Gamespot: Planet 51 Wii Review
The animated film Planet 51 turns 1950’s sci-fi about Earth being invaded by little green men on its ear. Life on the titular planet very much resembles the stereotypical vision of 1950’s America, but the inhabitants are little green men (and women), and the alien invader is an American astronaut. It’s a charming concept, but a bland presentation and serious control issues turn what should be an enjoyable excursion to a pleasant alien world into an experience that even the most patient young players will find dull and frustrating.
The Good:
* Wide variety of tasks
The Bad:
* Poor controls take all the fun out of driving
* Story is incoherent and poorly told
* Visuals are bland, with a stuttering frame rate
* Many missions are dull and frustrating
