But it’s still bad. Leonardo is a joke , coward . Feels like Michael Angelo and Donnie switched personalities. Mikey barely spoke. Just a low spoken line every once in a while. Maybe they felt like teenagers, but the character personalities are awful.

[@Zune137]

I feel like this version of the turtles is one of my favorites as a long-time fan. Barring the darker comic versions, I feel this is actually one of the darker, less kid-friendly animated interpretations with which a more general crowd would be familiar. The movie is great! I think the changes feel fresh and the turtles have more personality than they usually do. Give it a shot! I think I will probably play this when it goes on sale.

[@sham00ly75]

I'd have to disagree on the last part. Sure the movie is funny sometimes, that's not really a compliment these days since most average movies manage to get a chuckle out of you. I do think the movie is worth watching but it just doesn't scratch that itch most 2003 (and comics) fans have. I think if the movie hadn't ended with the turtles joining human society the sequels would've had so much more potential. We could've had the turtles grow with each movie and the story get more serious with each movie (as the audience also grows up) and they could still do that but it won't be the same since they sacrificed a core element of the tmnt (them being in the shadows).

Out Of The Shadows needs a high res and framerate port

[@BEANZNCHEESE]

As a weirdo who still has a downloaded copy of the game even before it got delisted on my PS3, i have so many great childhood memories of it despite the glitches, with that being said I would love the game to come back the combat was fun but also a little clunky, the sound track is absolutely amazing and it has a cool atmosphere and art direction but if we were to ever get a port I think it needs a serious revamp, the core game should be the same but think the special move inputs need to change cuz they are just fucking weird, they need to patch the glitches, fix the controls that at times sometimes felt slow or unresponsive and they need to speed the combat up, but I doubt the game will ever see the light of day again as cool as it would be.

[@devketchem1955]

Emulate the game brother

[@wrestlefestivalent9144]

Underrated turtles games. They need to try their hand again at another Arkham style TMNT 4 player game.

[@DatPRGuy2017]

Still my personal favourite TMNT game cause out of the billion TMNT games out there it's one of the few that actually makes you feel like a ninja. I hate the 2D beat-em-ups because they barely felt like the characters outside aesthetics whereas OOTS goes all out and has stealth segments. Another element which is also barely utilized in TMNT games is their smooth parkour and agility. OOTS incorpates it and you can do environmental attacks too like wallrunning straight to combat. The only other games to have proper parkour are the Mutants in Manhattan, the 2007 tie-in and Mutants Unleashed But it does have it's flaws obviously. For one, the combat whilst having a ton of moves doesn't feel as polished as the Arkham games that's it's tryna mimic. Doing a basic combo is fine but there's input delay whilst doing counter attacks. Also there are some bugs and other technical issues which prevent it from reaching higher highs The game is also very short. There is additional stuff like the arcade mode, challenge maps and survival mode but the main campaign itself can be completed in less than a day. It needed one or two levels especially since you're not gonna get most of the upgrades even by the end of the game

[@DatPRGuy2017]

​@@BEANZNCHEESEYeah OOTS had some great combat animations and there's depth if you get the hang of the mechanics but the counter is so janky. The combat is trying to take mechanics from Arkham but fit it with TMNT but the counter isn't as smooth as Arkham and I always just resorted to rolling and evading I'd also polish the stealth too. I'm so happy that the game even has it cause TMNT games barely incorpate Ninja elements but unlike Arkham, Metal Gear Solid, etc there's no benefit to stealth and at times you're just forced into combat if you want to aim for a mostly silent approach I still appreciate it for thinking outside the box not being another run-of-the-mill beat-em-up but its ideas definitely needed more time in the oven

[@saundebm]

Being a TMNT fan since their birth in the 80’s (comics, shows, movies, games, toys etc.) I love seeing the new interpretations, some good, some really bad. I really dug the new movie - any self professed fan should at least check it out, then make judgement. Good review on the game though

[@MistaJonz]

When I first heard about the Persona stuff with this game a few weeks ago I felt SEEN because I’d been doing Persona influenced TMNT fan art occasionally for awhile now. Honestly can’t wait to get my copy. Also the movie is good, you should check it out. As far as IDW, the Mutants in Manhattan game is based on the IDW series, especially with the character designs being based on how that series looks, mainly Mateus Santolouco’s art on those books. I know a lot of people didn’t care for the game but I liked it. Great video as always! Also just found out you can get DLC for this game where you can make the turtles look like the classic 1987 versions, like new cel shaded skins in the changing room.

