Attack of the 3-D movies


Price = $ 20.00
Players = 1-4



HOW DOES THE GAME LIVE UP TO IT'S EXPLANATION/BOX ART? (5/10)

This 3-D cover explodes with all the things that you would have been excited for ten years ago. Skeletons, sharks, giant bugs, and GUNS splatter this zooming cover. But, what is this exactly?

Well apparently you are the only hero that can save the world when the movies come to alive and start attacking the world.

Now the back of the box does explain that it is a shooter and you'll have survive/survive/survive, but if you have an untrained eye to in game play pictures you might not see that this game is a Rail Arcade Shooter.

P.S. Did i mention you get to wear 3-D glasses if you'd like?



HOW IS THE GAME PLAY? (4/10)

Well at first this game seems really lame and honestly it is. It doesn't really give anything new to the arcade rail Shooter world. (Rail shooter means you DO NOT control your character) The graphics are pretty bad, the worlds don't look that great for this generation, and some of the ways the enemies attack are impossible to stop unless you are playing multiplayer. (Which i doubt really helps that much)



HOW DOES THE GAME LIVE UP TO IT'S GENRE? (3/10)

Rail shooters are generally meant for arcade play. There are some great ones out there. (Time Crisis, House of the Dead) This one isn't in the top shop for your library. It does have some pretty quick achievements if you are going for some quick score, but other than that it's not good at all.


THE 'GAME OVER' ALL? (40%)

As far as i know there is no light gun for the 360 as of yet. Probably because Rail shooters like this one are pretty dead in the water. No one really wants to play arcade style games like this anymore unless you have a gun. The reticle moves horribly across the screen causing you to miss half of your shots, and makes you annoyed more then happy.

I give this game a little bit of a leaning score due to it is the only rail shooter i have seen on the system. And when playing it multiplayer is was a little bit better. But, that was probably because conversation while playing this bad game was fun.

arbitrary credit for gore and nudity = 0
