I'm torn on this. While I've had a lot of fun playing it, there's a little part of me that feels like this should've either been a part of the game to begin with, or a few quid cheaper. I suppose I've got my money's worth, because I've been playing this a lot, as well as playing through story and arcade with the new characters.

Usagi's double jump feels like a cheat. So of course I have been using that character a lot. Karai has got a decent move set as well and I have enjoyed playing through survival with that character. Survival is quite fun until I get to Shredder, and then the difficulty just goes through the roof, and I do not think I'm going to be beating this without the aid of other players, which I'll probably try and coerce the wife and kids to assist.

While I do feel it has extended the life of the game, it doesn't feel like enough to justify purchasing it. Maybe if there was a few more colour palettes, another character, or a bit more to the survival mode, I'd have been happier with my purchase. However, I still can't stop playing, so maybe I'm just being an overly fussy old tight arse that begrudges spending money on something.

Either way, Shredder's Revenge absolutely rules.
