TeamXbox Review - 8.8
As said, HD support really helps TMNT: Turtles In Time Re-Shelled come alive, but Ubisoft did more than just add resolution in its quest for aesthetics. Both backgrounds and characters have received a healthy bump up in quality—not a jaggy to be found. Turtles In Time Re-Shelled doesn’t quite look cel-shaded, but it does have a fancy sheen that completely modernizes this code. Again, some will no doubt complain about the heavy visual polishing, but Ubisoft really did a fine job here of adding artistic brilliance without sacrificing the essence of the original experience in the process. It’s worth noting that referenced visual polish for Turtles In Time Re-Shelled carries throughout—from the shell-pattern menu screens to the fancy H.U.D. graphics, complete with a commendable font choice. The only real downside to the superior look is a bit of loading time, but it’s more than bearable. Bottom line: It’s one of the better classic coin-op’s graphic re-imaginings that you’ll find on XBLA.Four difficulty levels and slightly reworked enemy AI (that keeps the emphasis on the user playing well to progress, not on ramped-up difficulty with the goal of eating more of an arcade player’s quarters) makes for an entertaining pick-up-and-play experience. Yes, it’s important to know that it takes very little skill to do well in TMNT: Turtles In Time Re-Shelled. The only technique that will make you better at than the next guy is probably a bit of a cheater quirk—if you attack enemies while moving in what would be the Z-axis, they become somewhat defenseless.
Moving fore and aft in the Z axis, attacking all the while, is the quickest way to take down the baddies of Turtles In Time Re-Shelled. If you don’t use this trick and are playing as a single turtle, you’ll more than likely get a severe, gang-up-style beatdown in the higher difficulty settings. This tough solo gameplay could also say something about the original game’s design and the way in which Ubisoft set Turtles In Time Re-Shelled up. This hack-and-slash is meant to be played cooperatively (either locally or via Xbox Live) with a total of four users. Four strong—that’s how turtles roll.
To Konami’s credit, the original TMNT: Turtles In Time is worlds better than its predecessor, even though only a few years separated their arcade appearances. This in itself makes Turtles In Time Re-Shelled better than the XBLA version of TMNT from the get-go. Add to the mix the meticulous reworking by Ubisoft and a fair 800 Microsoft Point price tag (about $10), and you’re suddenly staring at one of the best XBLA hack-and-slash classics ever to grace Xbox Live Arcade.Achievements
You won’t find many easier Achievement lists than the one in TMNT: Turtles In Time Re-Shelled. You’ll pretty much be rewarded for doing what is necessary to beat the game in its various modes. You won’t have to go out of your way too often to score an achievement, nor will you have to venture online. The only achievement that will take some work is the 30-point “Heroes in a Half-Shell” milestone that requires a user to beat the Story Mode four times before it’s all said and done.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

It's up. Go to browse all games and it's at the bottom of the T's. Some people say it's not there, I scrolled over to top rated (with the new dashboard preview) and it was at the bottom there.Comment

Re: TMNT: Turtles In Time Remake?
Yeah, every time I go into this thread I'm thinking about how awesome this would be, but I watch a video and makes me wish they went a different route, especially visually, with this game. I think I'd rather play the SNES version instead of the arcade version anyway.
It's unfortunate, but I don't think I'll be buying this when it comes out on PSN.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
