I stayed away from the first game due to the harsh reviews it was getting, but it seems that the developers are now fixing the mistakes they made with the first game (or at least they've figured out a way of adding a four-player mode this time).

I have been avoiding looking at this game based on the ho-hum first game, but your subtitle mentioning four-player mode has me interested.

If that's in it, and the damn turtles learn to STFU this time, this should be a fun rental or cheaper purchase for the multiplayer.

Yeah, the thought of all 4 Turtles saying the same catchphrases over and over makes me weary.

As bad as the last game was, why the fuck would they think I'd be willing to buy another?

The only way they'll sell this to me is if they include the two arcade games in it.

The first one is not so great, so I'm leery of part 2. TMNT3D 1 suffers a major case of Gex Repetitive Voice Syndrome so bad it ruins the game. If I have to hear that damned "Slice & Dice!!!!" one more time, I'll go Heidern on someone.

How does a TMNT Tournament Fighters 2004 sound? I'd go for that.

From a press release:

LOS ANGELES - Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) Booth #800 - May 12, 2004 - Leading video game publisher, Konami Digital Entertainment - America, a division of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ 2 (TMNT 2) will ship in October 2004. Developed for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, Nintendo Game Boy® Advance and PC CD-ROM, TMNT 2 features an-all new experience in the form of four-player cooperative play - a trademark of the legendary arcade games and a first for the next-generation franchise.

"The incredible appeal and popularity of the Ninja Turtles transcends generations, thanks to the current re-launch of the franchise and the mass appeal of the original series," said Erica Mason, product manager, Konami Digital Entertainment - America. "With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, our team has been able to create a hugely entertaining game that recreates the excitement of the renowned series through four-player cooperative gameplay which will excite both younger and older fans of the beloved franchise."

Featuring a non-linear story structure requiring more skill based play, TMNT 2 is guaranteed to offer gamers a varied and exciting gameplay experience. Complete with voice-overs from the popular TMNT animated TV series on the FoxBox, TMNT 2 allows gamers to play as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, each with distinct characteristics and abilities. Players will need to kick, punch and slice their way past Foot Ninjas and the turtles' archenemy, The Shredder, in two exciting game modes - Story and Battle Nexus. The four-player cooperative Story Mode is based on the FoxBox's TMNT Season 2, with individual player's performance and selection affecting the story line. The Battle Nexus Mode offers slick head-to-head action. Additionally, as an added bonus for older, more nostalgic fans, the console versions provide the ability to unlock one of the classic TMNT arcade-games.
