TMNT GameBoy Advance

Hey all,

First time poster here. I just picked up the TMNT game for GB advance after hearing it received good praises. I had high expectations because of that, but man, it surpassed those expectations! It goes back to the old style of side-scrolling games like Turtles in Time, but with some interesting additions. They add experience and a few levels, dropped money so you can buy power ups and upping your skills. Enemies also drop weapons that you can use for a short period of time. It also says in the manual you can visit an arcade and play mini-games, but I haven't seen that yet.

Like the TMNT PC version, you can tag in a brother to help you, and if you own a special medallion you can use that brother to perform a devastating attack. The turtles strengths and weaknesses are generally relative to the other games based on the brothers.

So if anyone else has tried this game I'd love to hear what you think about it. And if you haven't tried it it definitely a game I would recommend.

Peace

I loved it personally, it reminded me alot of the Punisher arcade game that came out in the 90's as well as the old turtles beat'em ups. I hope they make more, turtles is at their best in this medium.

Oh yes, this is one of my favorite turtles games. The ability to be able to walk all over the screen like the old games is awesome. I also like it that I can pick up weapons, my favorite being the big sword. The only thing I would have changed are the boss battles. I wish they were like the old turtles game bosses, where you can attack them at pretty much any time, instead of having to attack at certain times.

The TMNT GBA game is definitely awesome! I liked it for the above reasons and I kinda liked the graphics too.

More than anything, it's like Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari, aka River City Ransom.

How can you play the arcade? I beat the game but I still don't know where it is

. Although I know where the minigames are.
