I was at the same time impressed and disappointed in this title. In Teen Titans you got to flip between any of the Titans at will. It was a really cool idea that let you pick the best character for a certain battle. However, you had few moves per character and they healed so quickly when not in use, the game was extremely easy.

That's all gone here. Replacing it are specialized levels for each Titan. You are given far more fleshed out powers than before, but gone is the freedom of using those powers anywhere. You're also forced into several "leap of faith" situations where you have to memorize platform locations. The game will probably take you longer to finish, but mostly because you'll be forced to replay levels again and again.

The biggest tragedy is that Beastboy goes from being able to fly as a bird to being forced to climb as a monkey. His levels were by far the most annoying, made more so because he should be able to fly. He's weak and nearly worthless this time around. Guess which character you use for the final battle? Starfire suffers a related problem. She's powerful, but for several levels can only fly forward. The screen moves forward and you along with it. There was no logical reason for this other than to make it more difficult in a cheap way and it gets annoying very quickly.

It's too bad the game was done in this way. Had they improved the moves and retained the original ability to change characters at will, this would be a truly great game. As it stands, it's still pretty good. Raven alone is worth the price of admission. Here powers are incredible.
