Monsters vs. Aliens for Wii Reviews by Gamers

A lot of attention has gone into this game, and it is fun .. up to a point. You alternate between three different characters, each a different style of play - first person racing, 2D platform, and 3D platforming. Each character has its own quirks and enjoyable ways to play, but it gets very old, very quick. Even when you finally "win" a stage, and hope that the characters might do something different, they don't - more of the same. After a while, it's just a boring combination of "kill the bad guys / solve the mini-puzzles" with an occasional touch of "annoying platform jumper". On the plus side, the lack of death (you simply restart with slightly less points) plus the constant chatter between the characters might make this an enjoyable game for young kids.
