Devopment and Production
Edit
Ubisoft, who recently acquired the TMNT video game license, alone has developed and produced this game.
Plot Summary
Edit
After having defeated their prior arch-nemesis, the Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart as a family. Leonardo had traveled to Central America to improve his ability as a martial artist, and as a disciplined leader. He also obtains a mysterious medallion.
In Leonardo's absence, the remaining the three Turtles go their separate ways. Raphael adopts a vigilante-styled persona known as the Nightwatcher, Michelangelo gets a job as a children's birthday party entertainer (or punching bag), and Donatello becomes a telephone computer-support assistant.
When Leonardo comes home from his long venture, there is immediately strain in his relationship with Raphael.
While Leonardo and Master Splinter endeavor to heal their family's bonds, mysterious Foot Clan activity and monster sightings cause additional difficulty.
Gameplay
Edit
TMNT is a game with a lot of adventure and action, though the majority of the gameplay is largely based on platforming. Many areas of the game involve leaping across city roof-tops, though even when a level within the game does not take place upon the city roof-tops, platforming is still the dominant gameplay objectives of the game.
For the most part, the action aspect of the game occurs within numerous "areas" (or closed sections of a level) where you must defeat a certain amount of enemies to proceed.
The adventure aspect of the game is mainly based upon different level locations. There are no real items to obtain that are directly related to gameplay, and the level structure is very linear, allowing very little exploration.
The character movement is very fluid and tight, and the roof-top platforming levels capture the feel of the film quite well.
In many ways, this game's gameplay is immensely similar to Ubisoft's "Prince of Persia" game series.
Controls
Edit
The controls in this game are very tight. While Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Gamecube versions of the game use gamepad as the input device, the Wii delivers a different experience, due to its unique motion-sensitive controllers. Movement and rotation of both the Wii remote and Nunchuk extension serve the purpose of achieving common movements. While the Wii version of the game does utilize the motion-sensitivity of its unique controllers, it does not incorporate free-movement in the main game.
