Turtles In Time is one of my all time favourites, so this was a big hype title for me. I was expecting to have some fun with it, but honestly was not expecting it to be a bright and shining perfect example of what a beat-em-up should be.

Surprisingly a lot of depth to the combat, with lots of cool moves to pull off, and all characters feel different enough. Loved playing as Splinter and especially April, who was speedy and good at dodging. Donnie will always be my favourite, but Mikey and Raph both felt great to play as too. And of course Casey Jones and his weighty hard hitting attacks.

The levels were fun, familiar and unique, and the variety of bosses from the silly and weird world of the Turtles cartoon was lovely to see. I got all I could out of this title, got the Platinum trophy and enjoyed it all. Quite possibly has taken the crown as the best ever beat-em-up currently, although Turtles In Time will always be my favourite deep down.

Now, imagine if they did a mature version of this in the style of the comics? That would be cool! Or better yet, the same developers should do another Batman beat-em-up similar to the Konami Batman Returns SNES game! Please!!
