I waited with baited breath for this game. Lucasarts and Planet Moon Studios, who gave us the wonderfully original and funny Giants: Citizen Kabuto working together! It should be great right? Well, in essence, no. The best part of the game are the hilarious cut scenes that introduce the characters. These are very well written and laugh out loud funny. The game play is uninspired. Sure, you get to use the infamous land shark gun and the "corkscrew" weapon to literally turn the world upside down, but you get to use these power ups few and far in between. Most of the time you will be using your trusted machine gun to mow down endless waves of mooks. The game is extremely uninspired and gets repetitive within 5 minutes. I would rather buy a DVD with the cut scenes from the game than pay $50 for this game. Sorry, but it just falls well short.
