    Even though the action is stiff, the animation poor and the controls occasionally not as responsive as I'd like, I'm able to overlook it simply because there aren't too many four-player co-op action games out there, let alone ones with platforming elements generously incorporated into the mix - but I'd never play it solo.

    The inclusion of a four-player mode is the only improvement over last years turtle offerings. If there had been more time spent tweaking the turtles fighting moves, working on the wacky controls, and focusing more on fun, this could have been an enjoyable experience.

    It's all good until you actually have to start using your martial arts skills. Then it's a lesson in frustration.

    Battle Nexus is more than just a step backward for this series--it's a step backward into a large chasm.

    Yes, this is as bad as the reviews indicate. I really thought they'd fix the problems of the original, but somehow there's more. On the plus side, there's cool cartoon clips in between the action. Great that the added 4 player support. Also I hear the Turtles arcade game is unlocked when you finish the game. That game was great, but I will never make it through to the end of the main game just on principle. So I won't get the cool bonus.… Expand

    Probably the worst game I have played in a long time. It has the elements of those electronic hand held games from the early 90s and the graphics to boot. Nothing other than extremly disappointed.… Expand
