Recently, with the help of the Playstation Network, I was able to acquire this remake of a CLASSIC game. If you’ve never had the privelage to play “Turtles in Time,” just push in an upward motion to move the rock you’ve been trapped under for God knows how long.
For those fortunate enough to know this game like the back of your hand, prepare yourselves. They based the game off of the original Arcade version, not the SNES version. When I played for the first time I almost lost my shit (in a bad way), but I kept my shit because it is still fun.
It all started in Scene 3, “Sewer Surfin’ “, when I didn’t get to fight the Rat King. At the end of the level, Shredder appeared in hologram form to send me to a prehistoric time. This wouldn’t have bothered me had my favorite boss battle not been on the next level. The first Shredder battle, in which you must toss Foot Soldiers at your screen… as in right at your face! How fun is that shit!? Answer: Very.
It made me quite sad to miss out on a revamped battle of that caliber, however, it’s still a fun ass game.
If I remember correctly, there is a power move of sorts in the SNES version which hurts you as well as others. “Re-Shelled” has a power move that doesn’t hurt you, and easily clears a path in a pinch. So… that’s nice…
I could go through the entire game and list the boss battles that aren’t there, or switched, but that would ruin the game experience. Not for a lack of good gameplay, but because I don’t want to write a giant spoiler. “Re-Shelled” is still a fun game despite changes from the SNES version. It’s a different feel for a classic experience. Get some friends to join in and I guarantee a good time. If you have an SNES, go with the original. If not, “Re-Shelled” is worth the money you’d have to SHELL out.
Here’s the trailer if you haven’t seen it already:
