In terms of television shows that needed a video game adaptation, Falling Skies falls somewhere between Rizzoli & Isles and How I Met Your Mother.
Hardcore Gamer: Consider me your FDA inspector of all things gaming related, pointing out what you shouldn’t consume because it has traces of spider eggs and hedgehog quills in it.
I can just imagine exploring through the thick jungle holding a M60 finding bases and blowing them up with bullets.
Cubed3:
"A good TV show such as Falling Skies and a good gameplay concept like the one from the XCOM games - what could possibly go wrong? For anyone who has ever picked up a licensed game before, the answer should be obvious: everything.
This is the official Falling Skies videogame, based around a very solid gameplay model, mainly paying homage to turn-based strategy game series XCOM. This might sound like a perfect fit at first, and maybe in an alternative reality in which licensed games were given more attention it would have been, but this ends up being a disappointment. Cubed3 recently took on the Nintendo Wii U eShop exclusive release that hit the US market, and now it is time to look at what European fans of the show can pick up: the PlayStation 3 edition."
NLife:
"Video games have relied on the standard 'alien invasion' plot since the very beginning. It takes a unique twist to make it work in this day and age, whether it's a new gameplay style or a refreshingly original storyline, and that isn't an easy task. Falling Skies: The Game takes fun, tactical gameplay and blends it with the expansive setting of a popular TNT drama series, managing to make a mess of both in the process."
