I’ll cut to the chase on this one. TMNT Smash Up is a multiplayer game that will be coming to the Wii and was one of the biggest disappointments of the show. I played it for about 15 minutes and was shocked at how much of a Smash Bros. Brawl clone it turned out to be. It has the same gameplay style as the Smash Bros. game without the power ups. I think the addition of some over the top power-ups and items would help make the game more interesting. The fighting itself consisted of throw/slams, kicks, and slashes. TMNT fans may enjoy the game but from my time with the game it came off as a shallow button masher.
