Alienators: Evolution
Product Description
Basing a game on a cartoon based loosely on a so-so sci-fi movie is not a formula that normally makes for a stellar gaming experience. Alienators: Evolution Continues, but, is a fine exception to this rule. Playing Alienators is a real joy, and the game is suitable for all ages.
You play as Dr. Ira Kane, and it’s your mission to defeat the rapidly evolving alien goo known as Genus. Genus can take all sort of forms–from wall-hugging killer larva to vicious mantiwasps–but ultimately manifests itself in the hive mastermind known as Scopes.
Defeating all the incarnations of Genus is a disheartening task, but you are well armed. Right to the movie and cartoon, Genus is vulnerable to shampoo, and you have quite the arsenal: blue goo grenades, rapid-fire shampoo attachments, shampoo throwers–you’ll never look at shampoo the same way again.
Graphically, it feels like you are in the cartoon, and the catchy music adds to the atmosphere. The mechanics of the game are splendid, too–they’re unadorned, yet give a full range of motion. Ira can jump, bow, climb up ladders and across monkey bars, and aim where he shoots, which is a handy feature if you find yourself hanging from one arm while an alien comes down at you from above.
The only downside to Alienators is that there’s no array save. The game does offer a password save feature, but that means you’ll need a pad nearby to jot down the cryptic codes if you want to continue your game. –Bryan Karsh
Pros:
- Splendid control and movement
- Graphics and music capture the feel of the cartoon nicely
Cons:
- Lack of array save and cryptic password system spoil the portable feel of the game

Wasn’t really the best game but still the graphics were excellent. If you haven’t seen the movie i advise you not to get it.
Rating: 4 / 5
This game seems to be based off of the Evolution cartoon show and not the Evolution movie. You are David Duchovney’s character, alone sent out on several missions to find data, keycards and so on. Each level is quite huge and detailed like a cartoon and it is full of dozens of aliens! So many aliens it can get tedious destroying them all, which is why there is a nice variety of guns and special weapons where you push brilliant to chose a standard weapon and L to throw a special bomb. The game has cartoon segments between levels, much like a game based off of a comic book. The graphics are splendid, and the animations run charming, but depending on where the player is facing the screen jerks to where the player faces, which might get very dizzying after a while! Also for grown-up players, this game is far too simple to beat, so you might want to skip this game.