[@manuelmedina8427]

Movie is actually phenomenal and you’re missing out dude

[@TurtleTitan03]

This is the best review of the game on KZbin well done, You should really give the movie a shot if you thought the X-Men angle was neat, the movie is more respectful of its entire audience than you'd expect and I'm also a grown ass man who grew up on 03 and loves the Mirage Comics above all else. As for the game my take is why not both? I already have Splintered Fate and I about finished it so I was looking for more TMNT action and picked this up, I want to love it but ATM it's more just a like, The persona elements are a big surprise and you can tell there was a lot of care putting this together which is uncommon for the publisher, I love the art style and presentation and tbh with you the Turtles designs too, I think all of them look more stereotypically teenage and playful but also contemporary enough for me to really not freak out. Music is pretty good, it seems to be of a sizable length there's cool costumes and collectibles and there's even gonna be an extra mode added with the season pass. I wouldn't have compared this to the 03 games I love those and have played the hell outta them, and while I see a bit what you mean in what this could have harkened too for you I would say it's actually more like baby's first character action game or Devil May Cry, its got the style mechanic and everything, as well as a little bit of the 2007 TMNT game movement and platforming and that's honestly great I think there's a hidden gem in Mutants Unleashed with all it tries, no it's not perfect but for the $39.99 price? I didn't think anyone of any age demographic tbh is getting ripped off, it's not too tough no but aggressive enough and nuanced enough to not be a brainless masher and I really appreciate it. The thing holding me back from loving the game honestly is just something regarding the way inputs feel and how you seemingly can't jump cancel, a mechanic I think is very important to the genre especially in a game like this where enemies are kind of frantic and attacks feel more committal, if it ever gets patched or addressed along with some smaller complaints I feel like I'd be singing all about this game as a turtles fan. Still I think it's a good time and it's nice to see someone giving it its fair due imo, I think a lot of people wrote it off already due to the publishers track record and another bunch of people wrote it off for not being like their TMNT, for not being the AAA TMNT Game they always fantasize about and well even dumber politics stuff I won't get into. I think you were able to push past all that and give it a genuine fair shake and I appreciate that. I would love to see an expanded follow up to this game honestly myself

I'm an old fart in my late 30s who grew up with the OG turtles cartoon and movies, and I still enjoyed the new movie. I liked the art style and the voice acting was decent enough. So it's worth watching at least once if you're a TMNT fan. My only gripe was the new April character. She wasn't poorly done or anything, but she's just not who the April character is supposed to be and is clearly there to check a box, which is unfortunate. Granted, it's more eye roll inducing than it is a detriment to the overall product. It's certainly a modern take on the franchise which isn't going to be for everyone, but it's decent enough for what it is. Seems like same goes for this game... That being said, I also 100% prefer the darker/gritty TMNT styles as well as the original cartoon style over this. There's no denying that. So, I'm glad to see that they're still doing other things with the franchise and that this isn't the new standard.

[@UnluckyGamingChannel]

You should give this era a fair chance, and the 2012 era, and Rise as well. When I first came of internet age in about 2008, '87 fans who never watched 2003 completely dominated the discussion and they hated the idea of the franchise continuing and being different from what they grew up with. Give it a fair go, if you hate it, you hate it, can't be helped.

TMNT has been my favorite franchise since the 87 turtles. I hope they get a big budget game that they deserve eventually. I know The Last Ronin is supposed to come, so maybe that'll open the door.

[@AlternateF8]

Having never played a Persona game and started with the Eastmen/Laird TMNT, I might have to try this game out. Funny to be playing baby's first Persona game when I'm nearing 50, but I guess you gotta start somewhere :) . I will say that the movies had some surprising highlights. There have been things I've grown to appreciate about pretty much every non-Bay version of the turtles and, for me, the voice acting in this was a highlight. Precisely because it wasn't what I expected. It was the first time they had the turtles voiced by actual kids and I found that really unsettling at first. After a 2nd viewing though and watching some behind the scenes stuff about the making of the film, I found it a lot more interesting. I absolutely agree with your Last Ronin take, but for me it's always been about the "Ninja" turtles and this movie made me have to take a step back and really acknowledge that the first word of the title has always been "Teenage" and that has rarely been emphasized in a more realistic fashion. Full disclosure, I did need my teenage daughter to explain several references so I obviously wasn't the target audience. Great video as always Matty!

