I hope we get TMNT on Monday here in the US for download. I'm off Saturday-Monday, and since I can't get the new TMNT movie game during that time the classic TMNT from NES would be the next best thing.

I like the game, but that's probably because I'm not much of a gamer and I don't know any better. Of course it's nothing mindblowing, but if I play and enjoy, that's good enough for me. Though, I don't want to pay too much for it - keep an eye out for a sale, perhaps?

This doesn't mean the game itself is bad, it just lacks in certain areas of gameplay and design. Of course the guy could just be an @$$hole and dis this game but that wouldn't make any real sense now would it? It all depends what kind of games you like. If I get a chance to play it I'm sure I'll enjoy it. It could still be crap though

Meh, I expected it.

I'll still get it, the jumping around just looks so ****ing fun.

Sadly I'm stuck with the Wii version, otherwise I'd get PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox360.

Xbox 360 is too expensive, so I haven't saved enough for it yet.

PS2 just sucks, only because it dies two years after you own it, no matter how good you take care of it. In other words, my PS2 died 5 months ago, so that option is out.

Gamecube, well, Gamestop doesn't sell the Gamecube version apparently, which sucks. Mine doesn't anyway. It was the first I tried to pre-order actually.

Who knows, you may end up enjoying the Wii version. I know I will, especially on my flatscreen with component cables

just cancel your preorder and go buy the gamecube version from wal mart or something. I expected the wii version to get craptastic reviews (you just shake the wiimote to attack, no combos or anything, just shake it? How pathetic.) I expect the other versions to get about a 7-ish score. maybe a little less for the 360 because the graphics SHOULD be better on a next gen console. But seriously, the platforming is fun. I got the first new konami game and it sucked. This one will be better. This isn't blind fanboyism, it's fanboyism over a game that is decently made.

dude, i'm sorry but I lol'd. I played twilight princess for the wii with component cables, and there's nothing you can say about the Wii other than the graphics suck. Component cables on a flat screen aren't gonna help that.

I think one of the problem with most professional reviews like this is they only play it through completion with a lot of games. It seems like Ubisoft was trying to please everyone with a difficulty level that wouldn't be off-putting to skill deficient kids, but at the same time designed the levels so that more initiated gamers could go through them again and get better times and whatnot. To me, that was the best part of the demo, trying to tear through the level like a ninja on speed. I doubt a lot of reviewers will actually take the time to do that, missing out on what is probably the best part of the game.

That being said, Ubisoft did drop the ball with the fighting engine. The simplistic stuff works for the platforming, but not so much for the fighting.
