Best TMNT Game for GBA

BoggleKng · 11-06-2009, 12:27 PM

My kids only have GBA at the moment, I was curious as to which TMNT game I should get them.... Any thoughts, suggestions, strong opinions?!!

The TMNT 2007 game. It's a little short, but think of the gameplay as being a nice mix of the old Konami games, Streets of Rage, and River City Ransom.

Or, if you want more bang for your buck, you can find the other two games on one cartridge. They're not terrible, and each one is longer than the 2007 game.

no doubt the 07 TMNT game

2007! That game actually feels like classic beat'em up (like Double Dragon or River City Ransom), but it doesn't feel like old Konami TMNT classics. 2k3 video games are kinda fun, but 2007 is superior!

Yep TMNT 2007 on GBA for sure but the other two GBA games are pretty good too. You can get both of them in a two pak actually but it's probably not easy to find.

But if you can play GB games on your GBA (and you can if you have any of them besides a GB Mirco) then I highly recommend you pick up TMNT III: The Radical Rescue. It's not as good as the GBA games I suppose but it's a pretty great game.

Theyre all good! Get any accessible (sp?)

I've never played any 2007 movie games for Game Boy Advance, but considering the ones for the 2k3 cartoon, I'd say the first game is definitely better than the 2nd game. In the 2nd game, I always found it annoying that you never start the stage with your weapons, all you have is throwing stars that hardly do anything. And then you search the stage for your weapons, sometimes, it's very hard to find them. Plus on the first game, you can see how many points you've scored, but they never show points in the 2nd game.

The second game is also rather annoyingly difficult at times. I like the stealth aspect because it's unique for a TMNT game... Having them act like a ninja might in such situations. But I get bored of playing Battle Nexus on GBA and haven't completed it yet. I completed the first GBA game though and it was pretty fun. Better than any of the console games of that era for sure.

Still... for that old arcade style you're best off with the 2007 movie game for GBA. It's loads of fun.

'07 is the best, period.
