Quick Look: Men in Black: Alien Crisis

Come on you guys, Men in Black came out in 1997.

@AgentMOO: Cool. Cool cool cool.

Well this is a special game indeed.

25:14 Alarm sound effect from Goldeneye.

I wonder how many stock sound effects these guys used in this game.

@Yummylee: Haha holy shit I got stuck at the same part.

Also best cutscenes EVER!!!

This quick look is really one of the best in a long time. This game has the perfect mix of confusing and awful.

Whoever redeemed the Battleship ticket and stopped anyone else from seeing that movie, I SALUTE YOU.

You've done the Giant Bomb community proud.

this is a good ql

That blonde chick? Also the standard female voice in Saints Row The Third.

Edit: Apparently that'd be Troy Baker and Laura Bailey. Okay, that makes sense since they're also in every game ever.

This looks like a bad Wii lightgun game ported up to the other systems.

I say this having played both good and bad Wii lightgun games.

Holy fuck. These are some Dreamcast-quality graphics.

No they aren't. Most Dreamcast games had style.

9 people on this site has this game...

So this is DLC to ME3 ?

i am blown away that games like this are still released by major republishers. even activision.

This ruined by day.

What a dick move, I would have seen the movie.

Great quicklook, I love the shaming of the achievement whores at the end :D

Men In Black (the first) came out in 1997, and MIB2 was in 2002

This game looks like a game kids would be playing on a TV show.

I want to watch an ER of this game, even though it would be like 5 episodes.

New subscriber feature: Making fun of people on XBL.

I demand it.

Patrick and Jeff say its good for the developer to have made this game because they fed their families, and they say "sorry" to the developer like they suffered through making this. I say don't apologize for them, THEY MADE THIS! This is exactly the type of game they make. And its not like Fun Labs have 20 good games and then suffered a set back and had to make this or close (like when Dennis Dyack and Silicon Knights made X-men Destiny). All they make are crappy games, they obviously don't care. Fun Labs SUCKS! Don't apologize for them ripping us off with Walmart games (games that sell a ton because they are put on end-caps at Walmart). They could have made a good low budget game (they exist), instead they made this. Studios don't have to put out garbage. Have some pride in your work Fun Labs!

How about the developer say "no we wont put our name on a shit game Activision?" or stand up and say "Activision, when you force us to make a shit game we get the blame, our name is stained, let us show what we can do and make an okay game?" and stand up for themselves. Instead They knowingly colluded with Activision to make a shit game and rip off the consumer. Don't apologize for them making this game (maybe some employees who already worked there and had no say in the matter), but I think this DOES accurately reflect this developer, they made this game and were willing to make it. And if you see their name on a game in the future, skip it.

Shit the gameplay programmers are all Romanian. As someone visiting family in Romania now, I feel it is my responsibility to apologize on their behalf. Trust me, they know.

I like Men in Black 2 aswell. In the movie the flying car actually has a neuralizer under it so anyone who sees it flying overhead won't remember seeing it.

Did I hear the protagonist shout "Marco" over and over again?

Reminds me of a slightly better third-person shooter...

YOU GONNA GET BUBBLED

Yes! That is the correct response!

What a gigantic piece of shit.

Hey there Goldeneye alarm sound.

What the fuck are you doing Troy Baker?!

were you that hungry? >_>

bloke in the thumbnail totally looks like Ed Miliband.

Frank the pug was a MIB agent in both Men In Black II and the animated series Patrick Klepek. I'm with Jeff Gerstmann in liking MIBII simply because getting more of the same was fine by me. Ghostbusters II was a similar situation where the sequel was by no means as good as the first movie but skated by simply on the appeal of getting to see your favorite characters again. Also Lara Flynn Boyle as a villain was a good choice and Johnny Knoxville was OK as her lackey with an extra head.

New York: Come for the Diner, stay for the Dancing

When they started looking at the achievements of other players, it became the best quick look in a long time.

Graphically this looks TERRRRRRRRIBLE.

This game is sold for $60!? People should be paid $60 to play this game. I can't believe absolute rubbish like this is still released for sale in 2012? smh. I'm just going to recommend this the the poison mushroom guy.

That guy has more emotion, charisma and has earnt more of my respect than Ed Miliband will ever have.

Rise and Kanji have to eat man.

http://activisionmoviecash.com/ is pretty good, you guys. Check it out.

I thought some of the dialog was charming.

I'm sorry.

This looks so much like an Xbox game, it's weird. I had to check to see if this was an old game or not.

This has been bugging me but, do they not know that "that dude from Saint's Row The Third" is Troy Baker? Really Jeff? You played Persona 4 for how long again, and hearing Kanji talk? And really Patrick? Didn't you play Catherine? Don't mean to criticize, but really guys? He's in almost as many games as the North man himself.

Even Joseph Gordon-Levitt took the G.I. Joe movie role. Paycheck is a paycheck man.

I assume the good Men in Black game was the PS1 game by Double Helix (of Battleship fame).

It is kinda funny that they're charging $60 for a game that looks like it's taken straight from the PS1 era too. Even the PS2 could handle more complex environments than this, and the PS1 era was when it was popular to make licensed light gun games.

IT'S THE MIBs! IT'S THE MIBs!!

This really looks like someone was making a light gun game a few years ago for download that got cancelled, and they reused the assets real quick and put out a $60 game. Or at least I truly hope that's the case, because building this effing turd specifically as a licensed product is too much money-grubbing grossness for me to handle. But yeah... gotta pay the bills I guess.

Blowing up the spots of the leaderboard gamertags was the best part.

And man...what a horrible transition. The dude is talking to the dog one second, and then all of a sudden is taking part in a car chase-looking sequence. You'd think that would mean they were skipping on the storytelling with that move,

But then they spend like 10 minutes attempting exposition in that conversation. Weird game.

so ea got voted worst company in the world because of a "bad" ending. anyone care to speculate what should happen to activision after this?

"K! He's a ballchinian.". That moment utterly detroyed any love i might have had for the sequel.

When Jeff said "Go collect the letters that spell 'Sake.'" I fucking lost it. Bravo.

Pretty sure he said Skate.

Yeah that was spelling error on my part. No sleep and dyslexia make typing fun!

A reference to the old Tony hawk games with badly dubbed voice acting.

This game looks fucking dreadful and at full price it's a disgrace.
