If you’re going to drop a collection of games from this moment onwards, you need to look to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection as the content benchmark.
The team over at Tribute Games have created an absolute masterpiece of an arcade title in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge; one that floats somewhere between tribute (pun intended) and modern sequel to the classic TMNT arcade titles.
I would have bet my house on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan being rather good. With the power of PlatinumGames behind the heroes in a halfshell, Activision bankrolling them and the huge draw that the green ninjas bring, chances are that the latest video game covering their fighting antics would be a bit of a hit.
And then I remembered that not only are the Turtles appearing across the world in video game form, but around the same time they are hitting the big screens once more with a movie. A video game AND a movie dropping within weeks of one another? What the hell could go wrong?
The turtles are returning to console after a few non-favourable outings in the hope that this newest game Danger of the Ooze, which is based on the Nickelodeon show, can stand out for all the right reasons.
Excited for the upcoming launch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC? Today you get your first look at the game.Â
While some momentum-killing levels and technical issues hold Penny's Big Breakaway back from perfection, the killer aesthetics and buttery smooth gameplay loop make the game an undeniable breakout hit.
