The Turtles are back, but Vanilla Ice isn’t. That’s probably for the best, to be honest. Anyway, to complement the new CGI-heavy Turtles film that’s out this year, Ubisoft is resurrecting the pizza-eating dudes.
Apparently the new film is a bit darker and edgier than previous Turtles fare (harking back to the original comics and role-playing game) and the game will reflect that. While we’ve yet to see just how “dark” and “edgy” this’ll be, the way the game plays seems, so far, to be a little similar to Konami’s recent TMNT games (Battle Nexus and Mutant Melee).
You can play as each of the four turtles, and each has his own weapons and combat expertise. The Turtles will also be able to team up for extra combat fun, and so far the game appears to be a fisticuff-heavy whirl through hordes of enemies. Interestingly, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles uses Prince of Persia’s Jade engine – so not only does the game look sweeter than a Bush Baby sucking a lollipop while fluttering its eyelashes, we’re expecting some hardcore, death-defying acrobatics.
Ubisoft says the Turtles will be able to leap from rooftop to rooftop, scale tall buildings and dive into sewers (sounds charming), so let’s hope there’s plenty of acrobatic awe to offset the constant fighting – the Konami games ended up being a bit repetitive in the long term. As of now, it’s all looking quite promising.
