Favorite 4kids game (3D)

*Icebot* · 02-13-2014, 08:37 PM

Out of the 3 TMNT 3D (Gamecube / Playstation 2 / X Box) games that were made based on the 4kids series, which one did you like best, the first game, TMNT 2: Battle Nexus or TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare?

*turtlefanforever* · 02-13-2014, 09:43 PM

But I was really into the first one.

*Redeemer* · 02-13-2014, 10:23 PM

I never got to finish the third one, but the first was definitely better, I didn't get to finish the third Mutant Nightmare,but I have to say it is probably the best and my favorite.

I say Battle Nexus. I was in love with the box art.

TMNT III mutant nightmare

I have the fondest memories of Battle Nexus. So that one.

Probably Battle nexus.

I actually found the Game Boy Advance games to be more entertaining than their console counterparts. I never got to play TMNT3 on the DS though.

Don't forget about PC version of TMNT and sequel

I've played in both of them and... It is quite hard for me to choose, but I've voted for the TMNT 2: Battle Nexus. First of all, it has much more user-friendly save-game system. In TMNT we have a couple of "big levels" and each of them contains a couple of "sub-levels". And the game is saved only after beating "big level", which is annoying hard especially at the end, when we have to fight with lots of "sub-bosses" and even "normal" bosses (Donatello has to defeat Baxter before fighting with Shredder). And in TMTN 2 there is plenty of short levels and the game is saved after beating every level. So, ending of this one was noticeable less "stressing" than the first one. Not to mention, that we have here plenty of interesting characters (especially Karai and Slaashur) and bigger variety of gameplay (although some "platform" sections were very hard, especially this one with lasers).

Nothing is perfect though - I've noticed that some of the turtles were almost useless in fight (I could play with comfort only while I was controlling Leo or Raph, Don had here strange types of attack, Mike were useful only because of his famous "nunchaku air-attack". As I've mentioned in another thread, I've never liked too much "cosmic issues" in TMNT, so the first "episodes" (when fighting with Triceratons and... I forgot the name of the second fraction) were quite boring for me. Fortunatly, after that it was much better

Pity, that they removed the versus mode - after ending the "campaign/story mode" in TMNT games I always have the desire to beat the turtle's shells with some "bad-one", (especially with Karai or Shredder), but well, no versus, no beating the turtles

And unfortunatly, the system of unlocking the characters were quite illogical - to unlock the truly useful "additional" characters (Karai and Slaashur) you've needed to beat the whole campaign and almost whole(Karai)/whole(Slaashur) "Nexus mode". So even if you've unlocked them, you could only use these characters to play in levels you've already ended. Casey and Splinter were easier to unlock, but in my opinion, they weren't too comfortable to play.

I like the first one cause it's so simplistic and fun, but I gotta go with TMNT 2. It's just overall better and with combo attacks, and I like that you share your health so when you get a health item you share them.

I always play 2 players or more.

PLUS YOU GET TO FIGHT MIYAMOTO USAGI HOW COOL IS THAT???

I must admit, that I'm a bit surprised. I've read many opinions (not to mention the reviews) where players were complaining about this issue with common health, some were even saying, that it makes coop in this game unplayable . I don't know how it works in practice though, because I've ended TMNT 2 alone (previous part of this "trilogy" too).

I've only played Battle Nexus all the way through and played a little bit of Mutant Nightmare. I love Battle Nexus but I imagine multi player would be unbearable if each player wasn't just as good as the other. Mutant Nightmare didn't make sense to me when I tried it when you play as Triceratons and April in boring shooting gallery levels. Please correct me if I'm remembering this wrong.
