Read a review of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trading card game from Upper Deck and see what these cartoon heroes are like in TCG form!

Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo are ready to kick butt - ninja style! But, it's not the legendary artists, it's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They have their very own trading card game from Konami that lets you control them, Shredder, Casey Jones, Splinter and more as you battle. We have the scoop on the game, and a review, right here.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TCG - Ninja Training

If you were raised by a rat, you'd know how to be a ninja. But, since you have normal 'rents, here's how to get your ninja moves going on. The game is basically two dudes swapping shots. On your turn you power up your attack by playing cards while your opponent powers up their defense. Then, you let 'em have it and any damage you cause knocks cards out of their deck. The first player to run out of cards is toast.

Mutant Mania With the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Fans of the turtles will get to see the ninja team in a totally different style with the artwork on the cards. They look hard-core and gritty, not like the goofy pizza-munchin' dudes from the cartoon series.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TCG Gets Shredded!

If you're looking to master the ABCs of lame, it's too late - this game beat you to it. The game is seriously lacking in fun. The cool dudes from the TV show barely feel like they're there, it's confusing to learn and the art is way weird.

Mutant Ninja Showdown Final Result

The heroes on a half-shell kick it in the cartoon, but the card game doesn't have the coolness of the show, or the fun factor. The art is good, but it's way different from the show. These dudes live in the sewer and that's where this card game should stay.

Solid ninja turtle artwork.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thumbs Down:

The action is weak.

It's way different from the cartoon.
