TMNT Mutant Melee is out! Its Awesome

*Raph* · 02-12-2005, 07:38 AM

Hey guys. Anyone else played Mutant Melee yet? I'm making this thread the official "What is this game??" thread!

Its an strange game. The Grapics are different. They made new models and all. I think they've made them a little uglier. First I even thought is this the real game?
All the textures are Way ugly and low-res too. The Bandana's stick out of the Turtles heads like palmtree leaves.... Its almost like with the action figures, when they bring out those fake ones.

Its pure button bashing, all the way. Its gets so boring. I really dont recommend this game. Even if it is TMNT. But just judge for yourself. Or if you have questions just ask

If the game is so horrible, why does the thread title say "It's awesome!"??

My thoughts exactly. My best guess would be a call to attention.

TuRtLeTiTaN · 02-12-2005, 10:54 AM

ok well i fell a little better for it not being out for ps2

*tOkKa* · 02-12-2005, 11:17 AM

-->> ..so should i finaly slap down some green for a game cube ??

..i don't mind really..there are some real slick games i've wanted aside from this TMNT - M.M. one.. but yeh.. why the f7ck they do this with some games..release it on 3 out of 4 major platforms and leave one in the dust (Ps2) ..i don't undertand the logic or f7cked up marketing behind that..

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure he meant "awful" and just got the words mixed up.

**azure turtle** · 02-12-2005, 01:40 PM

Wha? The game's out already? I thought it was scheduled for a March release.

*R-iZZy* · 02-12-2005, 02:38 PM

^ Seriously...

I heard it was scheduled for a March release. I have to check this out...

Demented Utrom · 02-12-2005, 03:03 PM

The previews for game was just up.I thought it was march also.

*Raph* · 02-12-2005, 04:06 PM

Sorry about the Awesome. Was a mistake.I did mean awfull. Its so ugly I almost think its a fake!
Konmai cannot get away with this graphics. The Turtles are really fat, and blocky. With a weird grin on their faces. The weapons are oversized and balloonlike.
I cannot believe it. If you compare it with TMNT 2, you scare the hell out of it!!
If you thing of what Konami is capable of (Metal Gear Solid) then this is a BIG joke

**Jester** · 02-12-2005, 05:15 PM

where'd u get it Raphie??

Damn straight.

**Barkworm** · 02-12-2005, 05:24 PM

I don't think you can compare a generic license game to a high budget game like Metal Gear Solid.

Peanut · 02-12-2005, 06:53 PM

Is this game even out? I'm pretty sure it's March, Gamespot and the like have it listed as such, while EBGames doesn't even seem to have it on their site yet. Are you sure you haven't just played a demo?

Ninja Nin!! Dude, I haven't seen you in ages! Hope all has been well.

Peanut brings up a good point. I was snooping around EB Games, and they don't have it yet. As for the graphics being horrible... I watched a video clip at Gamespot a few days ago, and they seem to be pretty similar to TMNT Battle Nexus. The bandannas don't look like they're sticking out as you described, and I couldn't seen any grinning expressions...

Tigershard · 02-13-2005, 12:18 AM

The PC version is floating around on a lot of torrent sites. He most likely pirated it

*Raph* · 02-13-2005, 01:35 AM

Yeah I got it from a torrent site. But it is the full 2 cd version. If its indeed a fake. Then that kinda well done. If its really how the game looks. Then Konami just wants to make quick money with another TMNT game. pirate version or not, its is the ISO version (the full install as it would appear in stores later on) and its still to fast after TMNT 2

You gotta agree with me right?

Tigershard · 02-13-2005, 10:06 AM

Well,I have a couple of comments on what Raph said. I'm trying to remain hopeful that this will be a decent game.

First, usually when you have a port of a game from a console to the computer, the console version looks better. Games are designed to work on a low resolution TV screens, and when you port a game to the PC without creating new textures to take advantage of the higher resolution, it can look very ugly.

As for the button mashing, Smash Bros. is a lot of button mashing also, unless you spend the time to really learn how to play the game. Someone who knows the mechanics of the game and the controls really well can usually always beat a button masher.

Wow! Seriously, it's like taking a trip down memory lane! Good to see you again Azure!

And yeah, I saved the preview videos to my hard drive, it doesn't seem as bad as described by the author, though I'll admit that those are only videos... and they made TMNT2:BN seem not as bad as it was (sad to admit, but the game wasn't that hot). This seems more like a game you'd play with a bunch of friends to kill time... who's the best among button-mashing? It still looks fun, nonetheless, if you have a bunch of friends who have this pride/ego game going, and must be superior to the other. This game looks like you can have a few good laughs beating your friend up. I'll get it regardless, the turtle groupie in me is going to force me to. It has pretty good graphics, as far as I can see. And they look like they'll have special individual attacks. I did want a game similar to Tournament Fighters, this will be that game for me!
