Meanwhile there is a long list of great films and there is as yet no end. Planet 51 is scheduled for the end of this year and it is an animated film to look forward to. It is produced by Ilion Animation Stidios, located in the Spanish capital Madrid and the script writers who know what they are doing, namely because they were also responsible for Shrek. Planet 51 promised to be a nice animation and if you have never heard of, but then once you go looking for the trailers. We focus primarily on the Planet 51 game, because it has also a habit is like a game of it."

"Aliens. Ooh, scary! We read about mysterious aliens coming to earth, searching for intelligent life and failing to find it in the US. We read how they kidnap poor trailer trash hillbillies and do all sorts of nasty probes. We see movies of the little green men using ray guns to vaporise everything and everyone in their way. We listen to music that sometimes sounds like the artists are from another planet. And finally we play games about aliens coming to our planet and scaring babies. But in Planet 51, the whole concept has been turned on its head."

We've actually seen a few pretty decent efforts already; The Bourne Conspiracy and Kung Fu Panda have been solid and worthwhile, which is why I go into such reviews with an open mind. Unfortunately, Planet 51 is a step backwards due to somewhat sluggish controls, a style of gameplay that forces the player to complete trivial and extremely boring "missions," and an overall lack of immersion."
Planet 51 is an okay way to kill a few hours, if you're really so time-rich you can afford to waste your precious life driving very slowly around a dull alien planet. It's not horrendous, but it's light-years away from great.
