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.

What's this? A game based on a hit movie that isn't there just to draw more money out of the customer?
I say it's true; Monsters Vs. Aliens is one movie-based game that I found a lot of fun to play because the game makers took the time to put in inventive game ideas and levels.
In this game, you play several levels. In each level, you play as one of three main characters of the film, Susan, B.O.B. or the Missing Link. Each character has a different challenge (sort of).
When you play as Susan, you are on roller cars (or alien ships in the last levels), skating through an obstacle course. You have to dodge, jump, duck or smash your way through the obstacles.
In the other two - the Missing Link and B.O.B., you play a 3D platformer. But there are some great ideas.
For instance, B.O.B. can cling onto walls and ceilings. At certain parts of the level, he gets on a small platform and blasts enemies with (for lack of a better phrase) explosive loogies.
As for the Missing Link, he can take out large guns and bolts when you wave the Wiimote in the fashion shown on screen. He can also pick up enemies and toss one into another.
A second player can join in and blast enemies just like in Super Mario Galaxy. It's a lot of fun.
But not all is paradise for this game; getting B.O.B. to jump onto the wall or ceiling is a hit or miss proposition, grabbing enemies is tougher than it should be, the fixed camera can be a pain, and the main mode will take about six hours to finish - very short for a $50 game.
There's the ususal mini games and extras found in many other games of the genre, but these extras didn't excite me in the least (they should make four player, not single player mini games.)
Still, Monsters Vs. Aliens demolishes many other movie based games (Tale of Desperaux, Coraline, Madagascar Escape 2 Africa come to mind). But the $50 price tag is a bit on the steep side. RENT IT.

Monsters vs Aliens is a fun game it is entertaining but has too many cut scenes. You would think the way the controls vibrate that they are going out of style.By the second scene you want to get ride of them.

THE GAME IS OK BUT I WILL NEVER BUY IT CAUSE IT IS VERY BORING AFTER ALL ALRIGHT!!!

when I recieved this game my son tried to play it but it keeps reading disc error on my wii!

this game is awsome because of the graipics

I played this with my 7 year old son. He really enjoyed playing the different charactors, especially Ginormica. I wish it was more like the real movie and followed some sort of storyline but it was really all over the place. Some of the levels just seemed like the same thing just a little different. Overall it was pretty fun.

This is a great game. Graphics are very good. I really enjoyed playing this game.

This game is very awsome! If you like giant girls rollerskating, blobs of goo like jello, and a lizard like man, this is THE GAME FOR YOU!
