Play as Your Favorite Monsters
You'll get to choose among your favorite monsters from the movie as you use each of their distinct skills to battle alien robots and save the world. Each monster gives a different game play experience, and figuring out who to use for specific parts of the game is part of the challenge and fun.

The Missing Link, the half-fish and half-ape monster, can scale walls and do acrobatics. He possesses the brute force to beat up most enemies by bashing and using his tail as a whip. B.O.B. is gelatinous and can stretch and bounce, stick to walls, and swallow and spit out enemies and objects. B.O.B. can get to hard-to-reach places by seeping through grates and cracks. Insectosaurus is 350-feet tall, shoots silk, and has a sonic scream, making her indispensable for fighting giant robots. Ginormica is enormous, can race through cities using cars for roller skates, and can fight entire armies. Dr. Cockroach, PhD gives missions and has a slew of gadgets used to fight the aliens.

Explore Locations in the Movie and More
Locations from the movie have been recreated in the game, which also features game-exclusive areas. You'll have a blast exploring the nooks and crannies of the different environments. There are 20 distinct levels to explore including Gallaxher's mothership, the streets of San Francisco, and the super secret government containment area.

Second Player Can Drop In at Any Time
If a friend walks in and wants to join in on the fun, he only needs to pick up a controller and can drop in on the action by playing as Dr. Cockroach PhD.

4.0 out of 5 stars My 4 year old loves it!!!, April 2, 2009

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Monsters vs. Aliens (Video Game)

The game is for 10 years old and up but my 4 year old loves it. The game is simple enough that he can play a lot of it on his own. There are some parts where I have to help him out, but he can handle a lot of it himself.

--The game is too easy for an experienced gamer, but there are still a lot of fun, enjoyable moments.

--Some parts are a bit repetitive, you are doing the same things over and over but in a different environment, but the environments are visually exciting enough that it makes up for this in a way.


My favorite characters to play are the Missing Link and Ginormica (Susan). BOB is kind of boring to me, but that is just my personal preference.

Playing this game with my son, I give it 4 stars and have a great time. Playing it by myself, I don't like it as much, but it is based on a kids movie, so this is expected.
