[edit] Story
Tired of the Titans defeating him, Brother Blood decides to make clones of them to do his bidding. The Titans must hunt down his students and get their DNA back.
[edit] Heroes
Each of the five members of the main team are playable:
Robin is the leader of the Teen Titans. He is the best close range fighter, and lacks effective long range attacks. He has a special ability to use computers to open doors.
Raven is the resident psychic/empathic member of the team. By nature of her powers, she is mostly a long range fighter. In particular, her telekinetic attack is the most powerful move in the game. She has a special ability to generate a shield for self defense, or passing through hazardous obstacles.
Beast Boy is the most agile member of the Titans. However he has a poor attack range, and has arguably less effective melee attacks than Robin. He has a special ability to shape-shift into a hawk, which can fit into smaller spaces, and allows for flight.
Starfire is arguably the most well-rounded character in the game overall. She has effective long-range projectile attacks, and equally adequate melee attacks. Her projectile attacks can short out power couplings, thus opening various doors for her.
Cyborg has equally effective long and short ranged attacks. He displays poor agility compared to the other characters. He's the only member with a downward attack, which is most useful for discovering new areas to explore.
[edit] Enemies
Some enemies come in multiple colors, in which they'll take the most damage from the Titan of the matching color:
Spider Drones are disintegrated from any form of attack, although the most common attack against spider drones is stomping.
Flying Drones come in three varieties: grey, flashing, and red. While the grey ones can be destroyed at close range, the flashing and red ones explode upon contact.
H.I.V.E. Thugs come in different forms. Some of them will attack at close range, with several wearing heavier armors. Others will fire guns at the player either on foot or with jet-packs.
Titan Clones act as mini-bosses throughout the game. At the beginning of the game, the DNA of the Teen Titan's DNA is exploited by Gizmo to create these enemies. They have extremely similar powers and moves to those of the real Titans.
[edit] Bosses
There are four bosses in the game. The first three bosses return together in the fifth stage.
Gizmo has two phases. The first phase consists of long-range attacks while flying and holograms to confuse the player. His second phase includes color-coordinated shields to protect him while throwing bombs.
Jinx can send out curses in the form of energy bolts, which will reverse the player's controlling directions upon contact. She can also absorb health points from the player into her own. By firing an energy beam upward, she can cause several ceiling plates to fall randomly.
Mammoth attacks by punching the ground to send shockwaves, followed by hurling the boxes behind him. With Mammoth, there will be strong wind trying to push the player off the stage. He can only be hurt when stunned by his own attack.
Brother Blood is the final boss of the game. His attacks include psychic shockwaves, dashing attacks, energy sword, and paralyzing portals. The shockwaves will leave behind hazardous embers randomly, while the portals will stun the player's movement temporarily, enabling him to teleport to and slash at the player. In melee combat, he does not use his sword a lot; instead, he usually dashes toward the player in most circumstances.
[edit] Consoles
The second Teen Titans video game was for the Nintendo GameCube, Playstation 2, and Xbox. It also features the five main Titans from the animated series. The bosses include Plasmus, Mumbo, Jinx, Gizmo, Mammoth, Cinderblock, Overload, Ternion, and Slade.
[edit] Story
The Titans receive a video game in the mail, one that is starring them. When Cyborg and Beast Boy try to play it, they all get placed in the video game's world. They go through various levels as they try to figure out how to return home.
After the Titans fight off most of the villains, Slade reveals himself, making Robin suspect that he sent the video game to them. However, once the Titans catch Slade, they find that he's a program like everything else. The Master of Games then reveals himself as the mastermind behind all the bosses, but, after the Titans capture him, they find that he did not trap them in his world. In the end, the player is the "villain".
