In 1991, I went to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. The Turtles were barely using their weapons now, Casey Jones was gone, and April O\u2019Neil wasn\u2019t Judith Hoag anymore \u2013 which was like coming back after holidays to find the classmate you had a crush on had changed schools. Put simply, it wasn\u2019t what I\u2019d expected, and I find myself in a similar position with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed. What I expected <\/em>was a basic 3D beat \u2019em up that would be over in a few hours. What we got <\/em>is actually a 14-hour light RPG, with a basic 3D beat \u2019em up tying together long sections of exposition and relationship building. Unfortunately, like with The Secret of the Ooze, moving in an unexpected direction doesn\u2019t automatically make the end result good. Despite a clear effort on the part of developer aheartfulofgames to make Mutants Unleashed a juicy and authentic follow-up story to 2023\u2019s Mutant Mayhem film, it quickly becomes tedious thanks to a significant lack of enemy variety and small selection of constantly reused levels. It\u2019s not ninja crap, but the T.U.R.T.L.E. power is limited.<\/p>\n

As far as I\u2019m concerned, the original 1990 TMNT movie is untouchable, but I do feel Mutant Mayhem is the best TMNT movie since <\/em>the first. Its deliberately imperfect, hand-drawn appearance is remarkable, its soundtrack is impeccable, and \u2013 as the father of a 16-year-old \u2013 it contains easily the most believably teenage Turtles ever.<\/p>\n

[The graphics] ably ape the hastily sketched, asymmetrical look of Mutant Mayhem \u2013 from its crude, 2D scribbles for smoke and light sources, to Bebop\u2019s distractingly droopy pierced nipples. <\/p>\n

Mutants Unleashed comes impressively close to recreating two of those pillars itself. While the graphics don\u2019t reach par with the exquisite, painterly appearance of the movie, they ably ape the hastily sketched, asymmetrical look of Mutant Mayhem \u2013 from its crude, 2D scribbles for smoke and light sources, to Bebop\u2019s distractingly droopy pierced nipples. The four main Turtles themselves are also in sync with their movie counterparts, largely thanks to the fact the voice stars of the movie have returned here. If the budget could\u2019ve stretched to include some of the film\u2019s licensed music, they could\u2019ve had the trifecta. It sadly didn\u2019t but, unfortunately, Mutants Unleashed has several more pressing problems than a lack of iconic \u201990s hip hop up in here (up in here).<\/p>\n

Can I Kick It?<\/h2>\n

While a 14-hour TMNT RPG may sound like slam dunk value on paper, Mutants Unleashed is actually stretched to a breaking point over that surprisingly lengthy duration. The main story missions quickly become dreary once you notice it\u2019s constantly rehashing the same stages.<\/p>\n

Mutants Unleashed tries hard to obfuscate how many levels it actually has by having us run backwards through ones we\u2019ve previously completed, or switching up the fixed camera to a different angle, but it\u2019s very transparent. There\u2019s also far too much loading required as we complete sections, which just feels like a cheat to shuffle the order of environments used for each mission without blending them together. Either way, clambering across the same construction site, running through the same pipe, riding up and down the same elevator, and scurrying over the same cargo ships gets old, quick.<\/p>\n

Worse, very little exploration is possible. Yes, there are hidden objects \u2013 and pieces of street art to find for Mondo Gecko \u2013 but Mutants Unleashed generally only punishes us for trying to veer off the path. I lost track of the number of times I tried to jump to a spot that appeared fine to land on, only to plummet to the street off camera \u2013 or be met with an invisible wall. On one stage I completely trapped myself somewhere I clearly wasn\u2019t meant to be. I\u2019ve only ever found hidden art by accidentally going the way I thought I was supposed to go anyway. <\/p>\n

Combat itself is totally serviceable, although enemies aren\u2019t very smart, and they\u2019re not always great at tracking you through the environments. The Turtles all have distinct fighting styles that can be upgraded with new moves as you progress specific relationships for each. There\u2019s little need to get into the weeds with it, though, and it\u2019s totally a button masher. This makes it accessible, but fairly mindless. I\u2019d try out new moves, but mostly to get the tutorial boxes to leave the screen, where they sometimes cover up your Turtles thanks to the fixed camera. <\/p>\n

