i played this game when i still had my wii. i enjoyed it. as much of a bad smash bros. ripoff it is, it was still fun, especially if your a turtles fan looking for a turtles fighting game.

I wonder if there's a soul out there who still plays Smash Up.

Been wanting to play someone badly. Offline is impossible because nobody takes this game seriously. And Online, I can't ever find anybody.

Would be awesome(ly unrealistic) if we could kick up a tournament sometime, perhaps as we wait for TMNT: Ouf of the Shadows to premiere.

Would love to test my skill against human players. CPUs tend to get boring overtime. (Not as boring as Brawl's for some reason though).

I play it on the wii whenever I remember I have that thing, mostly a ps3 playing so and so. I'm pretty bad though, only can handle the computer on some of the lower levels of difficulty. And I never got past that one western themed challenge, the one where you shoot a bull or something. Shoot him with what?

You press L and your character will guard while a crosshair appears on the center of the screen. Then you move it around the screen with the joystick, and I think you "fire" with A.

This triggers some stage objects. It also toggles between items, and it splits a full Pizza into 4 slices.

Oh thank you I'll try that, we shoot with the wii remote not the character who doesn't have a gun. That makes sense I guess.

I do have this game myself as well, have only really played it with one friend online. I'm open to testing my skills at it with other people once in a while if it ever comes up. It's still pretty fun and enjoyable.

The sheer missed potential of a SSB clone with Turtles, with a paltry selection of characters, some rather obscure. Laird is probably to blame as he despised the memorable OT characters, which is what people would most likely want.

*Powder* · 09-06-2013, 06:58 PM

Also, Ubisoft ain't great.

*raph27* · 09-09-2013, 06:18 AM

I want to get this for Wii. Hooooowever.... It's $27 used at GameStop.
EDIT: and $40 used at Amazon..the game can't be this good!

No! No it isn't! It's barely worth 10 bucks!

Don't buy it...

I had fun with it, but it's really bare-bones. I recently went back to it, figuring there had to have been more stuff I didn't do with it, since I only remembered playing it for like a day. Sadly, nope. It's OK, but there's not a lot of game to it, and once you're done with it the replay value is kind of minimal.

I think I got it used for about $20. I don't think I'd go above that. I think the high used prices are because most people who bought it are big TMNT fans who wouldn't get rid of it. Otherwise it'd probably be easily found for $5-10.

haha, spamming the wall attack is the secret to 100-man Survival mode. Although it can be fun to wait around for random CPU opponents to spawn and them grapple them into a devastating execution.

I don't play much online, but I always got my butt kicked when I did. Today's gamers' skills have really passed me by, I suppose.

It needed to do more than mimic SSB's play style; those games have a lot of different modes to encourage replays, and a decent-sized roster to play with. Smash-Up has neither. What's there is OK, but it's really not a lot, overall.

Toby Barrett · 09-10-2013, 08:02 AM

Wouldn't have hurt to have a better selection of characters like Smash Bros. as well.

*Donatello19* · 09-10-2013, 12:53 PM

I could never...NEVER get past that mission where you had to use the utrom to knock the Foot off of the building. I rage quit SOOO much on that mission...

That one was certainly tough! I forget who I finally ended up using to pull that off. The official game strategy manual recommended using Casey's grab attack for knocking opponents far away from the platform, but I think I lose so many times that I finally just started using the Utrominator and using his machine gun fire to deter the CPU from jumping back.
