Best TMNT game for original XBOX?? Opinions please!

Anakin Prime · 11-22-2009, 04:26 PM

I still only have the original XBOX, and am wondering what is the best TMNT game out there for it. I have done some searching, and it looks like there are only a few for that system. What are the titles? And what do you recommend the most?? I read some reviews and there seems to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 game that gets good reviews... Basically I need a lot of help.... Thanks in advance!

TMNT 03 and TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare are some favorites of mine. But if you're going to get those two, you might as well get TMNT 2: Battle Nexus.

Thanks! So there are 3 of them..... I am going to head over to Ebay and see what it looks like. Is TMNT 03 centered more toward the older TMNT?? From what I have read, it seems to be...

Depends what you mean by older. The story and art direction is totally based on season 1 of the 2k3 cartoon.

But if you're talking about game-play, it does have similarities to the classic beat-em-ups, except it's all 3-D now.

Nice! The gameplay style is what I was aiming at. Thanks again!

Ok, I already picked up TMNT 03 on Ebay. So are we saying go for Mutant Melee too?? Should I go for it?

Eh, not really. A lot of people hated it, I thought it was okay. It's pretty much a Power Stone clone.

After you mentioned it, I looked it up. It didn't really get good reviews did it?? Sounds fun though if you are playing with a bunch of people..... But if playing by yourself, maybe not so much.....

That's for sure. Single-player mode is tough as heck.

Ach...I got here too late. I can only speak for the PS2 version, but the original TMNT was an absolutely atrocious abomination; from the broken gameplay to the incredibly repetitive soundbites (anyone remember "Slice and dice, slice and dice, slice and dice...?")

Battle Nexus and Mutant Nightmare were much better games, though for some reason the gaming press gave the first game better scores over all. Tomfoolery, I say.

*XERO* · 11-23-2009, 11:20 AM

I still say 'slice and dice!' to this day.

Thanks for you opinion. I got the TMNT 03 at a low price, so if it blows (which I hope it doesn't), I will go after those 2.

*shuriken* · 11-24-2009, 12:57 PM

Mutant Nightmare is the best. Bets graphics, gameplay and limited sounbytes (sound bites?).
Plus the computer Turtles help you out. A LOT.
But It's more fun to play with a friend.

I didn't get this post at all, until I got the game today and was my favorite turtle Mikey. hahaha....

-Anyways, I played it for sometime today and I really like TMNT 03! I am definitely glad I picked it up. I'm having fun busting up the baddies....

Question though: I don't have the manual for the game and I am curious how you get your special power "gambu power"???? Could you tell me more about it? Or anything else you think the manual would have come in useful for... Thanks!

It's spelled Gembu Power in the manual, but I've never seen it spelled with an 'm' elsewhere. Genbu the Japanese name for Xuanwu, a Chinese deity that is sometimes portrayed as a giant tortoise with two heads, and sometimes as a giant tortoise with a giant serpent wrapped around it. One of the four (or five) Ssu Ling, he guards the north.

In the game, I believe after the "Special Stage: Ordeal" with all four Turtles, you obtain Gembu Power, which summons all four Turtles and shows an icon of the tortoise-and-serpent version of the god appears, creating a massive attack.
