	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles demo Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Has anyone else tried it?

I just tried it a few minutes ago. It wasn't anything special, but it still reminds me of the good ol' days, since the gameplay is basicly the same

Most of the graphics are descent done, though the buildings and cars looks too simple

This game is only for those who loved the old game, if you're not a TMNT fan like me, you'd probably get bored within the first minute. I doubt the fans of TMNT would keep coming back to this game though, doesn't seem like having replay-value


So... anyone else tried it? Or are there no other TMNT fans on this site?

Yup, tried it the very day it came out. Sweet stuff, I tell you. I used to spend hours upon hours playing TMNT on my NES back then... And I loved the demo, too. I think the graphics are pretty cool, and the slashing action is sweet. Though I didn't like the sounds Leo made one bit. Too much of the repeating ol' "Slice 'n' Dice!" and "One for you!". Bleh. But as soon as I got some Motörhead in the background instead, it got so much sweeter.

Played the demo a few times. Didn't once beat the second boss. Only damaged him a bit with the surikens (sp?) but other than that, couldn't hit him once with the blades. In the end, just jumped down in frustration, to meet the stomping death.

Any way, the demo was good FUN. But I am not sure I'll buy the full game. Not a big fun of two-button mashing any more. And besides, my poor laptop's keyboard complained after I'd been hitting that f for a couple hours.

Space,
I haven't seen the demo on the official TMNT site, but it is available on the front page of Gamespot PC (http://pc.gamespot.com), though I am not sure if you have to be a member to get it.

I don't remember where I downloaded it from, it's a couple days since I got it, but haven't installed it before today...

I haven't been able to beat the second bos either, I've only hurt it once with the sword

I doubt I'll buy the game... It's probably much more fun playing 2 player, but since I don't know anybody else who liked the classic game, I doubt I'll be able to do it... unless it's playable online, which I doubt...

But yeah... the "Slice 'n' Dice", etc, shouting is getting pretty annoying after very short time

On a sidenote:

Has anyone seen the new cartoons of TMNT? I've heard they should be quite different than the original ones, so I'm not sure if I'll see it... if it ever comes to Denmark...

Glad to hear it's good.

Is it the same on all platforms/consoles?

I know there's a PS2 version that I'm considering for old times' sake (have all the NES and the one SNES one.)

Is this like the arcade side scrollers or the original TMNT on the nes where you walked around a map for a while then switched to side-scrolling.

No, it's more like TMNT 2, which was side-scrolling all the way...

It's mostly side-scrolling, like ADG says, but there are a few places where the screen scrolls up and down. The game being 3D, they've added more twists to the map.

Ah cool, those games were always a blast. Nothing like mindless entertainment for a while will ahve to download the demo.

If its good 2 player, may have to buy on the PS2 or cube.

I think it's only 2 player. I've only seen the PS2 and Xbox versions, but I'd wager the GC is 2 player as well.

I want a 4-player turtles game!

They also had this in the old Turtles game, so nothing new about this...

Does it have a skateboarding stage? Can't have a Turtles game without that, you know.

Skateboarding stage? I guess I have to refresh my memories, I don't remember this...

I don't remember such a stage, either, but the surfing stage in Project Manhattan was sweet.

That's what I'm talking about.

In TMNT II there was a skateboarding stage.

In TMNT III there was the surfing stage.

In TMNT IV there was both a surfing and hoverboard stage.

I just call them 'skateboarding' because about the same thing is needed.

I don't remember any Surfing stage either...

I have only seen TMNT 1 and TMNT 2... at least they never made it to the stores, otherwise I would have known they have existed (Didn't read many computer magazines, so stores was my only source for such information)

Trust me, there's such. I still play those games sometimes.

One of they only type that my wife likes to play with me besides Mario Kart since it's with characters she always enjoyed as well.

Yup, I was surprised to see the TMNT demo come out, because just a few days before that I'd replayed the NES game.
