Quick Look: Men in Black: Alien Crisis

@thesage: For $60 no less.

Activision's decision to reduce the dev time really shows along with not helping out the in-experienced team. Bravo for the shittest looking game.

Seriously old gen consoles produce better looking stuff than this, smh

Hrm. I see I may be the only one who found Patrick annoying in this? I always find him to make these extreme, hyperbolic statements throughout quick looks for bad games, especially if he's not the one playing it. Not to say this game doesn't deserve cynicism, but it's a bit embarrassing to hear someone apologising to the development team, force exasperation and constantly ask "what is this" at everything shown. The game was funny, but the commentary was like Jeff alongside a 15-year-old LPer on YouTube.

The animated series was actually more entertaining than MIB II. Agent "L" from the end of MIB 1 was a major character instead of being discarded like in MIB II.

What's the point of having a dialogue choice if there's only one choice allowed? That's crazy. Really nothing about this game makes much sense.

I wonder if Jeff's choices will carry over into Men In Black Alien Crisis II.

Wow...I thought this was a Wii game. Then the first action sequence came and the LS and RB buttons popped up. What the hell? How does a game as blocky looking at this get released?!

Looks like an old PC title for the most part. the Aliens seems to have some newer sheders on them but apart from that it seems like it's from 2002...

I wonder why they don't license a non completely crap game engine, at least they could cover up the awful models and animations... that said. I suppose it would make some sense if this was an arcade cabinet... but you have to wonder if these things actually sell.

Lol its awesome how this quick look slowly turns into a social commentary on shitty development teams and publishers...

Oh man, this game is just full of fun little quirks.

for 60 bucks it's highway robbery .

Every time the main character says Chauncey, I think of my dude in Saints row the Third saying Shaundi.

@EnduranceFun: Wow, no one has white knighted for Patrick in response to your comment in a good 10 hours.

That's because no one took his comment seriously... :-/

I can't...I have been trying to come up with something to say about this game for three days (I have a job with a LOT of downtime), and I am utterly at a loss. SIXTY DOLLARS for something that would've been embarrassing on the PS2.

Hasty generalisation, bub.

PS2 era graphics and Light Gun support? Started as a Wii game and they remembered they both had a Light Gun and could charge 60 as opposed to 50 on the 360

Here's Jeff's review of the supposed "good" Men in Black game he reviewed way back in 2002:

THIS GAME IS $60 DOLLARS!!!

@ZombiePie: Good find. This was pre-jaded Jeff. However, I guess it was a sign of the times if this was considered good.

I'd play this game all the way through and probably enjoy it, if it was $10, and I had a light gun, but I don't and it isn't.

Too bad.

Huh. Video thumbnail kinda looks like mannequin Vinny.

No Will Smith? Psh...

kinda weird hearing Troy Baker in this

If this game was ten bucks them maybe a parent would of bought it for their 10 year old, but at 60 bucks, that would be like punishment.

Lara Flynn Boyle's recent oeuvre: Life Is Hot in Cracktown, Cougar Hunting, and Black Forest: Hansel and Gretel & the 420 Witch.

Thus, Men in Black 2 is saved.

Meh, pile of failure.

Same alarm noise as goldeneye :/

I thought he was talking about the original MIB game from the playstation 1

God this game is awful

Twin Peaks IS good.
