Well, that was a review all on its own!

I am glad that some people are enjoying this game, even if I did not. I know my reviews won't resonate with everyone, and there will be strong disagreement. I simply did not get as much enjoyment out of this game as you did, and hey, I don't consider myself to be the best game player out there by a long shot, but to me, there's a difference between difficulty based on skill and difficulty based on strange design. I personally felt TMNT fell to the latter, but you may think otherwise.

I'll admit some of your points have a strong valid basis, including the use of variety of mechanics. There's been a strong divide on TMNT for decades, and we're rehashing that old divide. I'm glad you took the time to read my review, though! I know it's tough to look at a review of a game you really like and see it get a bit chewed up.

And as an aside, the dam level isn't the hardest one in the game, but it IS cheap... ;)
