From audio, visuals and the characters included – not to mention the excellent writing – it seems that they really have gone to the Nth degree to ensure that, 2.5D perspective aside, it really feels like an episode of the cartoon.
If you’re already familiar with – and enjoy – the Nickelodeon series that Danger of the Ooze is based on, you’ll appreciate all of the effort WayForward have gone to in order to ensure that the game has a very authentic feel to the source material. You take control of one turtle at a time (and you can switch between them unless they’ve lost their health – in which case you have to find the room they’re being ‘held’ in, in order for them to rejoin your team) across a nicely sized 2.5D city map, structured like a classic Metroidvania title. An unusual, somewhat unexpected approach is taken here – though when you see that it was developed by WayForward, perhaps it shouldn’t have been unexpected at all. There were a few games based on that specific incarnation of TMNT Danger of the Ooze is one of them. The theme tune was one that grew on me I wasn’t keen at first, but it’s definitely stood the test of time – so far – in my opinion. The CG-animated style has a unique look and feel – and the voice acting was excellent. As I’ve covered extensively elsewhere on the blog, I’ve always been a massive fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (and this year is their 35 th Anniversary – shouldn’t they be Middle-Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles by now?) I really enjoyed the 2012 Nickelodeon reboot the changes to established lore were made in service of bringing a number of previously disparate elements together and were well implemented, in my opinion.
