Quoted from mpdpvdpin:People hate this game cause it’s hard. I LOVE IT because it’s hard. Perfect home game. Hard to master and great depth and width of code and rule set. Severely underrated. If you’re the type to just slap around for fun, forget it. But if you’re the type to read and understand the rules, strategize and play for completion. Great f’n game.
I don’t think tmnt is that hard. I never really had many unearned stdm or outlanes. Once you’ve dialed in your shots it’s quite “easy”. JP2 is hard. And I guess I mean, I can see almost all of tmnt every game and my scores will vary wildly even though it seems I played a similar game - but JP2 I can have games where I play different strategies and see way different things each game and it’s “hard” to accomplish it all or a damn good chunk of it in a game. And in JP2 my scores are not 12x different when I played a “similar” game…
Or let me put it this way:
I can play a single ball in one multiball mode and have a 10x higher score than a game where I play 7 episodes and 3 multiball modes (and a few hurry ups, foots, krangs and pizza eating). And I’ve seen most of the game in the latter except the last episode, final battle MB and maybe the ultimate wizard MB.
That very common juxtaposition in TMNT just didn’t make sense to me and the game just didn’t have staying power. But I loved the artwork and theme and it still wasn’t that hard to let it go from the collection. However, my 6yo daughter gave me a hard time for letting it go as she loved choosing her turtle. Oops.
Sorry - this is not the TMNT review thread…
