I picked it up for the Wii last night and have only played through the first two levels. It's not the greatest of games but it's def. not the worst either. I've noticed that the audio in the cut scenes is off from the video aswell as the sound levels for the various voice acting are random. For example, Leonardo is extremely loud and crackly while Michelangelo is quite. Rather odd IMO. As also previously stated, unless you are actually playing multiplayer, the turtles you are not controlling do seem to get in the way and not help out much.(not really a big deal)

I think what it really comes down to, Nickelodeon / Activision are targeting a younger gaming audience with this game so that makes it an easier to play video game while being half assedly entertaining to older kids / adults.

I def. do not game much and really only bought it because it was TMNT and something new for my nephew and I to play when he comes over. (will be fun when my son is old enough to play it aswell) .

Just my $.02

So I guess I'll just have to play Russian roulette and buy the 3ds version sometime.

You pirate, you.

as bad as this may be i'd still buy it if it came out for ps3. i have a wii sitting in front of my tv for two years that was used one time, but there's no way i'd pay anything over $5 for a game i'd have to play on that system.

Ninja Tiptup · 10-23-2013, 12:30 PM

I'm hoping the 3DS version is better, it looks like the 360 one is okay but the Wii version looks and plays worse than most of the Gamecube games IMO.

*ToTheNines* · 10-23-2013, 01:20 PM

Don't buy it! The game itself isn't horrible, but it's what you'd expect. Clunky beat em up with poor AI.

The "story" is bull ****. I can't believe Brandon Auman got paid for this. Ciro acted like the game is a bridge between seasons 1 and 2, but it out right contradicts both and doesn't lead into The Mutation Situation at all. Oh well, he tricked me.

Jason Biggs and Clancy Brown are replaced by some no name and Fred Tatasciore, respectively. Rest of the cast is on their game though. There's actually some pretty funny lines through out, mainly Mikey.

I'll pick it up used when the price is right. As far as the companion AI for the non-player Turtles, it's odd that they would be apparently less than helpful, since the game is seemingly skewed to a younger audience and in OotS the other Turtles were so competent that sometimes I had to be quick or else they'd take out an entire room of baddies by themselves before I could do anything. Ah well, it's just neat we can finally have multiple Turtles on-screen working cooperatively in a game.

I'm one of those types who has to have every TMNT game on my shelf, so I'll be getting this eventually, but it looks like it's going to be a bitter pill.

They don't do much, but the game's so damn easy that they don't have to.

They're actually helpful in random ways during the boss battles, oddly enough. Except for Baxter Stockman... they all just got killed by him lol.

*snake* · 10-23-2013, 02:41 PM

So what exactly is the story? Can someone tell it to me?

Nope. I buy the releases I want to play, I will always support Nintendo. I mostly did it to customize Smash Bros Brawl. I also emulate games that never got western releases & such.

wow i can't believe Brandon Auman got paid just to write a crap story i mean this guy had a really good track record of writing like his season finale of srmthg and the mutation suituation even though that was more decent in terms of normal writing cartoon's go.

*Powder* · 10-23-2013, 08:52 PM

Managed to play the Wii version. Wow. What a piece of GARBAGE. It's like a THQ game from 2001. Complete sh*t. The sound engineer should get his ears knifed off, those voice tracks sound like ass. Controls are wonky, AI is insanely bad, the action is broken up by how often the Foot fall down, the lack of vibrating controls is ridiculous. Easily some of, if not THE worst graphics I've seen in a Wii title. I paid $2.14 to rent it, and I actually miss those two bucks. This is not simply a matter of it being simple with a demographic of young children in mind, it is legitimately horrible and it's clear very little care was put into it. Considering Viacom has shown us how much they value the property up until this point, I am immensely disappointed. Everything else that's come from the buyout has been A+ but this is a travesty. Give the license to a game developing team that is COMPETENT. Give it to ANYONE ELSE.

~~Leo656~~ · 10-23-2013, 10:45 PM

Still kind of vague. Could you clarify your position a bit further, sir?

What do you think of Out Of Their Shadows?

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 10-24-2013, 12:36 AM

But lets be truthful here, we knew we couldn't expect Halo quality. The franchise is what is the selling point. But it is a shame it seems like they didn't even try... They were like "It's hard to make a video game... let's just call it a day- we're getting paid anyway!" Even though we've come to expect lackluster TMNT games over the years, it still hurts every time man, every time.

Darth Knuckles · 10-24-2013, 02:54 AM

I also purchased the game this past Tuesday but I probably won't be able to play it until Friday. I was going to buy it regardless of it possibly being terrible. I mean for one it's a TMNT game for the Wii and two I haven't bought a game for the Wii in quite a while.

At my Toys R Us they had a deal if you bought the game you'd get a $15 Toys R Us gift card with it too. That will be put to good use.

the fixer · 10-24-2013, 03:14 AM

Has anyone played the 3DS version yet? Is it the same (apparently crappy) version as on console? Or is there still light at the end of the tunnel?

The pain is too real... too soon... everytime...

I'm sure you can find his opinion on OOTS in either the "Review" topic or the sticky topic...
There are only a couple of us who found the fun in this flawed title.
I'm still playing and enjoying OOTs.

Lmao... yeah. It feels like you're playing on a lost Nintendo console that came out between the N64 and Gamecube. Sad.

Also, do not bother getting all the Mutagen canisters to unlock the mini-game. It's some stupid Galactica rip off that isn't really TMNT related at all.
