    Planet 51 is a decent attempt at a movie based game, its main problem though is that it is just no fun.

    Children under 10 who dig the movie will get some decent entertainment out of what is essential GTA for kids. However, the uneven difficulty, technical issues and uninspired story keep this game from being anything other than passable entertainment.
  3. PSX Extreme

    Planet 51 just doesn’t deliver. The entire production feels bare and a little watered down, and the technical hang-ups continue to persist throughout the game.

    Sadly, Planet 51 is a classic bad tie in; despite its young target, the title misses the point, and even if you loved the movie you won't be compelled by the boring gameplay.
