You might want to look at some reviews. OPM gave it a 1 out of 5, saying that while the first game was flawed, the second one is unplayable.

"It amazes me. Last year's return of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was perfectly playable, but three big problems - no four-player support, repetitive voices, and obscene difficulty - turned it into a disappointing annoyance. Konami has fixed these complaints for the sequel. You can even unlock the original arcade classic by playing through it. Yet Battle Nexus is so bad that even die-hard TMNT fans (e.g., me) will question the pain is worth it
"No, you're not restricted to two-player action - Nexus offers Multitap compatibility. Only thig is, everything is way zoomed out to accommodate it, and the resulting gameplay is a complete mess. With four players or one, the view is equally horrible as you hack away to the point of boredom. Worse, you have to stay close to everyone else if you want any chance of actually seeing the attacking Foot and triceratons.
"Leonardo no longer repeats 'slice and dice' every time you hit Square, but he's harder to control. Annoying jumping puzzles only exacerbate matters - especially the ones that try to be Ninja Gaiden and have you jumping from wall to wall. Even so, Nexus isn't obscenely difficult. In fact, it's too easy. Tons of stages exist, but few take more than five minutes to complete. Boring.
"The original arcade TMNT may reward your perserverance - but it's not worth the pain. And that says a lot." -Chris Baker

In other words, don't be all "OMG TURTLES I MUST BUY IT!". Just rent the thing and decide if it's worth the money, because it sounds pretty bad.
