Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Xbox 360 review
Based on the CGI movie currently hitting cinema screens, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) the game follows the film’s story, albeit in a flashback, comic book manner. Set in New York City, it preaches the themes of family and teamwork, as the ‘dudes’ have to unite to overcome the evils lurking in its darkest corners. A bit vague, yes, but that’s sadly how this game’s story feels, as there’s no real feeling of plot; more like random levels and challenges that you need to work through in order to progress.

Also, it seems a bit silly how they talk of ‘togetherness’ when most of the gameplay involves you controlling single turtles, with the occasional mission where a few of them team together. Add to that the lack of co-op and multiplayer options, and well, they’re talking rubbish really, aren’t they!
