Monsters vs. Aliens Review
_______________________

Games based on films are rarely good with exceptions to this rule being very uncommon. Today we look at a PC game based around the new 3D movie Monsters V Aliens which is proving popular with a wide cinema going audience. Is this another licensed game to avoid however or is it worth your time?

Monsters V Aliens proves to be enjoyable for the first hour but unfortunately seems to focus on the same mechanics for the next five hours meaning that it becomes extremely repetitive and tiring. You control B.O.B. (amorphous blob), The Missing Link (weird B-movie fish like creature), Ginormica (50 foot girl with super strength) throughout the levels and after a while it proves to be a test of endurance as to whether your attention level can make it to the end.

Thanks for the review and another I won't be checking out. It is nice to be able to see what these games are like before dishing out money for something you won't like
