TMNT 2 Battle Nexus - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus is a video game based mostly on the second season of the 2003 animated TMNT series. It features levels based on the episodes: Search for Splinter (Parts 1 and 2), Turtles in Space (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), Secret Origins (Parts 1, 2 and 3), The Ultimate Ninja, What a Croc!, Return to Underground, City at War (Parts 1, 2, and 3) and Rogue in the House (Parts 1 and 2). The game also has 4 tournaments consisting of waves of enemy attacks. The fourth, Battle Nexus Tournament, is based on the four part episode The Big Brawl.
Unlike
the 2003 TMNT game, Battle Nexus supports up to four players. Each
player may select a "team" that consists of a turtle and an unlockable
character that can replace the turtle. Four teams are present in the
game, if less than four players are playing, one player may select more
teams and cycle through them in the game.
Each
team has their own specific abilities that can help players progress
through the game. Blue Team can attack while dashing, and cut through
certain obstacles (gates, trees, bamboo, etc.). Red Team can lift
and push certain heavy objects. Orange team can reflect arrows with
their guard (and Michelangelo can fly with his nunchucks). Purple team
can utilize computer consoles (and Donatello can fire a laser instead of throwing shuriken).
Unlike
the previous game, players share one health bar so if one player gets
hurt, the health decreases for all off them. Characters have "weak" and
"strong" attacks and they do different moves with different combinations. To beat the level, you must either get to the designated point of the level, kill all enemies, kill the boss,
survive until the time runs out or do the specific goal until the time
runs out. Side goals are to collect artifacts that are usually in hidden
or hard to reach places and to collect crystal pieces that increase
your attack, defense, charge attack and shuriken throwing ("flying")
abilities.
