Hey, Monster here with a game review!!! It has been more than a month. Like seriously, When did I go from making one review per day To one per a month....
This time I'm reviewing a portable game! What a surprise! And it's a game about the ninja turtles! Now I'm a big Teenage Mutant Ninja
turtles fan. From the comics to the 1987 cartoon show, To my favourite turtles! The '03 the turtles. The current series is good too.
The turtles had a lot of games. And A lot are great! This one is not quite great, But it's still good. This game was released in good ol' 1990 ( I was totally alive back then) The same year that one of my favourite films was released, Teenage mutant ninja turtles the movie!

Well, I thought really hard to come up with a new section for my reviews and I finally have it! It's called cover the ?box!


COVER THE BOX
The box of this game differs between all regions. This is the Japanese Coverimg]http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/8/5/0/46850_front.jpg[/img]. This is the japanese back:
This is the North american cover:
This is the north american back:
And this is the European Cover:
And finally the European back:

Now First up I'll give you my favourite in order!

Number 3: The North american Box. I like this one But i don't think that it is as cool as the others.
Number 2: The european Box. I liked this one a lot better, Not a lot is different but the colour just feels better.
Number 1: The japanese box. I like this box a lot. It was so cool and rad. And the picture of splinter on the back is Just Shellarific!

I'll cover the North american box first. The details are nice. The turtles look good. I especially like Donnie and Mikey on this box. The foot soldiers also look good

The back of the box looks rather dull. It shows the logo which you have already seen on the cover and some screenshots. And of course the description. Not a whole lot to say.

Next is the european box. When you look at the box, You might see that it says teenage mutant hero turtles, Instead of ninja turtles. This was because they censorerd the word ninja... Yeah... i find this cover to be more detailed then the U.S one. Besides that Nothing to say really. The back is the same as the U.S One but Becuase ultra games does not exist here in europe it just says konami.

And now it is time for the japanese box! ?To me the cover looks good. ?The color to me looks better and ?The weapons look more detailed. The back looks a whole lot better then the european and U.S ?backs. You have a nice picture of splinter and better placed screenshots. You have less of a description tough.

That was Cover the box! Wow.. This review is already 630 words long! I should really get started here!


Graphics: 8/10
Now, Not a whole lot ?of people like how this game looks. People say that it looks ugly.Well i would disagree.

The turtles look great. They all look like their cartoon counterparts. ( This game is based on the 1987 cartoon series) When you are not using your weapon, Some turtles will interact with their weapons: ?Raphael Flips his sai, and Mikey flips his Nu
nchuk. The enemies look cool and are pretty well detailed too. Kraang looks really cool, He is big and he really looks like a legit last boss.

I criticize almost every background in a gameboy game! And this one, Is no exception. I just really think that they could have done better. I like the background in the first level that says 90's rule tough.

They just look bland and uninspired.. I know That I always say that but I always feel like ?I have too.

Between levels you have cutscenes. They look very good and they are pretty fun for what it is. You also have bricks falling down on you, It looks pretty good. Now for the animation. It looks great. When you jump, It looks like the cartoon. Flying enemies look Terrific. Using your weapon looks cool. Now not a whole lot to say about the graphics in this game. i mean it's a gameboy game.


Overall: The graphics are good. What hold it back in my opinion are the backgrounds. But the other things are nice and well detailed. I rate the graphics a 8.


Sound 10/10
Now for the sound, It's freaking awesome!! First up are the sound effects. They are great. Destroying enemies is so satisying. When you destroy robots, Destroy foot soldiers jump it's all really cool and sounds great for the gameboy. But the main reason that this is a 10/10 Is because of the music, It's amazing. You have the Teenage mutant ninja turtles 1987 cartoon theme song in all of it's awesome 8 bit glory. And the original music is just incredible. You have the sewer music from level one. And so much more awesome tracks. I am really really impressed by what the gameboy could handle. But this game was made by konami, That explains the awesomeness. You have up beat songs and Cool underground songs. It fits the game likea ?glove and is worth listening to outside of the game for sure.In fact I have ?all of the tracks on my Ipod and PSP. Amazing. It truly rocks. Stage 2's music is my favourite.. How they used everything is just great. Listen to the music on it's own. It's really worth it.

Overall: I'm just gonna repeat my self If I drag this on. ? The music is amazing. Listen to it ?NOW. ?A 10/10 for sure.


Addictiveness: 9/10
This game is pretty addicting. You want to beat the game because it is very short. And the game is a lot of fun. It's also pretty darn tough so You want to try it again and again. The controls are flewent and luckily you can change the stupid decision of Using B to jump and A to attack. Which adds to the addictiveness. It reacts well And is really easy to pick up and play. But hard to put down. The levels are pretty long tough. And the music just makes you want to continue. It's like everytime you go to a next level, You unlock a new awesome track. It's really cool. It has good level design, And it is a lot of fun playing trough the levels. It does not really have a lot of replay value, But everytime you play the game You can choose a different turtle to play the game with. Not a whole lot is different but it adds to the replay value a bit. And another thing, When you start the game, You just want to beat it. Yes it is easy to pick up But like I said, Hard to put down! And I mean this is a 90's konami teenage mutant ninja turtles game, You know that the game will be addicting. It is a lot of fun jumping from log to log. Beating foot soldiers in awesome ways. ?The gameplay is also addicting, But I will make a section for gameplay.

Overall: Teenage mutant ninja turtles: Fall of the foot clan is addicting. The controls are fluent and the gameplay is addicting. The music is just incredible which makes you want to continue the game. And overall it is just very addicting. a 9/10 for sure.


