Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
What Platinum has been able to achieve while also ensuring the game makes it out in time for the movie is something other developers only dream that they can do. By licensed game standards Platinum has been able to use its “Bayonetta framework” to deliver a fine iteration of a classic franchise. What is unfortunate is that all it needed was some more time. Ultimately, all that’s wrong with Mutants in Manhattan was that it couldn’t meet Platinum’s own stratospheric standards.

4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay has been criticized for its dull and repetitive level design, lack of engaging combat mechanics, and a core loop that feels uninspired, leading to a quick sense of exhaustion. While some players appreciate the art style, the overall experience is marred by a lack of variety and depth.
“The art style is nice, and the combat is mechanically okay.”
“Dull level design and core gameplay loop; I saw everything it had to offer within a few hours. Combat mechanics fail to be interesting, and that repetitive theme at the end of each completed section is frustrating.”

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — Mutants in Manhattan (PC)
Given the options of older audiences I could not recommend this game at the MSRP $40. Still, even kids wanting to play with their friends might be out of luck already. At the time of this writing, multiplayer on PC is already dead. Then again, Mutants in Manhattan has always lacked soul.
