Monsters vs. Aliens

About

Monsters vs. Aliens lets you play as three characters from the 2009 movie, each with distinct abilities for platforming and combat. The story follows the film’s plot, with levels designed around key scenes. Local co-op supports two players, either on the same screen or separately, making it easy to jump in and out. The controls are straightforward, focusing on action over complexity. The game uses voice actors from the movie but swaps some roles, with James Horan and Fred Tatasciore stepping in for Hugh Laurie and Kiefer Sutherland. It’s the final DreamWorks title for PlayStation 2 and the last developed by Beenox. Player reviews note the charm of the co-op mode and the game’s faithfulness to the source material, though it’s often seen as a brief, lighthearted distraction rather than a deep experience.
