"The entire game just feels very slick and polished. It is clear that the developers had fun making this game and you will have fun playing it because like JJ from "Good Times" would’ve said, this game is DYNAMITE! Alright alright that’s it for the puns. "

hahaha

Fantastic Summer of Arcade. I bought Splosion Man, Shadow Complex, Trials HD and I'm holding out for an XBLA Deal of the Week to get Marvel Vs Capcom 2.

[darthv72]

I just got shadow complex the other day and bought tmnt when it came out. Both are great games. Not sure why all the hate for tmnt because I think it is fun. Much like the arcade but prettier. Would have been cool if the original version was unlockable. My son and I really like playing it more so than the original TMNT on xbla (still fun too).

Shadow complex is sweet but one thing annoys me. Why they didnt allow for minor movement in 3D. Having to jump over stuff instead of walking around it or moving towards/away from the screen into other rooms. That would have been really cool to do. Minor stuff like that.

Overall I really like SC and TMNT and will be getting splosion man as well. Trials is nice but can get frustrating fast with having to have the right angle on your jumps/landings.

No need for MvC2 as I still play the DC original (yeah, I know there isnt any online multiplayer but it is the original release).

[AridSpider]

was hands down the best part of this event

[JasonXE]

Splosion Man is pretty nice too. I hope there are Shadow Complex sequels becuase it was too short.

[Blaze929]

and TMNT would have to be the worst part of this event. man that game fails so much.

I liked Splosion man and Shadow Complex the best

[tokoshix]

I'm very interested in Splosion Man.

[The Meerkat]

Shadow Complex was great but its Trails HD that keeps me coming back for more controller smashing frustration.

Having to shave 0.002 seconds has never been so much fun.

[Blaze929]

The trail of Trials HD was ok to me but I just didnt see myself playing it alot so didnt choose to buy that one.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Shadow Complex, Marvel Vs Capcom, and Battlefield 1943 are great games to own but don't forget about Serious Sam HD comming soon :)

"and TMNT would have to be the worst part of this event. man that game fails so much."

I love it, it's the only arcade game I bought out of the deal the other ones were pretty lame.

[CarlosX360]

...TMNT really that bad? Damn I need to buy that to see for myself.

[-MD-]

I believe TMNT is one of the best if not THE best arcade titles available.

[Jayfatyboombaty]

perfect dark will be better

[Blaze929]

If Shadow Complex is the best XBLA arcade title released to date, Perfect Dark will easily top that.

[ProA007]

definitely

[FG]

Perfect Dark will totally beat Shadow Complex

[Blaze929]

yeah just hope its still good cuz you know...rare has been...ehh

[Liquid Ocelot]

Just proves that Xbox live is far superior to Psn poor Ps3 fans they never get anything good LOL!!!! that's what they get for supporting $ony.

Edit@below: Put a sock in it $ony fanboy.

[StanLee]

You're a douche.

Edit: Least likely person to be called a Sony fanboy and you're an even bigger douche for thinking someone who doesn't agree with your asinine rant is a Sony fanboy.

[FlipMode]

He isn't a sony fanboy he just thinks your a douche like I do for bringing up psn

Insecurity perhaps?

[danofpaco]

I only own a 360, but you're comment is uncalled for. This thread has nothing to do with the PS3. Aren't you sick of the same old fanboy war every day?

We're all gamers, why the hate?

[ironmonkey]

funny you have mgs4 picture but you hate ps3? lol your lost in your own world bud wake up its time to go to school

[Poopface the 2nd]

I dont know what people expected from TMNT 4. I have the SNES version and it took me and a friend only 22 min of game time to beat it. They should have kept the old grafix so people would know it was an old azz game.

[danofpaco]

Having so much fun with Shadow Complex, on 2nd playthrough. On hardcore, took me about 11 hours first playthrough. Then went and collected the 2 items I missed for the 100% achievement. Now playing through on normal to get the 13% achievement. It's just old school genuine fun to play.
