) for the road. It won't touch Turtles in Time, but hey, I don't want it to.

I hope the 360 game turns out decent. I'd like to give it a go.

I think it's fairly clear this game is going to blow. That first trailer showed so much promise, now it just looks...exactly like I thought it would be. Cash-in on a kids CGI movie license.

Mecha Cow 03-17-2007 09:38 AM

A mediocre licensed game? From Ubisoft? Shock and awe.

Seriously people, you are trying way too hard to like this game just because it's TMNT.

Sonic777 03-17-2007 12:24 PM

Maybe not for the wii but other systems may have hope.like the ps2 or the xbox 360.

LogicDonny 03-17-2007 01:18 PM

It is a shame the game got a 5. I wonder what the gba and gamecube version got otherwise. I am hoping ign gives a better score than what nintendo power is. Let all find out and see.

I think you hit the nail on the head there.
Reviews are there to help people decide if something is worth buying, so fans shouldn't just dismiss them, they should be pissed off at Ubisoft for making such an average game.
If all reviews are negative, well surely that says enough, and it's in keeping with licensed games reputation.

I agree with you too peanut, that first trailer showed great promise, and the funny thing is the game looks worse now.
Back then it was dark and atmospheric with great combat sounds and cool moves(leo vs foot ninja) but in the demo when you attack an opponent you get a dull thud.

None of the new TMNT games have gotten any good reviews, but it hasn't stopped me from getting any of the games. I have TMNT 1, 2 and 3 for the GameCube and have the TMNT movie game pre-ordered for the Wii.

I know that'll I'll enjoy the game. I've liked every Turtles game I've played. The first TMNT game from the NES will be on the Virtual Console for Wii very soon. It's already been added in Australia.

Hey, maybe we can give each other tips for the Wii version. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully Mon. the original NES game will be up here in the States for download.

JohnnyFoxDarko 03-17-2007 07:33 PM

I am a TMNT fan, but that doesn't mean that I expect an average game that I'll buy nonetheless because I am a fan.
I should get the game for it's quality.
I think Ubisoft was really close with this one, but I'm sure they could have made it alot better.
Still, we'll have to wait and play it ourselves, even if some people have played it already and say it's short and just an average game.

#1 reason why i haven't bought a TMNT game since genesis days. quality > fandom.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Reviews are made by dude's who know nothing but gaming and they rate games by their own standards which has nothing to do with whether they like it or not although that does play a small part. I for one have played the recent TMNT games for the PS2 and have found them rather enjoyable even though the reviews have slaughtered the games to no end. This doesn't mean the game itself is bad, it just lacks in certain areas of gameplay and design. Of course the guy could just be an @$$hole and dis this game but that wouldn't make any real sense now would it? It all depends what kind of games you like. If I get a chance to play it I'm sure I'll enjoy it. It could still be crap though :) .

Kendamu 03-17-2007 09:24 PM

Well, the only thing that's making me kind of iffy is the Wii controls. If the controls turn out in multiple publications to really suck and there's no GC controller option, classic controller option, or customizable controls then I'll just save myself $10 and get the PS2 version.

Raph'N'Roll 03-17-2007 09:28 PM

Yeah I know what you mean, being a fan can mean you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of it even if the game aint that great.
After all the negative stuff I've said about it, I still have the urge to buy it, and to be honest I probably will.
I mean the demo was OK, and right now I'd love to play a TMNT game, especially after just seeing the movie.
