Developed by Ubisoft's Montreal and Quebec City studios, TMNT is rated E10+ and is available for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 2, the PSP, Windows PC, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo GameCube and Wii.
The new TMNT video game incorporates the same dark setting and dangerous environments and extends the themes featured in the new TMNT CGI film being developed by Imagi Animation Studios and Mirage Licensing and distributed by Warner Bros. The TMNT movie, which opens in U.S. theaters on March 23, 2007, takes place in a New York City plagued by secretive villains and strange, otherworldly creatures. Faced with these perils, the Turtles will experience their most trying time both as heroes and as a family, as Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo lose their focus and struggle to maintain their unity and ninja discipline. In the movie and in the highly immersive video game adventure, it's up to Leonardo and the faithful father figure Splinter to reunite the band of brothers and save New York City from a monstrous evil that lurks around every corner. Video game players will engage in over-the-top acrobatic navigation, collaborative combat and powerful fighting moves.
