I grew up playing the NES and SNES TMNT games. I've been loving the Cowabunga Collection re-releases. So I say this, with so much admiration of all the games that came before, I love this game and say it's the best Turtles game since Turtles in Time.
I know a lot of players had trouble with the controls, but with enough time in the training room, you can get them down. The game asks a lot from the player, situational awareness, some tough button combos, more than just pressing X 100x to win.
The developer, Red Fly, got a raw deal. They made this game, and were in the middle of making another, a Darth Maul led Star Wars game. This was right as George Lucas made the sale to Disney. Then, Disney cancelled the contract. Red Fly went under. Activision, the publisher, didn't renew the license, and the game became de-listed and has fallen into relative obscurity.
I could talk for hours about how amazing this game is. It crammed in so much replay value. I recently demoed and played through this game for a special Twitch TMNT game marathon. I want to share this game with everyone!
