New TMNT trailer. Demo today?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: the whole concept is absurd. They're mutant ninja turtles for crying out loud, and yet, they've managed to carve out a niche in our social conscience. It might be this ingrained popularity that makes it so hard to make a decent game, as we hold the franchise to a certain standard. There have been some exceptions, notably the arcade game (which belongs on Xbox Live Arcade) and some of the NES iterations, but by and large, TMNT games stink. What then, are we to think of this trailer? It wasn't long ago that Ubisoft announced that the game was moving from Xbox to the Xbox 360, and it shows. Clearly, this is a port of the Xbox/PS2 version, and nothing more. This alone could be forgiven if the game didn't look so ... done before. Who knows, maybe it's fun, but it looks pretty "blah" to us.
According to Evil Avatar, we may have a chance to find out just how good the game is later today, as Ubisoft may be releasing a demo. In the meantime, have a gander at the trailer and tell us what you think.