I don't think you'll like this movie, I personally don't think it's that good story wise (the animation and artstyle is amazing, the design for the turtles is acceptable to me but the humans look terrible in my opinion, or they just all look ugly and short, weird design choice) but I think the 2012 series is worth it. It's not as good as 2003 but it really does get dark in the later seasons and there is an overarching story going on, the turtle designs aren't bad in my opinion(not the feet LOL) I think it gets better with every season and climaxes in the second part of season 4. It really is worth watching even if it's not as good as the 2012 I think it has moments that are worth it. I think this game seems interesting enough but I'd probably only get it if it was at most 10$ .

I could see someone thinking that’s ridiculous if they’ve never seen the comics. The original TMNT comics from the mid ‘80s (by Mirage) are very different from the kid-friendly cartoons and movies. The first issue shows the Turtles cursing and drinking beer, and Shredder getting stabbed in the stomach by Leonardo. The Last Ronin comic is all about dealing with the loss of family, and revenge.

The movie isn’t half bad, I liked it but it does have a few things that are definitely gonna make it feel a bit outdated in the future. I do prefer a more mature take on the turtles myself. Loved The Last Ronin and I’m really hoping the game turns out well

[@devketchem1955]

this game has some ugly models in cutscenes, beyond that. the games got heart. you can unlock the framerate in ryujinx, making it way better. or play on pc, cause the 30 fps cap is terrible

[@stevie9632]

Games kinda dope

[@cranesalvation8391]

The Persona mechanics suddenly made me interested in this lol

[@RedKnightInGotham]

So if I'm only interested in this game for the combat sections, should I just wait for a sale?

[@cpurday9681]

Are we playing the same game? I’m only one level past the first bosses, but it’s not very good at all. There’s nothing to the hanging out, the combat is shallow and limited (and not fun), the game is buggy and it’s ugly. I’m glad I returned the copy I bought and got it from the library. It’s the worst game I’ve played this year.

[@andewgeeves]

I can’t stand the Persona games and thought Metaphor was the worst opening to a game BUT this sounds great!

[@jameswilliston9926]

You're missing out with the movie imo. I'm OLD. Old enough that I knew TMNT as Eastman and Lairds weird dark black and white comic, then the cartoon which was tonally totally different, suddenly a live action movie was announced..I think I was around 13 when the first one came out. My point is I went in to the latest film absolutely expecting to dislike it. Thought it was great. Someone else mentioned Spiderverse films and while I don't think it was as good, that's not really a criticism as few things are, I'd agree there's something there like what those films did.

[@McBerts522]

I can always coupon Matty to be my TMNT guy. Lol 🤙

[@NerdInked]

Matty, we do have an idw turtles game. It’s Mutants in Manhattan, and that game rocks.

[@keychainere]

I grew up on 87 turtles… I’m old.

[@sneakyfox5]

I knew it was unfinished. It’s great in theory, but they should’ve kept this in the oven longer.

[@oldmatedave2382]

BACON EGG AND CHEESE YURRRRT YUUUUUURT

[@-nexusxv-8514]

Im biased But tmnt 2007 movie was peak tmnt for me

[@oreomega2545]

L take lol the art direction and voice acting in this i thought was awesome lol like you said it really adds to the teenage vibe and authencity of this franchise. I bought the art book as soon as it went up for preorder

[@popblender]

MATTY! Clean that microphone wind muff! Do u have a cat that rubs on it? ! It's getting a close up in this video. 🤣

[@matthewbolitho-jones]

I like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed

[@McBerts522]

U know, I really dislike the redesign of these characters they just look awful and gross. Like why is the turtles dating like April or something? Like what is this garbage. Lol where’s the foot and shredder? The wrong ppl are working for these companies these days. It’s just bad decisions after bad decisions.

[@Theone-be8xl]

If you can take a flight to New Zealand you can watch the damn movie! Lmao

[@donutsama285]

Damn the screen shaking is insane in this game.

[@JayMoneyGuillen]

Have you done a review of the old 360 game TMNT out of the shadows? I’d watch your hot take on that game.

[@smartdarpog7058]

Is this game open world or have any sandbox exploration? Not asking for too much I just want to have some freedom and jump across rooftops

[@josephfries7734]

You REALLY harped on the art style… jeeze

[@Xboxcampking334]

I give it a ign 7

[@shesaid27]

Watch the movie bro

[@cirmothe9]

You think April looks cool? Really? x doubt

[@travispipes3]

Not finishing the video. How have you not watched Mutant Mayhem yet?!

[@alex_de_tampa]

The movie was pretty good overall but not my ideal turtles movie but still worth the watch

[@BostonManny617]

I was looking forward to getting it but the reviews been killing it for me

[@MultyMutant]

Both the movie and the game are an incredible waste of time, resources and overall franchise potential. Literally the worst TMNT interpretation existing up to date.
