PALGN: WALL-E Review

PALGN writes: "When it comes to the Disney Pixar films THQ has had a pretty good run with the film tie ins, there are the incredible racing games Cars and Cars Mater National as well as last years simple, but inspired Ratatouille. Here we are a year after the release of Ratatouille and WALL-E has hit theatres around the country and the games have appeared alongside the release, so is the game just as good or has THQ outstayed their welcome with the Disney Pixar titles?

The WALL-E game follows the events of the film nearly identically. In the future the Earth is ravaged by pollution, trash and mass consumerism from a company called Buy and Large. The Earth is so overrun that the humans have gone out to space leaving the machines to clean up the mess. The clean up was only supposed to take five years but 700 years have passed and now the only thing left on earth is the Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class (or WALL-E) and a lone cockroach. Things seem to be repeating themselves until one day an extra-terrestrial vegetation evaluator (or EVE) is sent to Earth to find signs of life. EVE and WALL-E become friends until EVE finds a sign of life and is then sent back to space. WALL-E then needs to decide whether to follow EVE or continue packing trash."
