Re: TMNT: Out of the Shadows

GT review,calls it an "abomination": http://www.gametrailers.com/reviews/...shadows-review

lol...his hyperbole aside, the genuine disgust of the reviewer makes that a must-watch review. Thoroughly enjoyable. It's always interesting to me how certain games just seem to set reviewers off. They'll gloss over numerous issues in a $60 release, yet tee off on a $15 dollar arcade title.

After reading various comments and reviews, I'm starting to wonder if there is a significant difference between the Steam and 360 version in terms of stability because, aside from the camera and bad AI teammates, we haven't had any performance issues on PC, thankfully.

Now, I certainly wouldn't call the game good (it's definitely a flawed and underwhelming game IMO, especially when running through solo...though my son LOVES it, regardless), but I certainly feel that I've gotten my money's worth.

I think it's fun, but there are definitely issues. I played it with two buddies last night for about 2 hours. We had a great time, but there were definitely some problems. At the big Baxter boss fight, my buddy who was Donatello, got stuck inside the building - had to switch to a different turtle and then Donny morphed back.

The combat system is fun, but lags, which makes it tough to string combos together. It tries to play like the Arkham games, but can't. You can get stuck in combo strings, which blows.

The camera is the most frustrating part of the game. I've found myself stuck up against walls, mashing the x button because the camera is clipping inside a building and I can't see. It's the worst part of the game.

The campaign is really short too.

However, I still had tons of fun with my 2 friends. It's probably more nostalgia than anything because the three of us are big turtles fans.

I think the bigger problem is not mentioning problems at all in one $60 game and making a federal case out of the exact same problems in another $60 game. The $15 stuff usually gets let off a bit.

PC version is usually a lot better from a technical standpoint.
