Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare

Released2005
TMNT3 puts more of a focus on teamwork, character development and control than any other console Turtles game to date. Gamers can play as their favorite Turtle alone or with up to three friends, earning experience points along the way as they slash and bash Foot Ninjas and powerful, well-known bosses from the TMNT universe. These experience points allow players to improve and evolve their Turtles' traits and abilities for more varied, powerful attacks and moves. The Ninja Scroll System is another new feature on TMMT3. Being able to select which ninja scrolls to use allows the Turtles to use various special abilities strategically. Cooperative play lies at the heart of TMNT3 and gamers who team up with friends for multiplayer action are rewarded with exclusive features such as Cooperative Attack for even more shell shocking damage to enemies. The effect of this attack changes depending on the number of players working together (between 2-4 players). For even greater control, TMNT3 features a new combat system called the Target Attack system that lets gamers play more instinctively and strategically. With the Target Attack system, players will be able to lock onto specific enemies and block, dodge or counter attack accordingly for smoother and more maneuverable combat. Story Mode can be played with 1-4 players. Even when you have less than 4 players to play, the other Turtles will be at your side, controlled through AI. All the Turtles can participate in Cooperative Attack to beat enemies and players can give commands to the AI.

About This Game

Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello face threats across three narrative episodes and a bonus Nightmare chapter. Episode One sends the turtles to New York City to repel a Triceraton invasion, rescuing friends Casey Jones and April O'Neil with aid from Professor Honeycutt—the Fugitoid—before dismantling Triceraton commander Zaranmon's war robot. Episode Two pits the brothers against swarms of Mousers deployed by Baxter Stockman, protecting a captured Master Splinter through high-speed hovercraft chases and battles against Bishop. Episode Three sees the Foot Clan fall one by one—Hun, Karai, and ultimately Oroku Saki in his empowered Mega Shredder form—culminating in a tribunal before the Utrom council that exiles Shredder's controller Scherel to a frozen world. The Nightmare chapter then gives each turtle their own dream gauntlet, unlocking Ultimate Turtle forms via gembu scrolls collected in Free Battle mode and leading to a final confrontation with Ultimate Drako.
