Disappointed with the flashback in TMNT game

[Gothamite]

***TMNT GAME SPOILERS***

Spoiler:

I was a bit peeved playing the Shredder flashback level, to be honest. They had the Shredder design from the 2k3 cartoon, which is great and all (my favourite design of Shredder, in fact) but they completely retconned TMNT 2's 'Super Shredder' in favour of some stupid 'Replicating Shredder'.

Does this mean that they've just completely retconned TMNT 2 altogether? Man...

[Spitfire]

Not really since his helmet was on their mantel in the movie.

Plus it's the movie game the story isn't even the same as the movie.

Jesus the GBA game follows the story more closely. Kinda sad haha

But yeah that battle was crap.

[Spawn Guy]

That and we can all really afford to learn what the term "A loose basis" means.

[Kendamu]

Well, loose basis is fine... but I think to make the basis a little less loose they should've at least

Spoiler:

made the battle take place on a rooftop or by some docks or something. The whole "nature scene" thing totally took it out of the ballpark when trying to base it off of previous films.

But, I can deal with that. What pissed me off what that the Shredder battle was so damn easy! I thought they'd make it out to be one of the toughest battles in the game.

Just my two cents.

Spoiler:

But Goonga, all of the battles in the game are easy! Still, the Shredder battle actually has the potential to be the hardest -- or at least the longest -- provided that you keep attacking the clones and never attack the man himself. I'm not sure how long he'll keep producing them (there's a bar for stars, so I assume that you can eventually hit the mega attack mode... and then who knows how long it would go?), but I think I got him to make three sets before I accidentally killed him one time.

He says some cool stuff the longer you leave him standing, too! Okay, maybe not THAT cool, but still. SPLINTER'S STUDENTS ARE WEAK!

what are you talking about, I did not have Shredder in my TMNT game.

Really? Did you finish the game yet? Or do you have one of the handheld versions? I don't know if he appears in them.

Also, regarding my last comment...

Spoiler:

apparently he'll keep producing them indefinitely if you leave him alone. I lost count of how many he made, but considering that I got the ten stars to build up twice during a single fight, that I killed multiple Shredder clones during those periods, and that he hit me once (darned shuriken!), I'm guessing that I took out well over thirty Shredders during that battle.

Don said the thing about him having a replicator like three times.

[Cascadia]

I have PS2 and I have finished my game.

The only thing I can think of is you fell asleep during the battle. He IS in the PS2 game.

Believe me, nobody can tell you what a 'loose basis' is better than me, after Superman Returns.

Spoiler:

I just thought the battle and the Shredder design was a cop-out, when we could have had one of the coolest battles that never was. I am of course, talking about the Super Shredder-V-TMNT non-battle from TMNT 2.

Spoiler:

Okay, I just made a video of me dragging the Shredder fight out for a loooong while (and, as he notes multiple times, being kinda careless while doing so). Good times.

[Rooish]

What I liked about this fight was that they mixed up the combos a bit. Leo uses Raph instead, and Raph uses Mike.

[Kendamu]

I never noticed that about the combos.

Spoiler:

About dragging the fight out to make it harder, it was obvious from the beginning that going for the real deal was the only way to take all of them out. They could've at least given him a ******** of HP and made him move around so you lose track of which one's the real one like in the old arcade game.

[Coola Yagami]

" 1...2...3 Shredders! Muah ah ah!'

Oh geez... the lines they used during that fight....

[Raven]

that fight was pointless, sure it was to tell a small part of the story but my god was it just slapped together!

At least the game isnt horrible, this one fight was the only real thing that pissed me off big time....

I totally agree with you...that fight was totally lame, & I was disappointed to see a recycled version of Shredder...the dialogue during that portion of the game was really lame too

[odupianist]

I like the Sesame Street reference lol

Yeah it sounds like he totally stole The Count's Line. Man that was such horrible voicing, and even though I haven't played that game I would probabaly just go for the real one himself in the first place. He doesn't seem too hard. That's probabaly the easiest Shredder incarnation (other than the original NES game) to beat. Although some may argue that he was easy in Fall of the Foot Clan... Ok I should stop rambling.
