In this segment, the video reviews the 2006 Tech to Go game release “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle for the City,” detailing gameplay and elements. Players help the turtles save Master Splinter through four levels filled with iconic villains and obstacles like trash, traps, and lasers. The game is based on the 2003 TMNT series, and the controller features a turtle shell design with functional buttons that allow special attacks without draining health. Each level requires finding five keys to progress, and players can choose and swap between turtles. The turtles have unique abilities like wall climbing and using environmental objects to navigate. Two play modes are mentioned, with more focus on the story mode.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the game modes and difficulty levels of a Ninja Turtles game, including “story mode” which uses comic book style panels to set the story before each level, and “time challenge” mode where players complete a single stage as quickly as possible. The main differences between normal and hard mode are the increased damage from enemies, extra hits required to kill them, and reduced health replenishment. The four bosses include giant Mausers, Hun, foot fire Mystics, and Shredder with elite guards. The game offers a variety of sound effects, animations, and character designs. Despite its brevity, the game avoids repetitive content. There are issues with the difficulty balance and control mechanics, and an additional level of difficulty would improve the experience.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the challenges of playing a game using the claw style, which is uncomfortable and not user-friendly. They mention avoiding ninja attacks, even though they are a favorite part of the game, due to the difficulty in execution. The official version of the game is hard to find and potentially offers a subpar experience due to poor control pad design that leads to imprecise movements and accidental actions, such as dropping to platforms unintentionally. The speaker suggests changes like relocating buttons and adding a combined attack button to improve playability. They also recommend other Konami-developed games from the same era that are more accessible and enjoyable. The video segment concludes with a teaser for the next review on “Pirates of the Caribbean: Islands of Fortune.”
