Question!

[Peanut]

I haven't played any of the new TMNT games since the first, so a quick question. Which of the last 2 were better? 2 or 3? I'm planning on going out in a little bit and buying one of them to pass some time with JameO and I'd like some insight from you guys. If anyone could give me a quick answer I'd really appreciate it.

Edit: Another thing, what about unlockables? I know the 1st had Casey and Splinter as characters and stuff, but what about the other two? I'm pretty sure I've seen stuff about unlockable characters for 2, but not 3. I know both include an old TMNT game as well.

2 has Casey, Splinter, Karai and Slashuur as unlockable playable characters. It includes the Arcade Game too :)

Well, there is

TMNT 2: Battle Nexus

TMNT: Mutant Melee

TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare


I'd have to say the first TMNT is the best, but TMNT 2 is certainly the better out of the listed 3.

While TMNT 2: Battle Nexus was a marked improvement over the first Ninja Turtles game (which was absolutely atrocious), TMNT: Mutant Nightmare wins the award for the best TMNT game for the current-gen consoles. Make no mistake about it, though; like all other recent Turtles games, it isn't without its flaws.

My biggest disappointment was the utterly offensive port of the classic Turtles in Time, which was rife with horrid new music and voices...Ugh. A total disgrace. Still, the actual game itself is very cool, with varied enemies, cool levels and plenty of new modes and boss battles to keep you busy. Mutant Nightmare, definitely. :)
