TMNT wii vs. ps2

[the fixer]

I was in a toystore yesterday and they sold the TMNT Playstation 2 game for 40$ and the wii version for 80$...

I have both those consoles at home and I really didn't know what version to buy...
(They also had the X360 and PS3 versions, but I don't have them consoles)

So what I wanted to ask was this... Is the wii version worth buying if it's double the price of the PS2 game?

No, both versions are pretty bad compared to their 360 counterpart.


I you like the older games (like the TMNT arcade game, or TMNT IV SNES), the GBA game is the best, a side scroller with the ability to upgrade..

The Wii version was $80? Are you sure?

All the console versions suck. Doesn't matter what system it's on.

The 360 version is no better than the PS2 or Wii versions -_-

Yes, but if the games are identical and someone makes a statement like that, you have to assume that he's only talking about the graphics. Graphics don't make a game any good, but if all things are equal, why not go with the better graphics?

Also, I was referring to the fact that there are achievement points available, something to give this game with no replay value a little bit of replay value.

Pretty much all wii games cost up to 60€ here, which equals 80 US dollars.
Of course, it can depend from store to store but not by much.

In the store I was talking about, I bought the GBA version of TMNT for 30€ or $40. In Belgium, that's rather cheap for a newly released GBA game. They usually get released at $55 or something.

Also, I was surprised to see that the PS2 version only cost $40 there, which is the price of a Platinum re-released game.

I guess that overall, videogames on console are pretty expensive in Belgium.
On the other hand, Belgian chocolate and beer is pretty cheap here...
In the US, you have to sell a kidney to buy the stuff :p

The achievement points don't even give this game replay value. You can unlock all but 1 achievement just by beating the game...then you just have to replay one level until you find a gold shell coin and then you can quit the level. So yeah, achievement points cannot even help this awful game.

Oh, I forgot 360 had that little feature. My bad.