Story: 2/10

What is this ?super mario? Well anyway the story is this: April O'neil ( A news broadcaster and good friend of the turtles) Gets kidnapped by foot soldiers and they take her to the technodrome. ?To get their they have to battle numerous foot soldiers and enemies. Yeah It's not a good story at all. I know a lot of people that will only play a game that has a good story. ?Now I don't agree with that at all. I care about the controls and gameplay the most. The controls and gameplay make up for it. Not a whole lot to say really.

Overall: Overall the story is flat, And it is like nearly every other game based on the 1987 cartoon. ( With the exception for turtles in time and The sequels to this game)


Depth: 3/10

Now the biggest downfall of this game Is the depth. There is just not a lot to do. And the game is friggin short.

There is no variety apart from the mini games But I'll get to that. You only have 5 levels And a HARD last level. The levels are pretty long But still This game is not long at all. For a game that was released on a system were super mario land 2 and wario land were on released there is no excuse. The game is a lot of fun yes, But it is really short and that is just stupid. There could have been more levels in this game! I Was like, No not this soon! I want to keep playing. This is a good game yes, But it should have been way longer. I have not beaten the sequels, Mainly because the second just kicks my butt. And the third.. I dunno really. And now for the mini-games. I don't know a lot about them because I'm just freaking awesome at this game. Well anyway, It goes like this: When you lose all of your health, Your turtle gets captured. In those mini-games you have to chance to save them. I have not played any of them in a long time, But they are very tough And I was never able to beat one mini-game I believe. ?The game only takes a half hour to beat for me.

Overall: Overall the depth is bad. The game is very short, And you just want more at the end of it. A 3/10.


Difficulty: 8/10

Now I am not rating this for me, As I have played and beaten this game 2000 times. The first time I played this game, i got my but kicked. The first stage is pretty easy, But the later levels will kick your butt If you have not played this game before. And I know that experts will tell me, YOU SUCK. And yeah I probably do, The last stage sticks out to me as a rage maker. Enemies everywhere, Hassles everywhere. And I got so angry when i played that stage for the first time, Like really angry. ?The underwater stage is also pretty frustrating. You keep falling off of the logs. The controls are good tough, And it never feels like the quality of the game. It always feel slike you did something wrong, Well except for the last stage. That stage feels a bit cheap really.

Overall: Overall this game is tough. The last stage is really hard, But the game is still really fun.

Gameplay: 10/10

And now for the gameplay. This won't be a long section but anyway, The gameplay is this: It's a simple 2D platformer. You kill enemies and Jump from platform to platform. Not a whole lot to say. But it's awesome fun. Great gameplay, It never gets old.



Memories: I do have some memories of this game. I got this game when i was around 9 years old. I really sucked at it, But after trying a lot ?I did better.


Overall: Overall this game is a lot of fun. It's a great game Even tough it's short.The gameplay and controls are great and the sound is incredible. ?8.4/10!

Great review I am also a big fan of ninja turtles I really enjoyed reading your review.

imamonster : What an awesome review man! I liked your intro and the fact you showed the two different box arts. Keep writing your reviews, they are great man

Great review but it seems like it was dragged on and on in the beginning. Still awesome review overall even if it dragged on. Keep on writing them! 
 
I have only owned one teenage mutant ninja turtles game but I did enjoy it.

I loved this game when it came out. I may not have aged particularly well, but it was awesome back then. About as good as can be expected for a beat 'em up released near launch of the GameBoy itself.

Great music, fun gameplay and the graphics were good for the time/console.

Good review! I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

TheReaper7290 : Wow thank you!
juuldude :  Thanks a lot! i  wanted to be original so that's why I thought of cover the box.
awesomeguy279 : Maybe it was a bit yes. But I did not feel that when I was writing. I just could not stop. Also you can just skip the beginning . But thanks for replying. I am glad that you still liked it!
Jordanv78 : Wow a global replies to my review? I agree. Back in the day, this would have been the best thing ever.

imamonster : That's really cool, especially since the Japanese and North-American cover are different

decent review. a good amount of detail, but your personal layout makes it difficult to see the images you linked. on top of that, theres that whole uber long several sections that have nothing to do with the actual game.  on a side note, you said enough about the game that i know for a fact i would never want to play it. so thank you for that. plenty of detail, but terrible formatting. you make far too many breaks and turn a group of 5 word sentences into a "paragraph". also, its usually a good idea to avoid using AND to start a sentence when said sentence has no verbs nor nouns.

TetraDigm : I do not agree with what you said. As it made no sense to me.

imamonster : this isnt an argument or a "trade insults" conversation son. im giving you advice because you clearly have some writing ability, but terrible punctuation and capitalization fixed only somewhat by the spell check. as well as a frequent misuse of words. if youd like, i can easily go through all your reviews and give advice on them all. but it seems like i already know how youll respond, so good luck kid.

TetraDigm : What the heck. I did not use a spell check, Plus i'm 11 years old. All of my paragraphs are big. My punctuation is good. And my use of caps is good. I'm a dutch 11 year old. What the heck do you excpect.

imamonster : really? hmm i guess it just looks like you did. i suppose its the randomly deciding to or not to capitalize I, or randomly capitilizing letters mid sentence.

also, your profile says youre 16. on a side note, for being an 11 year old you actually do have some very nice writing talent going for you.

Nice review I liked it very much. Also being a fan of tmnt I had to read it. Keep up the good work.

rebelyell : Thank you rebel, I'm glad that you liked it. And this is a good game. Reccomended.
