TEENAGE ZOMBIES: INVASION OF THE ALIEN BRAIN THINGYS!

Tuesday April 8,2008

By Gameboy

Resistance is futile. You'll love this fun game for the DS that pokes fun at the zombie and alien movies of the 1950s.

Comic book style game play sees Planet Earth under attack by a horde of Alien Brain… uh…Thingys!

The human race, naturally, has given up and gone home. Humans, succumbing to ray-guns, mind-control and shiny flying saucers, have failed to defend Earth and let it fall easily into the clutches of The Big Brain and his army of Brain Thingys.

The only hope left for mankind is three Teenage Zombies that have arisen from a graveyard disturbed in the invasion. Stomachs rumbling, our brave zombies use their brain-eating talents to save the world.

Gamers switch between the three teenage zombies: Lefty, a former basketball player missing an arm; Fins, a large character with tentacles; and Half-Pipe, a former skateboarder missing the lower half of his body. Each one has his own strengths, which play a role in getting through the game. 

The undead trio ignore normal human victims in favour of the pulsing pink brains they see everywhere - all the while being lured to the ultimate lunch: THE BIG BRAIN! The Big Brain soon realises he’s overlooked this "Super Race" as they inexplicably resist mind control, are unaffected by ray-gun wounds and devour his Brain Thingy Armies like sweets!

He refocuses his efforts and resources to battle the Earth’s greatest champions: The Teenage Zombies! Teenage Zombies uses a quirky comic book style featuring panels, dialogue boxes and story telling.

Gameplay involves side-scrolling adventures opening up to stylus mini-games, double-screen boss battles and brain busting puzzle challenges.

Verdict:  Daft, but gamers of all ages will relish the brain eating challenges. 

Don't play if you are hungry.
