Turtles in Time Re-Shelled; personal review

*Raph* · 08-05-2009, 10:56 AM

Hey guys,

Just downloaded and played through Turtles in Time Re-Shelled for the first time on XBLA.

- I must say, I'm glad I bought it. It looks great, the animations are cool and the menu's with all the flashy 2D artworks are also to my liking. It definitely breaths '80s Turtles.
The level seem a bit shorter but with the fast gameplay and kickass constant action, that might be logical. I started with Leo and he plays great (if you are a veteran on the SNES or original Arcade version, not an advantage!)
All the moves are still there, only now in 8 directions.
Thank God by the way, the ugly old sprite Splinter isn't there to Hurry you to the next screen.

I love playing it and will definitely play through it dozens of times, but the whole experience seems very rushes, and that goes for the gameplay, the short levels, the fighting, the intro's between levels; it all feels, and is rushed!

Graphically it 100% improvement, I LOVE it all, Gameplay wise it's ...well rushed.
The 2D intro of April doing the news looks cool, its not just a 2D screen, its a handfull places after eachother, making it look a little bit animated.

Haven't really payed attention to the music, except the title screen which has a faint beat to the Pizza Power song, but barely.

The voice cast is great, and feels goos right away, only, Wayne Grayson does a terrible Krang voice. The rest is all top-notch.

+ Great graphics, voices, and overall look. Nice gameplay and controls
- Feels rushed, Krang sounds horrible, short levels

Gonna try the other Turtles and unlock the Achievements now!
