Free-Roam Turtles Game from Ubisoft

Who else wished Ubisoft would do the Turtles justice by giving them a free-roam game? They used the Jade engine built from Beyond Good & Evil and also used in Prince of Persia, so the dynamics are definitely there! The whole look of the film reminded me of Beyond Good & Evil, especially Max Winters (http://img.stern.de/_content/51/67/516700/beyond1_400.jpg)! Ubi really dropped the ball on what could have been the ultimate kick ass TMNT game in history.

Does anyone know how sales were on the game? I heard they were developing a Turtles game that was not a tie-in so maybe if we emailed them or posted on their boards someone would see it and take notice of what sort of game Turtle fans would like to see.

All I can say is, I would like free roaming, but NO PRECISION JUMPING! A better fighting engine would also be good. I also would like the other 3 turtles to be computer AI fighting along side you in single player, as in TMNT3 Mutant Nightmare, where you could choose any turtle you like, anytime.

Ubisoft's GBA TMNT game was the ONLY version I liked because it was a good classic style side scroller fighter, like Turtles in Time. If Ubisoft could make a game like that with console's graphics and free roaming and multiple choice of character, I'd be happy.

Not to forget that Assassin's Creed is being developed by Ubisoft. And also the Splinter Cell series goes on.

All of which have great elements that a TMNT game could use. But I think we'll have to dream on for now.

I don't think all four turtles should be there fighting together at the same time for a game like this. The turtles also fight alone. Yes I think they should be able to call on a brother or all of them, but not constantly there. But that's just my opinion.

It could give the option to 'recruit' them to come along on a mission. At some times they may not be available or not allowed.

Free roaming games pretty much suck unless there's a LOT of effort and detail put into them. I'd rather have a linear game that was made much better.

Free-roam games are still linear to a degree. Look at the Spiderman movie games, they have a story line you can follow then a bunch of extra stuff on the side and afterwards.

If that was the case then you could call on other characters sides the turtles for help like Casey, April, Splinter, and such. Maybe for kicks you could get special dialogs by pairing them up with the right turtle.

I think it'd be funny if you could have Shredder on your team at some point and see how the turtles react to that.
