By itself, The Hyperstone Heist is considered a good adaptation of the TMNT show into game form. When compared to Turtles in Time, The Hyperstone Heist features fewer but longer levels, has less special effects, louder and somewhat raspy digitized voices and loud sound effects. Thanks to the superior color palette of the SNES, Turtles in Time looks brighter and more colorful and uses special zooming effects in some areas and with some moves, but the Genesis includes more background layers, faster and clearer animation frames and overall faster gameplay. Both games share nearly the same soundtrack and sound effects, but the songs play faster in The Hyperstone Heist. Though there are fewer than half the levels in the Genesis game compared to the SNES game, each level is longer. Furthermore, The Hyperstone Heist is arguably more difficult, thanks to a more aggressive enemy AI and faster-moving characters.
Screwattack named it the 19th best Genesis game ever in their top 20 list, although they dismissed it as a direct clone of Turtles in Time, which they consider to be the best beat'em up ever.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or response:
“From whichever angle one looks at it, the application of racial theories remains a striking proof of the lowered demands of public opinion upon the purity of critical judgment.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“[In response to this question from an interviewer: “U. S. News and World Report described you this way: ‘She’s intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. She’s bright, articulate, passionate and kind.’ Is that an accurate description?”:]
It’s ... pretty good [ellipsis in original].”
—Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)
