Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters

I would've preferred a Turtles in Time sequel

Gameplay

Shallow gameplay. Only two attack buttons plus three special moves which are basically the same for every character - a fireball, lunge, and uppercut. Still, simple doesn't mean bad.
Take no damage while blocking so you or enemy can just sit back and wait the clock out if you want to. Pretty lame.
Responsive controls
Only 4 fighters to choose from in story mode. Guess which ones?
Insanely difficult, even on easy.

4 / 5

Level Design

Some nice arenas with a bit of animation and even some destructible elements
The googly eyed dinosaur in Triceraton's stage is disconcerting, however

4 / 5

Theme

Ninja Turtles are awesome.
You can fight as April!

4 / 5

Art Style

Large sprites
Good animation
Everything is well drawn
The Turtles look weird. I'm just so used to the original cartoon designs and the original comic book designs that anything else looks strange but these are just unappealing

2 / 5

Audio

Music ranges from good to awful.
Sounds are decent with satisfying crunches when a hit lands, but they're more metallic and garbled than the SNES version.
