Those crazy ninjas that we all used to love are now back, in the form of a computer game once again. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (also known as Hero Turtles in the UK), will be coming next March to the PS2, PS3 and PSP, along with the film release in the very same month.

While it has to be said that all games prior to this one (except the mighty hard NES version) have been far from enjoyable, it doesn’t mean you can’t be hopeful. Ubisoft are at the helm, and there’s no harm in being a little optimistic. Having said that, when has a film-based game been phenomenal?

If you are excited about this though, there is a nice little “making of” video. The film is CG, unlike some of the (also shockingly awful) Turtle movies gone by, so the style of the game looks good.

If you watch the video, you’ll notice that the guy speaking mentions “working as a family”. There are four Turtles, so could this mean four player co-op? Perhaps you could play the game on your PS3, whilst your mate joins you on his PSP? That is a big longshot, but would be a nice feature! So long as it features co-op over PS3’s online network, I’m happy. Even split screen would be excellent. Plus, feeling like a ninja appeals to me, because it’s something I’ll never be able to do, so back-flipping off of walls gives me great pleasure.

I’m excited about the game, and I just hope Ubisoft can make the game a fun experience. Co-op would swing it greatly for me, so fingers crossed on that front. The game is set to release on the 23rd of March, 2007 (UK). However, that date does not include the PS3 version, since the PS3 won’t have launched for the UK. The game is set for “launch” for the PS3, so that could be, well, anytime. I’m sure the film will be released on the same day, or just before. And in true EA style, the game is going to be released on Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PSP, PS3, DS, GBA and GameCube.
