It often felt the designers of the game were having a sick in-joke. For fans of the cartoon, the anticipation to get and play this game had them sleepless and then, when they did play it, they eventually cried. You get a sense that the developers created a map and then just went, okay, how many baddies can we fit in here? Not only did you face an endless stream of near impossible to hit baddies, but you had to learn the style of four different fighters to overcome them, oh and once one died, those fighters were gone and thats where the frustration really mounted. Youd done reasonably well, but then Leonardos easy to slash with swords had gone, then Donatellos long reach wooden bo went, so now youre fighting with Michelangelos often pointless nun chucks, or worst still Raphaels garbage garden fork sais. And if you did get further on, eventually, youd end up in the water, where youd drown over and over again until finally you went to the nearest pet store, picked up a real turtle, and drop kicked it through a window.
