Ubisoft's "TMNT": The Old Shell Game

The "TMNT" video game, based on the upcoming CGI feature-length film starring the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is now available at video game retailers in North America.

Developed by Ubisoft's Montreal and Quebec City studios, "TMNT" the video game is rated E10+ and available for the Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Windows® PC, Game Boy® Advance, Nintendo DS(TM), Nintendo GameCube(TM) and Wii(TM).

The game incorporates the same environments and extends the adventurous themes featured in the new TMNT CGI film being developed by Imagi Animation Studios and Mirage Licensing and distributed by Warner Bros., opening March 23, 2007.

Set in a New York City plagued by villains and otherworldly creatures, the Turtles experience their most trying time both as heroes and as a family.

'Raphael', 'Donatello' and 'Michelangelo' lose their focus while struggling to maintain their unity and ninja discipline.

In the movie and in the game, it's up to 'Leonardo' and father figure 'Splinter' to reunite the band of brothers and save New York City from a monstrous evil that lurks around every corner.

Game players will engage in over-the-top acrobatic navigation, collaborative combat and powerful fighting moves.

"Ubisoft is proud to be introducing everyone's favorite Turtles to the next generation of video games," said Tony Key, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft.

"Ubisoft has worked closely with the creators at Imagi and Mirage to develop an immersive gaming experience that gives players a chance to expand the adventures in the film by submerging themselves in the sewers and scaling the rooftops of New York City in true ninja style."
