So TMNT: Smash Up is actually wading into familiar territory as it takes the turtles license and combines it, for the second time, with a fighting game. The first attempt, Tournament Fighters on the SNES, was incredibly flawed and drew from some lesser known source material including characters invented for the game. Sadly, Smash Up uses that same approach and a golden opportunity is missed to harvest from the rose-coloured memories of the grown up fans."
