Fresh from the sewers: TMNT PC demo photo

Unless you're like this freak, or not reading Destructoid enough, you may not have heard that Ubisoft is releasing an assload of games for all platforms based on the upcoming March 23rd movie release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And really, who expected any different?

Well, 'turtle freak' or not, you may be interested to know that Ubisoft has made a demo of the PC version available on their Web site. Although it's a fatty at 220mb, it's still the easiest way to see what Ubisoft has done with the license.

Should you have the proper PC config (2ghz processor, 3D card, 512mb ram), you'll be controlling Leo and kicking ass in no time. You can nab the demo here. Hit the jump for a rundown on the controls.

What we need is a Shredder game. Then I could finally make that highly praised turtle soup he's been talking about for 25 odd years.

I don't think I'll ever play that, not that I don't like TMNT or PC games...it's just that I don't play many PC games. The main one I played is WoW.

Also, isn't there supposed to be a new TMNT movie coming out too?

i tried it, they dont give you a full level,from what the demo showed me, its a jump of jumping around(like a frog) then in the middle of the demo, they give you some guys you beat up, then you do some prince of persia crap, and then its over

I've played the demo a few times, and I honestly like it a lot. I have a feeeling the game is going to be a little on the easy side, but Lego Star Wars was easy and I love that game.

I really have a ton of hope for this game.

And btw, using the mouse/keyboard controls work surprisingly well with this game.

erm....

"Ubisoft is releasing an assload of games for ALL PLATFORMS based on the UPCOMING March 23rd MOVIE"

The demo is OK, you get 7.5 minutes of play, but you can get fairly far in that time once you know your way around. It is obviously just PoP with Turtles. But it is ok to play and this level (scaling roof tops) obviously lends itself particularly to PoP action so we'll see what the rest of the game its like.

I cant find the original video but apparently it is a Aphex Twin Music video...slightly twisted.

are those the minimum or the recommended specs? Cus my laptop barely meets those and I was running it at a pretty nice framerate. It was interesting to play but I would have to have it on a console and have a friend or my brother to play through the whole game with.

The demo was a lot of fun. It is a lot like PoP, just faster and easier. I noticed that I never really had to stop moving, even when I made mistakes. I like that.

just downloaded and played a few times, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. Wii version could be good.

Shouldn't that be:

I tried it. I think it's great. A lot like PoP but with more fluid movement. Next to impossible to line things up perfectly with the arrow keys, though, which is why I'd never in a million years choose to play this one on PC. I'll pick up one of the console versions, though, because this was pretty damn fun, and I'm a huge fan of the Turtles.

Try connecting a gamepad to your PC first. :P

I've seen some trailers for this and it actually didn't look horrible, but who knows. Raphael FTW!

I was surprised by the demo. I did get stuck though, but it's pretty good.
