Wait, what? REALLY? I know this game got massive amounts of hate (including from some people here), but to make #8 on a list of biggest gaming busts!? Ranking higher than the Pippin and the N-Gage? I'm pretty sure Smash-Up would have been a better contender for the list... let alone the zillions of other things out there.

I know for a fact that more than one person at SA are BIG TMNT fans. THey must have just been horribly disappointed in the game.

*CyberCubed* · 10-25-2009, 10:54 AM

Why were people so hyped for it? We knew it wasn't going to be like the original, and worse they used the Arcade version instead of the SNES version.

It's Screw Attack. They all have their heads so far up their asses it isn't funny.

Well, yeah. They listed the original Turtles in Time as #1 on their beat-'em-up list (although I feel otherwise, but I digress). HyperStone Heist, I think, also was on their list of top Genesis games. But still, man alive, even most people who have basically taken a dump on this game still had fun with it. I'm not really the right person to say otherwise, since I really enjoyed Re-Shelled, but if I sat down and actually thought about it, I could probably come up with at least 60 examples of games, consoles, and whatnot that would be more suitable for a list. There is such a rich history of consoles and games that bombed hard over the last 30+ years, that I can't believe this was even grounds for inclusion.

GameJesta · 10-25-2009, 04:45 PM

Exactly. The important thing about games is that they're fun. Sure there are other factors but I was and still am heavily satisfied with Re-Shelled. There are MUCH more greater gaming busts than that, like the Atari 5200, the Sega Saturn, Shaq Fu, a lot of Simpsons games and Shadow the Hedgehog.

Seriously, the game is not THAT bad. People know it's not the SNES version and a remake of the Arcade. You can't get your hopes up if you know that it's a remake of what some consider an inferior version. The game is fun, has great controls and great voice acting, the music is a mixed bag, so how can it be considered a gaming bust? You couldn't expect much for a remake of an arcade, or as the title suggests, the original game Re-Shelled, just new graphics and music.

I was just offering why they would do that. Big fan disappointed just decided to add it to the list is all I could think of.

All but one anyway.

I think those who complain about those who criticize this game fails to see the big picture. Remember, the original is an arcade CLASSIC! And the SNES version will be highly listed on almost anyone's top 50 favorite SNES games. As far as those who've been gaming for a long time, both the original and the SNES versions are legendary. And for Ubisoft to re-create THAT game that not only manages to be harshly criticized by critics, not able to turn an eye to gamers young and old, and alienates even the most loyal of Turtle fans? Oh yeah..it's definitely a bust of grand proportions, and deserves to be on that list.

Sword Slicin' Leo · 11-01-2009, 01:40 PM

I wish it was'nt just downloadable...i don;t use my 360 enought to pay for live every month, when i only play it when a cool game come out.. maybe 2 a year..

*Ninjinister* · 11-01-2009, 02:33 PM

Psst... you don't have to pay for Live to buy Live Arcade games. I have Silver (free) and tons of Live Arcade games, including this one.

traf · 11-08-2009, 12:29 PM

I didn't mind the game that much. It was pretty much what I expected. I like the online multiplayer aspect of it, but I wish they had made the original game available as well.

~~Lieutenant Granitor~~ · 11-08-2009, 05:10 PM

This game deserves to be on the list... Maybe even higher than it was placed! Graphics are cool, but fighting is messed up! Also I hate sounds, and 3D! I would just prefer regular TiT with online! But I guess it's too much to ask

h well:

*The Stryker* · 11-09-2009, 01:45 AM

You hate sounds?

~~Lieutenant Granitor~~ · 11-09-2009, 02:03 PM

I this version, yea

TurtleGuy · 11-10-2009, 10:56 AM

Who else wants to bet that the reasoning behind this is little more than "It's not the SNES version so it sucks" or "They changed the music so it sucks forever!"?

Then there's people who hate it because it's basically the same. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

sirroscoe · 11-13-2009, 05:29 AM

The music was the biggest crime Ubisoft committed. It's nothing like the original, and the new music itself is lackluster. And since the game was rebuilt from the ground up, the second biggest crime was not basing it on the home version and adding 4-player coop.

Protoman · 12-21-2009, 08:30 PM

I can understand the hate they have, but they knew the warning signs beforehand. For one, this was the arcade version, which lacked a lot to begin with. 90% of the Turtles in Time love comes from people playing it at home during those golden 90s on their SNES, not at the arcade.

lilmotto · 01-02-2010, 12:33 AM

Well I mean I guess the game was a big disappointment when compared to the original. No Slash or other main characters made me sad, it was fun to play through but just not the same as SNES. Nice try cute game but i don't think worthy of top 10 busts. Many way worse games.
