G-Force (Nintendo DS) Review

This movie is a blockbuster and I enjoyed it. The G-Force the video game is an exciting action-platformer that draws you into the adventures of an elite team of trained guinea pigs on a mission to thwart a sinister plot to destroy the world. Take control of both G-Force commander Darwin and his housefly surveillance sidekick, Mooch, as they apply their talents to defeat an evil army of altered household appliances.

Key Features:

• Battle an army of evil robots with cool weapons and high-tech gadgets not seen in the movie.
• Play as Darwin, the leader of the G-Force, and Mooch, your housefly commando sidekick.
• Fast-paced Bruckheimer-style action and combat.
• Play fun mini-games to hack into and take control of evil appliances.

One down side is that a lot of jumping and whipping air vents to move from area to area and gets repetitive after awhile. Also you'll need to see the movie to truly understand what these characters are like. And the manual is the absolute pits. And they are complaints over short gameplay. There are only six missions so the game is finite by design. The extras keep you on their toes, so if one gets missed you might not see all there is to see.

The same title is also released for Sony PSP. It is sad to note that the limited memory in the Nintendo DS pushed the developers to axe out the audio of the game. The cut scenes in the PSP are very good compared to the mute ones in the Nintendo DS. It was a bad decision.

Aliens in the Attic (Nintendo DS) Review

Okay, lately I've been exploring games adapted from movies. Sorry to disappoint but this is another review of a game adapted to the Nintendo DS platform from the wide-screen.

The game closely follows the story of the movie, and you'll take collective control of Tom, Jake, and Hannah throughout the adventure. Aliens have invaded your attic, of course, and it's up to the trio to save the world. Aliens in the Attic on DS is something of a platforming shooter, so liberties are taken in terms of the size of rooms and the overall expanse of your abode. Well, most game adaptations of movie permit you to play one of the main characters.

each of the three main characters has a little something unique to offer the gameplay, and you'll often be required to switch between characters on the fly (using the shoulder buttons). Tom's the brains of the bunch, so he's the only one who can make use of the alien gadgets you'll acquire throughout the game. Jake's the oldest and strongest of the group, and it's up to him to move heavy objects, either for use in navigating higher platforms, or simply to clear a pathway for your team. Lastly, Hannah is the smallest and most agile; she can double jump, as well as make her way through narrow passages.

Each of the two boys are equipped with homemade guns (compliments of Tom's handiwork), which can be upgraded via items that will be passed on to you when you rescue neighbors and family members throughout levels. Upgrades include a homing device, ammo that can knock back enemies, as well as a nozzle that creates a spray of bullets. Though there's infinite ammo, you will need to keep an eye out for grenade and health pick-ups

Unfortunately, the game won't last you much longer than that, and clocking in at a mere three hours (four tops) for a single playthrough. On the plus side, the game looks and sounds really good. The graphics engine is reminiscent of what we saw in Spider-man: Web of Shadows (DS), and there are some really impressive smoke and lighting effects throughout the game. The texture work is really smooth, and the animation is rock solid. The only real sore spot in the visuals were the boss battles.

Up (Nintendo DS) Review

One Disney movie I enjoyed is Up. You can now get an adaptation of the movie into your Nintendo DS.

Up for Nintendo DS allows players to experience all four main characters from the movie -- Carl, Russell, Dug the lovable dog or Kevin the prehistoric bird.

Key Game Features
