Men in Black II: Alien Escape
Review by DannysGetNDown
"This is an excellent example of something good gone horribly bad."
Alright So Men in Black II isn't that good, it could have been if done correctly but this was not that great at all. All you do is move with the analog and rapidly press the fire button and mow down all the enemies and continue into the next room until you finish the game. That's it! There's nothing to unlock, no Multi-player nothing else except run and gun. There are some rooms where I liked running around dodging enemy fire while grabbing power-ups and firing back and at the 10 enemies and coming out victorious. I think that it is possible to do this game without getting hit at all. Basically this game could have been on the regular Nintendo Entertainment System or one of the older systems and not looked as good but been pretty much exactly the same. This game only has 5 missions and that's it, so it's really short too. You can beat this game a couple hours tops.
Graphics: 4/10
Nothing amazing in this game no explosions or anything like that but it is pretty average and actually just an environment, like a rooftop an you run around kill everyone and go into the next room or downstairs that's all.
Music/Sound: 3/10
The music in this game isn't anything that good, I didn't pay attention I was almost always constantly shooting and shooting sounds overpowered the music anyways.
Gameplay: 4/10
The game-play for this game is good you will learn the controls after about a 2 minutes it's very easy, there is nothing to it really except rapidly hit the fire button to shoot and you move with the analog that's all, you might get like a some type of grenade thing but that's it. It's a third-person shooter game. You do get power-ups that change your weapons to shoot 3 or bullets at once and things like that.
Replay Value: Low
I was hesitant to play it the first time and if I didn't I wouldn't have made this review. and I will probably never play it again. There isn't anything in this game that makes me want to play it again. There are only I think 5 missions so you could probably beat this game in 1 playtime if your play time is a couple hours.
Extras: 0/10
Sadly this game does not have any extras it's just a 1 player game till you beat it once and it wasn't even great to begin with it was poor to average.
Overall: 3/10
The game is so-so but if you can't find it cheap then don't get it, you could rent it I guess. All you do is run and gun.
Pros:
I liked the color of the sky...
Cons:
No Unlockables
No Multi-player
Too Easy
Too Short
