TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan Video Game Vault
 

Screwattack's Video Game Vault has finally added the Game Boy's TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan into it's hallowed halls. But how does it rate?

The reviewer is a douche bag. That game rules.

It is very easy, but it was the only Turtle game I owned as a kid and I loved it!

I own the Japanese version of this game no idea what they are saying in the cut scenes but it is a pretty fun game to play love it.

I'd say the first two GB games are rather barebones action/platformers. The third one is the only one with real meat on it. I haven't had fun with Fall of the Foot Clan or Back From The Sewers since I was like 12.

Especially for the time. Game Boy games were far less ambitious back in the day. And kids who couldn't beat the NES game could beat that one!

Here's a way to make this game challenging: try playing though the entire game without losing any health. Otherwise yeah, it's painfully simple. The nostalgia factor is all this game has going for it.

Might I recommend someone go to blip.tv and search for my "Lets Play" of it...where I get my butt handed to me by a game I could easily beat as a kid. I tend to blame the fact that I'm talking over the game play for my seeming lack of skill...you can choose to believe that or not.
Heck, I posted it on thatguywiththeglasses.com's blog system:

For a game that came out in 1989, it was awesome.

And yes, I am aware on the same system we got the likes of Link's Awakening and so forth.

It's ok. The games became increasingly better on the GB as they progressed. Radical Rescue is the best IMO, but for it's time it's not too shabby. Miles better than the Batman game on Gameboy. ugh And the Nes game is one of my all time faves. EVER

I also agree that Radical Rescue is the best of the original GB trilogy in terms of gameplay/concept, but Fall of The Foot Clan is still a fun/simple romp that I find myself going back to periodically, even after all these years.
