Good once around. Maybe twice. After that it's annoying.

I never really bothered to pick up this game and take a look at it. It was just there on the shelf of Movie Gallery this entire time, just another game among all the others. And in the outcome, thats all it really is.

Take 1 parts GTA/Mercenaries, 1 part Invader Zim, and 2 parts 1950's sattire, and you end up with this game. A free-roaming, humor-laden, Communist-fearing video game. Well the free roaming isnt all that free, once you go out too far you get taken back up to the mothership. The levels though are pretty easy to navigate but can often become annoying. The weapons are what youd expect an alien to have: disintegrator, electric gun, and even an anal probe. Yes, an anal probe. The use of the Havok engine is small because you can only use it in one of two ways: either with your PK abilities or with the ship. Using the PK abilities is extremely helpful since you can read the minds of the humans around you. You can also make them cause a distraction, go to sleep, or in some cases use them to complete a mission. If you ever get tired of blowing things up on foot, hop into your ship and start destroying (almost) everything in sight. From buildings to cars to... buildings. Theres not much to destroy. YOu can upgrade yourself, your weapons, and your ship, but it'll take some time to fully do those.
One thing to do in this game is collect the brains of the humans for their DNA. Also, finding the probes allows you to get more DNA. Once you beat the game, you can go back through and look for all the probes, but thats about it.

The graphics are not the best Ive seen, but they do well enough to get the job done at least. Although one might get frustrated from having to play in the same level 5 times over before you get to the next one. There is an awfully repetitive use of civilians in the areas and the Majestic agents all look the same.

In fact they all sound the same. The voiceacting is very well done, but it gets weird taking orders from Invader Zim. The conversations between Crypto and Orthopox are hilarious, sometimes. Others you just want them to shut up. The explosions sound cartoony, but most of the time your running from them too often to pay attention to them.

This is just one of those games where its just a game. It makes no huge impact on the gaming world and its overlooked by many. I liked it, im glad I rented it to finally see what it was all about. But I dont expect to buy it unless its in the used bin.
