With over 40 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games preceding it, Ubisoft's 2007 TMNT game struggled to stand out.

Set in a post-apocalyptic Paris, Eagle Flight offers a unique VR racing experience, overshadowed by its competitors. Players take on the role of eagles, engaging in strategic aerial battles. Despite its initial obscurity, the game provides enjoyable short play sessions for VR enthusiasts.
