TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge was an absolute blast to play. I loved every minute of it. I really dig the aesthetic on display here, visuals/level environments are top-notch, and the music is totally tubular. You can tell that the developers poured their heart and soul into this product, because it’s chalk-full of cameos and references to the TMNT franchise (primarily the 1987 cartoon), and that made me love it even more as a Turtles enthusiast.
I also enjoy the leveling system for the characters in this game, think the idea itself is pretty cool. At one point, I wondered if the upgrades you received as you progressed would make the game easier, but the game curves the difficulty naturally as the story goes on, and I find that superb.
The collectibles and achievements the game offers adds to the replay value, which I find important to note, since the only drawback I can see with this game is its overall length. On my casual playthrough, it took me 2-3 hours to finish the story mode with 2P co-op on “Okay” difficulty. I’ve read that it can take others even shorter time to get through. If you want a lot of playtime out of your purchase, you may want to consider that before buying.
With all that said, this game is a must-have for any TMNT and/or Beat ‘em Up fan. You will not be displeased with your experience.
