Several issues kept the last game from succeeding. The first (and most important) reason was that it simply lacked the kind of fun expected from a title featuring mutated turtles with deadly weaponry.

The AI needed an overhaul và each màn chơi suffered from an abysmal lack of variety. Aesthetically, Teenage Mutant ninja Turtles did an ok job transplanting the look of the new television show, but alone that just wasn't enough. The latest turtle outing from Konami, Teenage Mutant nin-ja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus, improves the formula somewhat. Lượt thích the first title though, it suffers from dumb enemies, bland game play and shoddy control. Although, Battle Nexus does in fact try lớn shake things up in a number of ways. First, it lets you swap characters on the fly, with each turtle claiming a unique ability. Second, you can now play the main chiến dịch through four player co-op, up from only two players in the last game. Third, Battle Nexus features collectible artifacts and includes the classic Teenage Mutant ninja Turtles arcade game. First, we'll dissect the on-the-fly character swapping.

Initially, this sounded like a groovy addition. After all, each turtle possesses his own chất lượng personality and abilities in the show, so why not in a game? While Battle Nexus makes use of the feature, it feels rather shallow most of the time. Donatello, the smartest of the bunch, operates computer consoles và switches, letting him disable security lasers and xuất hiện doors. Và that's all he does. Donatello could have had far cooler abilities, such as the ability to gian lận into và control robotic enemies, for one. And where are all those cool gadgets he invented in the show? The other turtles claim equally handy, yet altogether disappointing, abilities and talents. Leonardo uses his Katanas khổng lồ slice through certain barriers và Raphael's intrinsic rage helps him move heavy boxes and crates. The trò chơi affords you plenty of opportunities khổng lồ use each power, but each is a simple matter of calling Donatello khổng lồ flip a switch or Raphael to move a box. Nothing terribly exciting, but it works well enough. A roster of unique abilities per character would have been cooler. Not to lớn mention more strategic ways to lớn use them khổng lồ solve challenges in the game. In addition khổng lồ different abilities, each turtle boasts unique attacks. As stated in earlier coverage, each turtle features a basic mix of moves. Each has two primary attacks: light & strong. The strong attack causes heavy damage but is slow, where the light attack delivers two consecutive blows that don't deliver much damage. Each turtle also performs one aerial attack and one charge attack. Raphael's charge attack unleashes a ring of fire called "Turtle Flame" while Leonardo emits a short-distance projectile called "Turtle Slash." Michelangelo throws a long-distance energy ball called "Turtle Blast." Each turtle also comes with a dash maneuver và a stack of shuriken to throw at enemies. Aerial attacks cause less than damage than charge attacks, but there's less chance the attack will be interrupted since you'll be delivering the blow from above.

Raphael's aerial move causes him to dive toward enemies while spinning and Donatello bashes his foes from above with his staff, lớn name a few of the moves. For some odd reason, you can't throw shuriken while jumping, so killing bats và other airborne foes is a pain. Using Michelangelo's mid-air attack works just fine, but you're out of luck if you're stuck with any of the other turtles. While you can play the story mode in single player mode, the real hook is the new four-player co-op mode. Each player chooses a character (or two players chooses two characters) and heads into the game. While it is in fact a bit more enjoyable playing with friends, the trò chơi in itself doesn't change khổng lồ accommodate the increase in players. All of the puzzles play out exactly the same way, requiring only one player khổng lồ perform a specific task. And the enemies remain as inebriated as ever, simply waiting around for you to put them out of their misery. Battle Nexus includes several racing sequences, where you'll ride boards over snow and various other terrain. These can be mildly entertaining when played with friends. Too bad the racing sequences control as badly as the rest of the game. After you've fallen into a pit or missed a jump the tenth time due khổng lồ unresponsive controls, there's a good chance your friends will abandon you, leaving you khổng lồ weep all by yourself, controller in hand. One of the biggest concerns in the first turtle trò chơi was control. It hasn't been improved in Battle Nexus. A slight pause still precedes every jump, forcing you to lớn miss critical jumps during platform puzzles. You also can't block fast enough lớn avoid damage in some situations, especially after performing a combo. The double-jump also feels a little wonky, forcing you lớn fall into bottomless pits quite often when jumping from platform khổng lồ platform. Enemy AI in Battle Nexus still lacks intelligence. Foot soldiers & guards often turn their backs to lớn you, providing many opportunities khổng lồ slice them dead. You'll also encounter enemies that stun you with every hit, leaving you open to attack. Now, you may argue that it's all a question of skill và that a good player can avoid damage altogether. But that's not really the case here. Factor in the unresponsive controls & the fact that you'll often face three or more of these "stun" enemies simultaneously, & you have the ingredients for one frustrating game experience. lớn its credit, Battle Nexus includes various extras. The first và coolest of which is the inclusion of the classic turtles arcade game. It's a perfect port, so expect a trip down memory lane when booting this sucker up. As in the first game, you can also unlock various characters such as Casey Jones và Master Splinter, but now you can also find artifacts strewn about each level that you can take to April O'Neil's siêu thị named 2nd Time Around. Once at the shop, you can look up information on whatever you've collected. You can find suits of armor, weapons và other ninja-centric paraphernalia.
