Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a beat 'em up video game developed and published in 2003 by Konami, based on the 2003 TV series.
Gameplay
[edit]The player can play as either Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo or Raphael. Each turtle has his own unique set of levels to complete, with exclusive encounters for each individual campaign. There is a story mode for one or two players, and a versus mode where two players can fight head to head.
In the versus mode, players can fight as all four turtles, Splinter, Casey Jones, Hamato Yoshi, the Turtlebot, Hun, Oroku Saki, and The Shredder. A Challenge mode is unlockable by defeating Oroku Saki with any Turtle in the Story Mode, which needs to be completed to unlock Hamato Yoshi and his dojo.
Synopsis
[edit]The game is based on the first season of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, with the Turtles coming into conflict with the Foot Clan, who are led by the mysterious Shredder. Throughout the game, the player also meets and fights with many of Shredder's lieutenants, such as Hun and Baxter Stockman, culminating in a confrontation with Shredder himself. As a result of being a direct adaptation of the television series, many of the games cutscenes are footager directly from the show, while also incorporating original animation in some places.
