Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up
This game was a great idea. It is basically a take on the popular smash bros, but it managed to miss nearly all the elements that made Smash bros good.
For one, the character movement, actions, response seems to be EXTREMELY slow, and often choppy at times.
The stage Variety ‘kind-of’ works, but the stages are not put together too well it seems.
The only thing this game managed to do what take a popular franchise and turn it into about 20 mins of fun. If youre looking for a game thats fun like this, Smash Bros is cheaper, and has more hours of gameplay.
I would suggest copying Power-Stone 2 OR Bleech… would make for an interesting game

Although the fighting mechanics are solid and the multiplayer modes are fun enough for some laid back action. The guts of TMNT is left under utilized. With such a rich history of characters, heroes and villains, TMNT only gives you the bare essentials. The roster is thin with little interest besides the titualr 4 turtles. You get Splinter, Shredder, April and Casey Jones. And a handful of unknowns who will seem alien to fans of the classic TV show. Left on the outs are Bebop, Rocksteady, Rat King, Baxter Stockman, Leatherhead, Krang etc. Such missed potential.
What is there is solid enough for a fun round of couch Turtle fighting. The graphics are polished and the Turtles specifically are nicely animated with great looking levels to play on. Overall it’s a great concept for a game that loses it’s mojo somewhere along the way. If all you need to have fun are Leo, Mike, Raph and Don then you’ll get a fun package. For fans of the show, you might be wise to wait for the sequel.

A lot of reviewers have compared Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and I think the comparison is pretty good. The gameplay feels a lot like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, even going so far as incorporating strong “A button” moves. I think if you like Smash and want more, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up would be a good addition.
A lot of reviewers have criticized this game for not having a lot of characters. I think there’s some truth to that, but not a whole lot. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up does have fewer characters initially, but there are at least some secret characters. Also, let’s remember that Super Smash Bros. Brawl had more characters, but less than half were even decent and most were lousy. Whenever I played with my friends, we tended to only use about 3 characters each. Frankly, adding a bunch of Jigglypuffs to the character roster did not really do much for me. By contrast, with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up, I get the sense that most of the characters are roughly equivalent and good to play with.
This game also has a few innovations not seen in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I like the stages a lot better. More room to fight, as well as more interaction between the stage and the characters. In one stage, a giant alligator will eat your character if you’re not careful. Also, the characters can hang onto walls.
At the end of the day, is this game as good as Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Probably not. Smash was unique, like a first love. However, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up is fun in its own right and worth trying if you want more Smash-style playing or different characters.

I bought this game on the release day, full of anticipation as a life long Turtles fan, especially of the 80′s cartoon series.
Initially I was extremely disappointed, due to the poor character roster (which included no characters exclusive to the 80′s cartoon), horrible story for single player mode, and UbiSoft’s general refusal to acknowledge the disappointment among the fan base (they STILL haven’t change the Smash Up website, which lists 7 question marks under the characters when only the 3 Rabbids are left).
However, several months later I’ve finally decided to write a review, having played the game a bit more and gotten over my initial frustrations. It’s really not a bad fighting game, almost like Smash Bros’ Lite. Sure, the 1-player story mode is horrendously lacking, and the character variety still isn’t interesting. But the levels are mostly well designed, and online play is surprisingly smooth (a sad rarity for a Wii game).
If you have Smash Bros. Brawl already, there is no reason to buy this as that is superior in almost every way. But for the current price of $20, Ninja Turtles: Smash Up is a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a fighting game for their Wii.
So to sum up: Worth $20 if you don’t own Smash Bros., not worth $50 under any circumstances (not nearly enough content).

OK, for a third party title I’m going to go out on a limb and give this a 5. I think this is as close to perfect as we’ve seen in a game that wasn’t specifically built by Nintendo from eth ground up to be a Wii title. The controls are superb, the levels are interesting, the action fun and the graphics are top notch for any Wii title, regardless of first party or third. This is some seriously good stuff. Beats the pants off of the last bunch of Turtles releases on any platform.
