TMNT is the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game based on the CGI animated movie TMNT that will be released in theaters the same week. The game’s story follows the movie, in which the turtles have grown apart after defeating Shredder in the first live-action movie. A tech-industrialist named Max Winters has been wrongfully fired from his job and pursues a new career in world domination—amassing an army of evil creatures and the Foot Clan.
Aspects of the game play like Ubisoft’s recent Prince of Persia series of adventure games. The turtles are acrobatic with the abilities to run on walls, hang from ledges, and swing on poles. Each character also has unique abilities: Michelangelo can use his nunchucks for some helicopter hover action and Donatello can use his bo to pole vault over obstacles.
You play as one turtle but can switch between turtles anytime. You can also do combo moves in which you call the help of other turtles, such as performing a long jump or special attack. The combat is fairly simple, with two buttons for attacking, one for jumping, and one for blocking. You can chain together combos, which are important because you are always outnumbered. The game offers replay value through replaying levels to unlock new features.
