 Heroes in a halfshell, put in a half made game Oct 07, 2009
By Mr Mister
"Mr mister"
This game was a great idea. It is basically a take on the popular smash bros, but it managed to miss nearly all the elements that made Smash bros good.
For one, the character movement, actions, response seems to be EXTREMELY slow, and often choppy at times.
The stage Variety 'kind-of' works, but the stages are not put together too well it seems.
The only thing this game managed to do what take a popular franchise and turn it into about 20 mins of fun. If youre looking for a game thats fun like this, Smash Bros is cheaper, and has more hours of gameplay.
I would suggest copying Power-Stone 2 OR Bleech... would make for an interesting game

Worth $20, not worth $50 Dec 28, 2009
By Mal
I bought this game on the release day, full of anticipation as a life long Turtles fan, especially of the 80's cartoon series.
Initially I was extremely disappointed, due to the poor character roster (which included no characters exclusive to the 80's cartoon), horrible story for single player mode, and UbiSoft's general refusal to acknowledge the disappointment among the fan base (they STILL haven't change the Smash Up website, which lists 7 question marks under the characters when only the 3 Rabbids are left).
However, several months later I've finally decided to write a review, having played the game a bit more and gotten over my initial frustrations. It's really not a bad fighting game, almost like Smash Bros' Lite. Sure, the 1-player story mode is horrendously lacking, and the character variety still isn't interesting. But the levels are mostly well designed, and online play is surprisingly smooth (a sad rarity for a Wii game).
If you have Smash Bros. Brawl already, there is no reason to buy this as that is superior in almost every way. But for the current price of $20, Ninja Turtles: Smash Up is a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a fighting game for their Wii.
So to sum up: Worth $20 if you don't own Smash Bros., not worth $50 under any circumstances (not nearly enough content).
EDIT: Just thought I'd add a quick additional note. The game is still fun, but sadly online play has been dead for several months. It's basically impossible to find anyone to play with unless you set it up in advance online. Still a decent game in its own right, but don't buy if you think you want to spend most of the time online fighting.

Unrealized Potential Oct 02, 2009
By Bruce Wayne
"Onin Solstice"
Although the fighting mechanics are solid and the multiplayer modes are fun enough for some laid back action. The guts of TMNT is left under utilized. With such a rich history of characters, heroes and villains, TMNT only gives you the bare essentials. The roster is thin with little interest besides the titualr 4 turtles. You get Splinter, Shredder, April and Casey Jones. And a handful of unknowns who will seem alien to fans of the classic TV show. Left on the outs are Bebop, Rocksteady, Rat King, Baxter Stockman, Leatherhead, Krang etc. Such missed potential.
What is there is solid enough for a fun round of couch Turtle fighting. The graphics are polished and the Turtles specifically are nicely animated with great looking levels to play on. Overall it's a great concept for a game that loses it's mojo somewhere along the way. If all you need to have fun are Leo, Mike, Raph and Don then you'll get a fun package. For fans of the show, you might be wise to wait for the sequel.

 Not Smash, but surprisingly fun Oct 31, 2009
By Enjolras
A lot of reviewers have compared Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and I think the comparison is pretty good. The gameplay feels a lot like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, even going so far as incorporating strong "A button" moves. I think if you like Smash and want more, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up would be a good addition.
A lot of reviewers have criticized this game for not having a lot of characters. I think there's some truth to that, but not a whole lot. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up does have fewer characters initially, but there are at least some secret characters. Also, let's remember that Super Smash Bros. Brawl had more characters, but less than half were even decent and most were lousy. Whenever I played with my friends, we tended to only use about 3 characters each. Frankly, adding a bunch of Jigglypuffs to the character roster did not really do much for me. By contrast, with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up, I get the sense that most of the characters are roughly equivalent and good to play with.
This game also has a few innovations not seen in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I like the stages a lot better. More room to fight, as well as more interaction between the stage and the characters. In one stage, a giant alligator will eat your character if you're not careful. Also, the characters can hang onto walls.
At the end of the day, is this game as good as Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Probably not. Smash was unique, like a first love. However, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up is fun in its own right and worth trying if you want more Smash-style playing or different characters.

Not quite a missed oppurtunity, but definitely could've been better Jun 09, 2010
By Vincent Vazquez
To be succint, this is exactly what you think it is. A great Super Smash Bros. clone featuring the TMNT license. Don't be fooled that there are no direct ties to Imagi's excellent 2007 CG film - it's clearly based on that universe. And it's largely a successful game - if you like Smash, you'll dig TMNT Smash Up. Especially since it's less hectic and more skill based.
The problem with this game is content. It runs out of interesting stuff FAR too quickly. The roster is pathetic, and the stages are mostly annoying or out-of-place (a western town? What the...). There are a bunch of mini games, but that'd be like buying Street Fighter IV for the car smashing bonus round. Also, online is both broken and there's no community there anyway, so don't count on extending your replay value that way. Like most reviews stated, this definitely should've incorporated content from THROUGHOUT the 25-year history of the Turtles. How about characters like Bebop and Rocksteady? Or their "Secret of the Ooze" counterparts, Tokka and Razor? A giant Mouser? Baxter Stockman? None of them are here. It's really light on stuff. And the soundtrack blows. Considering the Turtles' have brought us such classics as Ninja Rap, T-U-R-T-L-E Power and Pizza Power, there is a NOTICEABLE lack of early 90's R&B/Hip Hop flavor to the soundtrack. It's not offensive or anything, it's just generic, unmemorable background music.
Still, it's on Amazon for, like, 8 bucks. It's definitely worth it at that price. It's a good game, just not the TMNT game you might be hoping for. Really wish Ubi Soft would've given it another shot with a sequel, but that'll never happen now. Maybe Nickelodeon's new Turtles stuff for 2011 and 2012 will re-energize the franchise, and whoever gets it next will produce the fighting game we all want. This was close, but ultimately misses the mark. And probably isn't worth it if you have Super Smash Bros. Melee or Brawl.
