TMNT 2: "a step backward into a large chasm"

And for every Pokemon, there's a Ninja Turtle. But some of us may be lucky enough to remember when the turtles where the talk of the town. I mean c'mon, how incredible was that 1989 arcade beat-em-up and its (rather clumsy) NES iteration? Classic. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and for the turtles, the wave was a relatively short ride. Then, just last year, Konami resurrected the dead franchise because, well, it's cheap, easy, and kids don't have much of a memory span. So what about the game? Let me just say this, TMNT 2: Battle Nexus is in the running for worst game of the month, no, scratch that, worst game of the year! "Avoid it like the plague" (GameSpy). But listen, for any of you sucker enough to pick up this title, there's a wonderful little easter egg waiting for you at the finish… 1989, baby!
