Monsters vs. Aliens demo picks a fight with the XBLM

by Dustin Burg on Feb 22nd 2009 7:10PM

The Xbox Live Marketplace doesn't traditionally receive new game demos on Sunday, but today is an exception with the release of a freakishly combative Monsters vs. Aliens demo.

The 620MB demo of the Activision developed movie game gives players a trial of a few missions, which is plenty of hands-on time to reinforce the general rule that movie-based video games are monstrously disappointing. We hope (yet are pretty certain) that DreamWorks' flick offers up more entertainment than the game.

The movie looks interesting. I prefer the movies done by Pixar though. Pixar's new movie "UP" looks more interesting than this one.

Agreed,. DreamWorks' animation pictures are generally mediocre, focusing more on getting a bunch of celebrities involved. and tend to rely too heavily on pop-culture references. Pixar's stuff tends to have a lot more heart.
