Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a 2003 hack and slash/beat 'em up video game made by Konami.
Four mutant turtles trained in ninjutsu by their rat sensei Splinter fight crime in the sewers and streets of New York City. This beat 'em up adaptation of the 2003 animated series lets players pick Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, or Raphael, each with their own set of levels drawn from early season one episodes. The game captures the show's darker, more serious tone, with a two-player story mode and a versus mode that opens up additional fighters including Splinter himself.
