Game Revolution reviews Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys

Blake Morse writes:

''Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys, the latest offering from InLight Entertainment, is a game that takes you out of the more traditional role of zombie hunter/survivalist and makes you the zombie. In fact, the whole premise is that of zombies saving the world from invading brains (big surprise given the game's title).

To accomplish this task, you're given control over three dead adolescents: "Lefty" Lopez, a lanky girl with one arm that can stretch to reach high places; "Halfpipe" Boyd, who is only half a torso and rides around on a skateboard; and, last but not least, "Fins" Magee, a fat kid who has tentacles growing out of his back for some inexplicable reason and can climb up walls. Fins can also deal out some seriously lethal vomit with the right power-up.

It's your job to guide the three of them through various platform stages, making use of each one's abilities to get through certain areas a la Lemmings or The Lost Vikings. Each level is like a puzzle, except none of them are extremely hard to figure out. Most of the time the solution is blatantly laid out for you, such as a ramp for Halfpipe to slide down or a ledge only Lefty can reach. To further ease your path, one clever idea is that all the training captions are dialogue boxes that are also actually platforms. Even though the game was already pretty easy to figure out, they do come in handy when identifying power-ups, and it adds to the cartoony aesthetic.''
