Conclusion and Rating

The only thing you need to ask yourself about this game is: why did they bother making it? And the answer to that is simple: money. Big movie company gives developer a big bag of cash to make a game with that summer’s blockbuster name on the front of it. They don’t care if the game is any good or not, just that it’s ready in time for the film’s release.

If you didn’t know before, then you know now – never, ever buy a movie tie-in. Unless it’s Arkham Asylum.



Pros
It’s over fast enough not to spoil an entire weekend ploughing through.

Cons:
Repetitive levels
Flying is a lack-lustre affair devoid of any sense of fighter plane speed
The menus are horrible to navigate
The game finishes before it starts.

so.. the antithesis of the film…?

Gutted.. was looking forward to this. I'm not very good with console controlled fighting, so thought this might be a worthy blast round at my mates house over a few beers and some drink fueled arguement's over the tactics to kill the big boss levels.
It might be a bit better after a few drinks. Hmm, maybe quite a few drinks actually.
