I don't really know if anyone here is even remotly interested in this game, but I thought I'd share my thoughts with you.

In case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, it's basically Super Smash Bros with the Ninja Turtles and it's out for Wii. Short review: don't buy it.
There's nothing in the Gameplay that Brawl doesn't do better and even if you're a die-hard TMNT fan like I am, there's nothing interesting in it. Way too many missed opportunites. Too few characters.
It doesn't look very good and the soundtrack is pretty bad too.

So, what characters ARE in it?

3 different Raving Rabbids from Ubisoft

I found a cheat code online which says it would unlock Bebop and Rocksteady, but I call BS on that.

Pity. I was hoping for at least 1 obscure(to those who watched the show) comic character like they did for the SNES/Genesis fighting game.

Nope. It doesn't get much obscurer than the Utrominator, who, when I think about it, really doesn't make any sense at all.
No Usagi, no Rocksteady, no Baxter Stockman (Fly or Cyborg). And only 6 out of the 16 characters have an alternate costume. And no, the Utrominator is not one of them

Oh that sucks. I hate it when a company makes a game and then just half asses the rest. 6 have alternates? Lame. In a game like this, with the history they have, seriously they need to put in old guys and have unlockables. You know, the whole 9 yards. Crap.

Here's the link for my review.
