The slew of licensed movie games continues with Fox and Playlogic's latest tie-in game Aliens in the Attic. I have groaned more often than not that summer is always chock full of these types of games, and in recent years they have been getting increasingly better. Aliens in the Attic is a Contra clone built for the kiddies that involves some useless touch screen mechanics. If you can get past the generic dialogue, stagnant level design and effortless difficulty you have one of the more enjoyable licensed DS titles to come along in a while. Surprisingly I found myself enjoying the shooting and boss encounters a little too much at times.
As I mentioned you assume control of all three protagonists from the movie, and can swap between them at will using the shoulder buttons. Each one specializes in specific attributes for example Hannah can double jump but not attack, Jake is basically the soldier and can take more damage, while Tom is the brainpower of the operation. The quintessential character combination lends itself well enough to the game that you never feel forced to stick with one character too long. Most of the time you will be fine with Tom or Jake, but the game throws enough platforming at you to utilize Hannah enough to not make her feel worthless."
