Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV Review – A wonderful action classic
(Edited)
When I was little I saw a game inside one of those old amusement arcades that immediately caught my attention for its vibrant graphics, fast paced action and some really cool visual effects that triggered when you threw the enemies towards the screen, but the best thing was that when you finished a stage, the turtles exclaimed: Cowabunga!
Later, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time was released on the Super Nintendo and it was a hit thanks to its faithfulness to the arcade version, I would dare say it was just as if you had the same version at home to play but on your television instead, it’s also important to point out that it did have some gameplay improvements in comparison.
Each one of the four turtles has his own set of movement, this, as it turns out, is very satisfying when we attack our adversaries with kicks, punches and weapons. The action takes place in the same style as games like Final Fight or Double Dragon, but much faster, and it’s like this that we must hone our skills to the maximum level to avoid being crushed by our enemies.
There are a total of ten intense missions that we must complete, these missions take us to different times in the history of humankind, and we must do this to defeat the evil Shredder. We can go to the ancient times of caverns, to the time period of pirates and even reach a future timeline. And also, to make things more fun, the turtles can ride their surfing boards to surf inside the sewers and to travel on top of some fast anti-gravity platforms in a couple of races in the future timeline.

It’s worth mentioning that throughout the levels we have to face an immeasurable amount of Krang’s soldiers and other famous enemies from the franchise, like Baxter Stockman, Bebop and Rocksteady, among others. The game also has a new simple yet fun element: a two players fighting mode that uses the same gameplay as the story mode.
In conclusion, even though this is a very short action game due to its arcade origins, it was still really fun, especially if we play the cooperative mode. The best thing about it is the dynamic and catchy music, and the diverse design of the levels, I definitely recommend it even if you are not a fan of old games.
Anyway, that’s all people, now I would like to know: what do you guys think? 😎

Some days ago, I commented on another post about this game. Definitely is a gem! It's one of the games of his era that is really, really amazing and goes out of the monotony that beats up suffering at some point. Play in snes and emulators! i love it!
Yeah, this is a really great game that has aged like fine wine.
Thanks for stopping by!
I have some fond memories of this game, all the fancy moves they amazing. Me and my brother would play one of these (not sure exactly which one) and just have a good time.
Loved your review, well done! Cowabunga!
I feel the same, playing this game it in coop mode is really fun. I'm glad you liked my review!
At the time when the Nintendo NES was in fashion, I got to play many of his deliveries, they were very fun and entertaining games, especially when I played with my family, it was something that kept us all day sitting in front of the TV to play and we had a great time.
I know what you mean, I miss the good old days of playing local multiplayer games like this.
