Alright. I know this didnt go over well with most fans, but honestly, I didnt think it was that bad. Its not great, but on sale, sure, give it a shot.

First. This is not a reboot. It is technically a sequel as the game is self-aware that the Toads havent had a game in like 26 years. The vibe and tone of the game is a PG-13 Saturday morning cartoon. Different than the gross-out 90s edge humor the series started with, but there are moments where it was actually pretty funny. If anything, the cutscenes are fun.

As for the gameplay, it is kinda close to the original game. Beat em up sections broken up by gameplay sequences that have nothing to do with beat em ups. The NES game had the rappelling, air bikes, snake riding, and monowheel. This had its fair share of Not Beat Em Up minigames. I do think they lasted a bit longer than they should have, but it is what it is.

This wasnt the Battletoads update everyone wanted, but to be completely honest, the Toads' games were never super amazing to begin with. They were style over substance and were way too hard for their own good. Play this and just go along for the ride. If they make a sequel to this I hope they focus on the combat like the arcade game rather than the minigame shenanigans.

Pick this up on sale.
