1. The future Earth is infested with green, nasty and annoying creatures. You and your team, which gets bigger as time passes, are against all of these “things”. The story introduces new players as the player progresses through the story. The funky characters are all very unique. Each character has their own special ability and snazzy look. The game tries to include too much storyline and fails to some extent – the protagonist, Low, comes back from the future as Stranger; his sister goes missing; his girlfriend is pregnant etc. All these events kind of get ignored, as they don’t flow that well with the game – the game is too “happy” and funny to have all this negativity. Apart from that, the game play is very fun – different tactics have to be used on different levels as you progress toward defeating the monster race. First you have move around your character (3rd person), stop to aim (1st person) ready your shaky aim, and try to get a good percentage for the shot. There are different upgrades throughout the game, which can be used to upgrade each character – better power, double shot per turn, zoom option etc. Characters even level up as they defeat the green monsters. The humor in the game ruins the atmosphere of a taken over Earth, though it offers some funny moments. The duration of the game is pretty long with 19 levels to explore, each with its own unique feel. With beautiful diverse environments and different types of monsters, the game has a lot of variety. Not too hard, yet not an easy title. The game also has some skill points: which require your character/s to sustain a particular health level or none at all; upgrade any characters, to get all weapons upgrades etcetera. The skill point system is fairly similar to Ratchet’s skill point system.
