Ultimate gaming classic!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This game is so much fun! How many of you remember pumping quarter after quarter into this game? Well now you no longer have to! This game for the Xbox Live Arcade is the exact same as the original except better! Play with up to 4 players locally for some TMNT ninja fighting fun! Don;t have 4 people to play with? No worries! Now you can play online with people from anywhere! I have had this game for 2 years now and I have yet to have a problem finding people online to play with. It is that popular still! And the best part? Continue all you want without pumping in $25 worth of quarters!!!! This is worth every penny. If you are getting one XBLA game, this should be it! Hands down you will NOT find a better deal for your money!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Classic Arcade
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I remember this game I was just playin the trial on my xbox a few weeks back
its to bad they dont yet have it / offer it as a single game to purchase or part of a classic combo
they should make one like that

There is only one flaw about this deal I dont like and thats paying or trading points for a game that is downloaded
and I would have said that about any downloaded game cause in most cases its hardly ever worth it when you have to download it

This game - and im talking from the nintendo one they had this is the same one so im just sayin...this was one of the best games out for nintendo I liked it alot as a kid I wonder if they will bring back 2 and 3 and maybe the rest of the nintendo classic games

Checking prices here off amazon if you still have a nintendo that works you can get this game and not the download for almost the same price right now as of 9-20-09 there are some good deals on some used ones at ebay

I wouldnt trust a download for many reasons but I guess its ok if you really want to play it the game is alot of fun

But if your into resale value I would have to say pick a copy up at ebay asap cause it might go up for nintendo seeing how people are wanting to play it again and what a classic it is almost as fun as zelda for nintendo was but thats just me talking
I been talking about ebay alot thats just the place I would go for a deal you can go to any~site you want

FIVE STARS in my point of view great game

Enjoyment will be (mostly) proportional to nostalgia
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a game from the bygone era of arcades. It's graphically flashy (circa 1989), totally rad (circa 1989), and designed to eat quarters ($59.99 is the new 25 cents). This is from the time when playing video games meant you would die, repeatedly, and only quarters could bring you back to life. For $5, you don't have to worry about quarters anymore, which isn't all that bad a deal.

Enjoyment is going to be (mostly) proportional to nostalgia, so if you don't remember this game there is probably no point in picking it up now, unless you demand to play every beat 'em up in the history of gaming. It's a good beat 'em up, but it's dated -- 1989.

The port and the additions to the game are excellent - it looks and plays great. Online play is a blast, especially if you have a friend that also remembers Hammer pants and the first George Bush.

Memories…
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
A fun port of an old favorite, however the game isn’t really worth the price and I am a lot more excited about the Turtles in Time revamp which is coming out soon. I really wish I had tried the demo before buying this, as I don’t feel the value for the price paid.

I remember playing this back in the day, pumping quarter after quarter into the machine, and now that it is on Xbox Live Arcade, for $5 you get the game and can play with unlimited continues. Playing it now, you can really get a feel for just how much of a quarter muncher this is. And while you can beat the game in under a half hour, and let’s face it, the game play isn’t the greatest; it’s still worth it for the nostalgia alone.

It is the classic on XBOX. I bought a copy for my friend so we can play online. It is a lot of fun.

Great nostalgia for a short time.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this game because it was only [...] bucks. It reminded me of when I was a youth and spent countless of my mom’s quarters trying to beat it. Well the nostalgia was definitely there while playing this game but it also reminded me about the many deaths you will encounter. Good thing you have unlimited lives and don’t have to spend those quarters anymore. the game is good for a quick run through but after beating it, I haven’t played it since. My 4 stars are because of the retro value.

Childhood back to life
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Plain and simple this game is just about old school TMNT. Its a fun arcade port that brings back a lot of memories.

Awful
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This game would have been amazing. For some reason though any wireless controller I use has at LEAST a one second delay. Kind of hard to fight with that delay and impossible to NOT die considering most need an instant controller to game response.
