Megamind: Ultimate Showdown
About the Game
Picking up right after the events of the movie, Megamind: Ultimate Showdown allows players to take up the role of Megamind in order to take on the villains of the Doom Syndicate. Megamind alternates between four weapons - a De-Stroy gun (pew pew pew), De-Hydrate gun (will shrink objects and enemies), Blower Glove (watch your enemies scramble to remain upright as you blast them with your portable tornado) and a Tesla Glove (creates electrical discharges of shocking strength). The game is comprised of about nine mission levels, with access to Megamind's Lair as a Hub in between missions.
Gameplay & Core Systems
players must collect glowing tokens known as B.I.N.K.E.Y in order to upgrade Megamind's weapons. The goal is to control it and make your way through an industrial themed track before the timer runs out. The track will give players the novelty feeling of being inside a ping pong machine, with lots of twists and turns, moving environmental items such as running across the trailers of moving trucks, and pipes to fall into that shoot players out into a new area. Two-player co-op mode is included, although the second player doesn't have as much control as Megamind's character. It was designed to give a guardian or parent the opportunity to help their child, or a younger sibling, without the possibility of impeding player one's progression.
