Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade is a conversion of the 1989 Arcade machine hit, in the game you control one of the four Turtles, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello or Raphael, and you have to battle through several scrolling levels of Foot soldiers and other recognisable baddies from the TMNT cartoons such as Rocksteady and Bebop, Krang and Shredder etc.

Gameplay wise it's classic hack and slash gameplay on offer here, and if you've ever played the original game (and who hasn't?) you'll feel right at home playing this.

As well as the fighting, this game, like all the other Xbox Live Arcade titles has varying achievements to unlock, which vary from easy to win, to quite hard at times.

Graphically the game is very retro oriented, but let's face it it's an 18 year old game, but the playability is so good and has that elusive "just one more go" factor so you can try and get all the achievements that the old style graphics don't bother you.

Overall if you've got 400 gamer points going spare, you have to buy this! And if you've got no poinrs left, buy some from the Marketplace for it.

Final score: 85%
