Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash Up (Wii)
Review by Ben Jacobs, aged 12
TURTLE-Y terrific...
My dad tells me the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were around when he was young so they must be old.
I think the 'heroes in a half-shell' are great and this game is action all the way as you fight your friends or the computer using your ninja skills.
The game is very similar to Super Smash Bros Brawl and uses that idea of four players battling it out in different arenas.
The turtles are great characters as are the bad guys and the rat Master Splinter. They all have some superb moves and getting the best out of the characters is a big challenge.
Fighting your friends and family is hilarious and you will probably hate losing as much as I did!
Fighting can be quite tricky and you need to jump and block just as much as you need to attack.
The graphics are good, the characters are funny but I think where the game is best is just because it is so entertaining.
You can play online against other people, this is a nice idea.
Cowabunga dudes!

In fact he is probably far too old for it now which is why you will see a lot of reviews been done by kids... He has been nominated three times for Regional Games Journalist Of The Year at the Games Media Awards, but never wins.
