I know this game has been out for awhile, but there was never any discussion on it really. This is going to sound odd, but I want to see if anyone else felt the same way. I felt kind of like a ninja turtle being on the roofs and running through buildings and such. This could be a cool way of doing a ninja turtle game or a section of a ninja turtle game.

There was no discuss because I was probably the only one who played it here. And yes, it is odd, but entirely unsurprising for this fan base, that you felt like a Ninja Turtle, because there's absolutely nothing about it that resembles anything from the Ninja Turtles in any way.

As for how I felt about the game itself: It got old quick, the combat was boring, the enemy AI was horrible, and the story was a complete mess.

I played it too on PS3, and that pretty much sums it up. It was fun for the first two hours, then it turned into an endless string of "slide, punch in balls, and run away". The wall running was insanely broken, and the gun controls were worthless. I know they wanted to push the physical combat (which was monotonous), but they made the FPS element a complete joke. I stopped about 5 1/2 hours in because it just got too repetitive.

You hadn't beaten it by that point? Damn.

I love video games. Doesn't make me good at them (with a few exceptions).

I enjoyed the demo and was interested in picking it up used for a while. But I think by the time it actually started coming in I couldn't be bothered anymore.

There's a reason this game dropped to 25 bucks after 2 weeks.

I meant that I felt like a turtle in the sense I was up on the rooftops, trying to avoid detection, etc. I mean that's how the TMNT really started

I loved the demo...but never saw any point in buying it at full price...maybe when it drops even more....
