Monsters vs. Aliens
About the Game
Aliens is based on the animated movie of the same name. During the course of the game players take control over three characters from the movie which all feature different gameplay elements. Missing Link, a mix between fish and human, has to survive levels which are similar to most licensed games from animated movies: a 3rd person platformer. The sections with B.o.B., a slime monster, are more puzzle oriented.
