Development

The game was announced by Activision on September 4, 2014. [7] It was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 28, 2014, while the Nintendo 3DS version was later released on November 11, 2014, in order to better adapt the graphics. Due to sound limitations, the music on the 3DS version is less synthesized compared to the console versions.

Reception

The game was given generally mixed reviews by critics and fans, though they were still more positive compared to its predecessor. IGN gave it a 5/10 score, calling it "generic and lifeless", but praising the solid, although rudimentary, level design and the exploration elements. [4] Games Asylum gave the game a positive 6/10, praising the gameplay style and fan service, even though it was made on a distinctly limited budget, and considering it an evolvement over the previous Activision-made TMNT games.
