This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus (Video Game)

I remember the olden days when my pals and I would go over to my best friend Blake's house to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on his Nintendo (he was richer than we were, and could thus afford something better than the old Game Boy). I had hoped that this game would be vaguely nostalgic and still back the memories of me as the Purple Guy whacking my stick at nothing in particular (my aim was off, okay?). It didn't.

This game was pretty bad. It was also strangely familiar. It seemed to me like a bad version of Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu. While that was an okay beat-em-up game, but that was because that was all it tried to be. This Ninja Turtles game tried to be more, and failed utterly. It lacked the driving focus that makes other games amusing.

Also, this game was weirdly difficult. I don't mean it was insanely difficult, I mean its difficulty level shot up to near impossible at times, but could sink to a walk through a ninja infested park. Part of this had to do with the fact that the turtles' abilities were not evenly balanced. Whereas the Purple Guy could not swing his stick to save his miserable life, the Orange Guy was so ridiculously strong that villains that struck fear in every other turtle's heart made him laugh. I'm serious. The Orange Guy was the guy cracking stupid jokes all the time. Why on earth was he granted such power?

But hey, everyone points out those flaws. Here are some other things that I noticed. There are two kinds of cut scenes. Some are stolen right from the cartoon, which is not exactly the peak of animation. But, because the TV show doesn't burn through every plot element that the game does, new cut scene animations were provided, and they're bad. Speed Racer bad.

The in game animation is not much better. The turtles only have about two combos apiece, and they suck. Also, the so-called "individual special abilities" that the turtles posses rarely come into play. And when they do, you don't necessarily have to switch from one turtle to another; sometimes there's always another way, a simpler way, around the obstacle. Of course, any game that asks you to do stuff necessary to completing the level without explaining how to do them can't be all good.

This was not the worst thing I've ever played; this game was tolerable I guess. It was just that there was no reason to keep going. So, although an unlockable of this game was the arcade game, I never got to level nine to find it. I just couldn't keep playing. It was just too stupid. This game was in serious need of a "hari-kiri" button.

I can't really rate this game as I had to return it. It was a Christmas gift for my grandson and when I ordered it, I ordered the Xbox when I needed the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, they do not make this game for Xbox 360.
