Based on the upcoming DreamWorks Animation 3D feature film, the Monsters vs. Aliens video game will put the fate of the planet in players' hands as they lead a team of five misfit monsters on a mission to save the world.
The game will coincide with the movie's release in March 2009 and will allow fans to play as some of the characters from the film, including The Missing Link, the macho half-ape, half-fish; the gelatinous, indestructible and always hungry B.O.B.; and Ginormica, the 49-foot-11-inch tall woman and Insectosaurus, the 350-foot tall grub.

The game, based on the upcoming Monsters vs. Aliens feature film, is developed by Amaze Entertainment for the Nintendo DS. The general plot and gameplay is fairly similar to its console cousins though the game was obviously adapted for the handheld."
PGNx writes: "Monsters vs. Aliens follows the movie's plot. Essentially, an evil alien named Gallaxhar has a sinister plan to take over Earth and has enrolled many robots on his side to accomplish his goal. It's up to the exiled monsters (including the recently captured Ginormica who grew to 50 feet tall on her wedding day) to fight off these aliens and defend Earth from this evil villain. The plot is light-hearted but it's often satisfying, especially for children, to simply see monsters and aliens battle it out."
Game Freaks 365 writes: "Activision and Dreamworks have teamed up for another video game based on an animated movie by Dreamworks. Monsters vs. Aliens is a game based on the movie of the same name where a team of monsters held by the U.S. government have to fend off an invasion from alien invaders. Does this platformer stack up well against its next-gen counterparts?"