That camera didn\u2019t really bother me for the most part; I get that it\u2019s ultimately a bit of a halfway house between an entirely third-person brawler and the 2D beat \u2019em ups of yesteryear, and Mutants Unleashed creatively replaces your character with a scratched silhouette when they\u2019re hidden by pieces of the environment. However, I did have instances where the angle was a real burden. There\u2019s not a ton of technical platforming in Mutants Unleashed, but lining up jumps and rail grinds from a 45-degree angle is like leaving your TV and trying to keep playing Tony Hawk from the toilet with the bathroom door ajar.<\/p>\n

Most disappointingly, Mutants Unleashed seems built primarily as a single-player game. The Turtles you haven\u2019t<\/em> selected will simply dip out at the beginning of every level, so you never feel like you\u2019re part of a fighting foursome \u2013 which is what TMNT is all about. Sure, it has two-player co-op, but it\u2019s not four-player, so that still doesn\u2019t feel right. You don\u2019t even get AI Turtles raising shell in the background. The special assist moves make it seem like a second Turtle is going to get involved, but activating them doesn\u2019t actually bring one of your brothers physically into the space. It\u2019s just\u2026 implied that they dropped in and bugged out, perhaps while you were blinking.<\/p>\n

It also doesn\u2019t help that enemies are just the same handful of mutants for the entire game. Trash crabs. Zebra squids. Hippo luchadores. A couple more. But it\u2019s over a dozen hours of these same few baddies. Yes, I understand a licensed tie-in game isn\u2019t going to be able to introduce important opponents from the TMNT universe \u2013 like the Foot Clan or such \u2013 before the film\u2019s inevitable sequel. Hell, I wouldn\u2019t let it either. That\u2019s how you get Emperor Palpatine returning to Star Wars in\u2026 Fortnite. At 6am Australian Eastern Daylight Time on a random Sunday morning. But Mutants Unleashed really needed more enemy variety.<\/p>\n

There are a host of side missions, but unfortunately these only contribute to the repetition. Civilian missions involve beating up a bunch of the same mutants across a couple of levels you\u2019ve almost certainly been to before. Contagion missions involve running through a level you\u2019ve almost certainly been to before, beating up the same mutants again, although this time some of them will be highlighted as key targets. Pizza deliveries are just speed runs through the same levels once more, although the enemies have been removed, and the map is now full of giant inflatable bounce pads and boom gates for no discernible reason. And no one\u2019s carrying a pizza.<\/p>\n

Mutants Unleashed features a time progression system, where each mission or conversation encounter takes either a day or a night, and then the day moves on. This puts a limit on the amount of side activities you can tackle before needing to do a main mission, but there\u2019s more than enough time to complete everything in a single playthrough. There\u2019s about two months of tasks, but I had weeks up my sleeve before needing to do the final couple of story missions and I was already out of side missions, so the time component doesn\u2019t really add a great deal. <\/p>\n

No Diggity<\/h2>\n

The RPG-style conversational component of Mutants Unleashed does add a lot of unexpected exposition, although I think the story of a new wave of mutants descending on New York and finding themselves at odds with the existing human population is <\/em>an effective and totally logical follow-up to the movie. It continues the themes that hatred and prejudice are repugnant from any side they\u2019re projected and, while \u201cdo unto others\u201d is admittedly a message that\u2019s been embedded in kids\u2019 cartoons for decades, that doesn\u2019t make it any less authentic in this new TMNT world where mutants and humans have suddenly been thrown together.<\/p>\n

Yes, not every conversation is particularly riveting, and not all of them are actually voiced, either. These sections are also entirely passive, so there are definitely times when they\u2019re simply filler. Even moments that seem custom made for a minigame \u2013 like Donatello visiting an arcade to play a dancing game \u2013 ultimately aren\u2019t interactive. An indirect dig at how rubbish Raph is in the original TMNT game is cute, but otherwise there\u2019s a bit of a weird clash of approaches at times. I raised my eyebrow as the script worked quite hard to concoct an entire fantasy catalogue of parody John Hughes films to not mention him by name \u2013 but then, on other occasions, overtly references the likes of Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris. <\/p>\n

Cutscenes are totally hamstrung by the glacial cadence of conversations.<\/p>\n

The biggest problem, however, is the pacing of the dialogue. Cutscenes are totally hamstrung by the glacial cadence of conversations, which waits line-by-line for huge dialogue boxes and canned reaction animations to pop up. This creates highly-unnatural pauses between sentences and very much kills the momentum of conversations. <\/p>\n

These scenes can mostly be skipped, or slightly sped up by hammering a button, but they\u2019re nonetheless necessary if you want to progress the Turtles\u2019 relationships with their friends around the city and unlock new upgrades. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
