TMNT: Shredders Revenge DLC update: Dimension Shellshock

Just when you thought TMNT couldn't get any more fun. 8/31 marked the release of the Dimension Shellshock DLC of TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. Is it worth it?

Big yes! The download adds Karai and Usagi Yojimbo as new playable characters. The new storyline is found in the "Survival" mode; you can still use the new characters in the previous modes as well. This mode can be overwhelming at times and it is definitely loads of fun playing it with people online though your experience may vary by people who aren't too familiar with the game. Sometimes if that was the case, it was better that you played on your own. 

So far I've only tested Karai. She is slow on foot but makes up with her bizarre and devastating supers. Also new skins are added to previous characters as well though some need to be unlocked while playing and earning rewards in survival mode. 

*Update 9/4* I tried out Usagi and he is a powerhouse with his regular combo attacks. He is also the only character to also perform an ground attack like combo in the air, so you can mix up his ground combo > pop up> air attack combo for some deadly results. This will prove to be useful especially against the new breed of enemies in survival mode. The only drawback I feel is his air super which is a vertical attack when every other character is an angled attack; basically the opponent needs to right underneath him while he is airborne. Though it can cause some pretty devastating damage, you can surely mess up when you are so used to jumping towards the opponent. With this mindset, you end up stopping short in front of the opponent. So remember to use this while you are directly right above your opponent. As a result, this is the only air super I hardly use. 

Type and search for this new DLC on Youtube for more visual information. 

Anyways, still waiting to do the next TF review. I think I'm just losing interest at the moment.
