Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed looks the part, but its button bashing action quickly becomes boring thanks to its slim selection of enemies and its constantly reused levels.

We'd always rather see something aim high and fall short than settle for another dime-a-dozen action/platforming experience, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed certainly sits closer to the former. A Heartful of Games has made some noble swings here and some of them pay off - heck, nobody expected the Persona mission structure in this TMNT game. Unfortunately, all this ambition is overshadowed by performance issues that make even its most approachable elements feel like a chore. It's a fine welcome for younger fans keen to kick some shell after watching Mutant Mayhem, but this joint requires some serious scrubbing if it is to live up to its big-screen counterpart.

Even if you’re a diehard fan of TMNT in its current incarnation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a stuttering mess that doesn’t deserve your money.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed is a classic beat 'em up that continues the events of the last TMNT computer-animated movie, Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Mutants Unleashed is a fun option, although it is not free of small ups and downs such as a certain repetitiveness if we play alone, while in multiplayer the experience improves considerably. If you are looking for an accessible and light game to enjoy with your family and you love the Ninja Turtles universe, this title is a good option.

Fans can play without pain, but this is not the TMNT: Shredder's Revenge league.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has all the ingredients to make a fantastic game. However, following the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem film will likely put it into the same pile with all the other underwhelming titles.

It's all the more frustrating because the writing for the relatively engaging plot is great. Part of me wished this game had some time to be refined because the framework of something totally radical is here. It just doesn't make it out of the sewers.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed combines classic TMNT fun with straightforward beat ’em up mechanics. With easy-to-learn controls, colourful visuals, and plenty of nostalgic touches, the game is great for fans and families. Though it may lack depth for hardcore players, it’s a good pick for short, casual sessions and multiplayer action.

It is a fun and engaging title that provides a great blend of action and adventure that fans of all ages can enjoy and is a very fun gaming experience at times.

Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello, aka the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, are back on track. Mutant Unleashed is a game that remains in the comfort zone of third-person action, trying to offer a minimum of depth in the off-stage phases but falling into repetitiveness when it comes to taking the field, play the hard way and above all entertaining.
