You can't beat a spot of parkour when it comes to negotiating your way across the urban jungle. Leaping off buildings and bouncing down walls is faster than the 171 bus, anyway.

In-Fusio knows this, which is why the publisher is preparing for the release of Yamakasi Masters.

However, it's based on a specific troupe of French folk, who've apparently evolved the art of parkour into, well, more of an art, focusing on flips and tricks more than simply getting from A to B as quickly as possible.

Details on the game itself are scarce for the moment, but you can get a hint from the screenshots above.

It's got a lot to live up to, though. RealArcade's Playman Extreme Running might be a more cartoonish take on parkour, but for animation and sheer playability, it's a hard act to follow.
