Found a bug
when you fight Hun sometimes he gets stuck in his run animation, but stops moving. when this happens he cant be hit by any attacks other than the shell drop. i tried for about 15 minutes to kill him this way but he seems to be invulnerable. otherwise i love the feel of the game and the idea of mixing and matching your duo from the characters.
Almost but not quite.
There are some great things going on in this game. The character selection is great and the ability to have a secondary character for a special attack is also a great idea but there are some major flaws in the mechanics. The foot clan deals a lot of damage especially for just running into them. Even though Raph and Mikey do double damage it doesn't really balance out since they have to get so close to the bad guys which usually results in taking damage from running into them so the two of them end up getting owned all the time, at least in my hands. Leo and Don are great but like it has been said in other posts there aren't enough moves to really keep it fresh. The atmosphere and art is fantastic but the quirky gameplay kind of ruins the fun factor that this game should have.
Fun!
This remind me of the MNT from the old days. Nothing better than an old style game to make me happy for the day.
Needs work
The ambush part is tedious, they barely drop any health and ooze is to be needed in most areas. 8/10 It is a good game but needs work. I like the special moves and how Rapheal's and Casey's go in a straight line.
...damn!
great game, i enjoyed playing it and level 14 left me on the ass end of an ass kicking. but eventually i beat it. i only have one reason why this isnt a 9, and im sure its an easily fixable one and it really isnt a big deal, but it did make me take a lot more damage than i should have on level 14.
when i do the shell slam (bowser from smash bros.?) i sometimes would accidentally land on top of the enemy while i was blinking. this wouldnt be a problem except that my attack range cant hit them if their too close to me. it would reach past them and i ended up taking 1 or 2 more hits before i could finally get to the proper range.
that rare occurence aside, this game was great. a helluva challenge, but a fun time beating it
