Holy poo! Don’t even bother downloading the game. It has the most awkward and nonconformist control scheme I’ve ever seen/played (requiring space, r_shift&ctrl, return, backspace, arrows, and num_2/4/6/8) with no option to remap. Developer fail!

I saw the preview for this (movie) when I went to see Coraline. It looked alright, but all I could think of was that it was a kiddie version of Hellboy.

Coraline, though, I thought would make a fantastic old-school adventure game. I mean, the story is essentially an inventory puzzle. It would be great! Shame the movie tie-in is a platformer.

I also saw a preview for 9, which I mistook at first for a Little Big Planet movie.

On a related note, I am still hoping for They Came From Hollywood to finally come out. Click my name for mega bonus fun.

I want to watch the movie. But It seems one of these movies where all the jokes are already on the trailer. So It will be not dramatic if we accidentally skip this one.
The game is not aiming any high than that. But I suppose If you like the movie, the game will get you some fun. It looks like well made, good graphics and all. Not groundbreaking, but overall good.

Teenage girls can breathe fire. True story.

Dare I say, although very generic in nature, I slightly enjoyed the demo. I may just be too tired to be cynical about a kids game though. I can see how the characters will work better in the film, and now I might actually have to see it.

That girl doesn’t exactly look monstrous to me. Unless the subtext is that teenage girls are monsters, in which case… actually, I can get on side with that one.

Well my two daughters have a long way to go before they reach that teenage stage, but unless they suddenly stop being little monsters, I can see mine as being very large monsters by the time they reach the teenager stage.

As such I better download this demo to get an idea of what I’m in for within the next decade =)

My second Shepard is a Kate (see: Walker’s BoTOR pieces). She is probably humanity’s greatest monster, and makes Jimmy Carter look like Richard Nixon.

Your game is nothing compared to MONSTRO!
