Cowabunga! Time to take to the streets with those awesome heroes in half shells.

There's no denying that Christmas time this year is Turtle time You've seen the comic, poster, keyring, model...the list goes on and to wrap it all up perfectly in time for the Festive Season, clear your CPC screen and be prepared for a megablast of epic proportions in the shape of those four classic heroes from beneath New York City.

Set over six epic levels of horizontal scrolling, your quest is to rescue your dear friend and ally, April O'Neil, from the maniacal clutches of the evil Shredder. Along the way, be prepared for some dazzling graphics displays and some pretty gruesome opposition, in both human and animal form.

Rumbling through some pretty nasty quarters of the Big Apple, your main worry will be warding off the hordes of Ninjitsu warriors, blood descendants of the deadly Foot Clan. Master control of your weaponry and take the battle straight to them.

Underneath the walkways, the adventure takes you deep into Mouser territory in the sewers, while other criminal vermin will pop up in the underground rivers as you try to locate the secret sewage passages that will take you finally to Shredder's lair.

To make matters just a little harder, you have to control each of the Turtles in turn, to make sure they keep up with the action at all times - no easy task. Whether you pick Michelangelo, Raffael, Leonardo or Donatello, be sure to pick wisely and match their individual strengths against the ever-changing enemy.

Each of the separate locations within the game are totally different with their own distinct atmosphere, allowing you to really get into each of the heroes' styles and weapons usage. This inter-changeability brings a whole new dimension to the old scenario of rescuing the damsel in distress and, if you do manage to locate the correct path through to Shredder's secret hideaway, be prepared for sonic-hell-for-leather fighting if you want to bring April away with you.

In case you hadn't already realised, Shredder is one tough dude and you'll need all your wits about you as he comes in for the attack. Don't worry, you'll know him when you see him, he's the big guy with the ugly mug hidden by the mask. If you do see him, knock him on the head for me as well, nasty character!

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles the computer game is going to be as big, if not bigger, than the movie. The gameplay looks superb and with the interchangeable Turtles option, the variety of action is dramatic, making this game a sure winner for the Festive Season and one that's going to be well 'ard to knock off the top of the charts. Go out and get it as soon as you get a whiff of it near the shops, dudes.
