PSP version garbage!

So I am playing through my friends psp and he has tmnt so he let me try it.

Here's 1 word for you.

Garbage.

They took the ds engine and port it to the psp and it looks so crap. I tell you.. This is the worst TMNT game I ever played. you have to jump from point to point and you collect pizza icons, tmnt letters and all..

The fighting system is terrible. It feels so clunky and feels so bad. I am very disgusted.

The graphics ewww what is wrong.

Also the other thing is you see like still scenes from the movies, they showed leo coming from the plane like in the movie. There is no voiceovers what so ever.

I only completed 7 levels and so far this game is garbage. I'm sorry I think I will stick with the console version. Expecting a ps2 like tmnt console based on your psp. look somewhere else.. This is ds on the psp lol.

Wow. That sucks. If it's a port of the DS verison that means the DS version probably sucks, too. Oh well, that just leaves me either the Wii or PS2 version and the GBA version. Woot! I won't be totally broke over the next couple of weeks!

Wrong. The PSP version is a port of the PS2/Xbox/GC/360 game. Both the DS and GBA games were built from the ground up for their respective handheld.

No, and I don't plan to. I've followed the coverage on various websites, though. It's pretty common knowledge that the PSP version is ported from the consoles. That's what happens with every other licensed game anyways. A DS to PSP port would just be ludicrous.

I watched videos of the ds version lsat week and the same level mikey was going down the skateboard it was just like in the psp version.. other ppl have also said the psp version is the ds version.

This is not the console version of tmnt.. I played the pc demo and didn't see nothing of what the pc demo was all. In the psp version, you go on a linear path and you go to these blue dots and push the triangle button to jump foward
then the square button left or the circle button to go right.. the blue dots are where you land and all that..

Every single videogame website on the interwebs says otherwise. Looking at screen shots alone you can tell these aren't the same game, especially graphically. The PSP smokes the DS.

It is.. I mean i remember in the pc demo I can jump whenever I want. you can't.. you have to stand on the blue dots and you have to jump in the direction it tells you and you can't jump back.. it's all forward sh*t.. Terrible.

this is the ds port. watch guys you buy it you will see how bad the psp version is.

I forgot to mention I didn't really play all the way to the end. There are no voiceovers at all.. just text. hardly any cinamatics.. no intro or nothing just leo returning to new york via plane and there is text in the movies. there are also still scenes of the movie too.

unlockables are gain by collecting coins collect all gold medals in a level by completing fast and get the TMNT letters and the turtle face you are playing and then there are a couple.

watch these videos then play the psp version. compare the level layout.. same exact thing.

Wow. You're right about that. Then why is it every PSP preview talks about the game as a port of the console version? Did they just scrap it all-together? Either way, it looks awful.

no it isn't the console version. I would know already because I played the pc demo lol.


well i played some of the battles, you have to push the x button to attack and square to block, you learn new moves but the battle animation is pretty bad.. it's not fluid like in the demo i played on the pc.. i expected this game to be better.

new update : the game majority levels take palce on the rooftops and it just so bland.. The psp visuals are much cleaner than what the ds offers but still it is a pretty bad version of TMNT. I wished Ubisoft would have taken the ps2 version of tmnt not the ds

Sorry I mean I was disapointed I was playing a version of TMNT not similar to the console version with great voices and all that.

You might want to brush up on your homophones, yourself.
