Best TMNT game of Last Gen

*Zachatello00* · 02-05-2009, 04:12 PM

We were talking at work (GameStop) about which Turtles game was best for the Gcube, Ps2, and Xbox generation. We mostly decided around the first game, but I was wondering what other, actual TMNT fans thought.

Oh, I guess GBA too.

I really enjoyed playing the PS2 game "TMNT". The one based on the new movie.
That one is most likely my fave of that generation.

That's funny, that's the one that I hear gets the most complaints

I liked all of them, but I'd have to say the GBA movie game, followed by Mutant Melee (as tough as that game is).

Yeah, I would have to say the first one for PS2 was the best, but then again thats not really saying all that much.

How could "TMNT" for PS2 possibly get any complaints? The ONLY one I can think of is that it's only for one player. That's it.
It's otherwise near perfect and the closest thing to the perfect Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game that I've had on my mind ever since "Turtles In Time".
I always wanted to play a TMNT game with the kind of graphics and feel that "TMNT" has. Being able to venture the city and sewers the way you can in "TMNT" is practicly a dream come true. One step further would be if you can actually deviate from the path and go into other random buildings and places. That would be awesome.

I don't know, ask the folks that complained about it. :/ I personally enjoyed it.

I've only got two of the modern games and I don't like either of them. The first 2k3 game, which I sold because I was having nightmares of "Slice 'n Dice" (Though I wish I kept it for the cutscenes). I also got TMNT, which was a huge disappointment. I've thought of selling it once or twice, but it ain't worth a thing since the full thing comes free with toys.

My sister had the GBA version and it looked like a lot of fun compared to the other ones. I'd like to play that one and the 3rd season game one day, as I hear decnt to good things about both.

*R-iZZy* · 02-05-2009, 11:32 PM

I prolly liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare the most. Customization, four-player no matter what (with CPU-operated teammates), team moves; that game was definitely a vast improvement from the previous games. Not trying to toot its horn as though it were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, but for the last generation, it was definitely the best one for me.

*Spitfire* · 02-05-2009, 11:53 PM

The TMNT movie game for GBA, seriously it's probably the most fun I had playing a turtles game in the past several years.

*Kendamu* · 02-06-2009, 01:35 AM

The two I enjoyed most were the GBA game based on the movie followed by the first 2k3 game on Gamecube.

rav4ge · 02-19-2009, 01:04 AM

The TMNT 2003 GBA game was pretty fun, I remember beating it over and over. They tried to add in some mini games (not sure what else to call them :/)here and there which worked well. Haven't played the movie one yet.

*Wes* · 02-19-2009, 04:25 AM

Hmm... I think the TMNT movie game (consoles/PC) is the best TMNT game of the last gen systems. True, it has its flaws (I hate the wonky wall-running mechanics), but most of my complaints with it have to do with it not being what I would have expected of a TMNT game. For what it is -- a simplistic 3D platformer with the occasional fight sequence -- it's pretty great.

The other TMNT games, on the other hand, aren't completely flawed, but they're pretty mediocre for what they are... which is even more unfortunate given that what they are invites direct comparisons to Konami's beat 'em ups of old. The GBA games are decent, but they're still on the level of games we saw even in the early 90s.

Vivi · 02-19-2009, 08:07 AM

i second the TMNT movie game, although i have finished it and need to earn a few hundred thousand shell dollars to unlock some things... but I love platform gaming.

it's good to hear the GBA game is highly rated here, will have to give it a go.

NiNi · 02-19-2009, 12:34 PM

I personally liked either Mutant Melee for Gamecube or Mutant Nightmare for the PS2. But for handheld consoles, the TMNT 2007 game for the GBA was rather fun.

*shuriken* · 02-19-2009, 10:22 PM

My favorite is prolly the first GBA game for turtles 2K3.
Then the second game for Game boy. I haven't played TMNT or the First one on PS2 but I played battle Nexus. Even though The platforming was really awkward I enjoyed, but I think that's cuz Me and a friend of mine had a lot of fun playing for two weeks passing the damn thing and unlocking sh*t left and right.

DonatelloDomeHead31 · 02-20-2009, 12:10 AM

I'm in a "mixed bag" with this topic because i had a lot of favorites. My top favorite is Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time because i mastered Hard difficulty after "swimming" in Easy Mode.

My second favorite would have to be Ninja Turtles Manhattan Project for the music and graphics. 3rd favorite is Tournament Fighters for the SNES because of the graphics and music for each level.

Doc_ock_4mugen · 02-20-2009, 08:48 PM

Well, does the Ports of the old Arcade TMNT Games hidden on the last two Konami Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles count? If Not the first of the 2k3 tmnt... Even though I still have soundbyte nightmares regarding Mikey's EATFEETEATFEETEATFEET!! Multi-hit combo

That was one of the things that drove me nuts at times when certain attacks made characters say them repeatingly. Fun games, but the repetitive sound bytes are kinda unnecessary.

Out of what I've played, my fav has to be the TMNT movie one on the PS2. (I also had it on the PSP and I didn't like that version) But I don't have GBA so wouldn't know...

I also had the 2k3 ones which were okay, but I stick with saying the movie one
