Men in Black: Alien Crisis does exactly everything wrong. The story, the graphics, the sound, the gameplay – everything is crap. It's another good example how a licensed game should not be.
Ugly, boring, and brazenly priced, MIB: Alien Crisis is an absolute embarrassment.

A true masterpiece of video games. With great graphics, game-play, and one of the best stories I've ever seen in video games. Much like Battleship this was a great game that lasts a very long time.

Men in black alien crisis
a mildly enjoyable time
The story starts out with a creep in shades wanting an antient Egyptian book.
he wants this book so he can control the mind of a certain lady.
And that pretty much sums the tone up of the entire game.
Its playful and unserious.
The dialog can be pretty funny depending on the sense of humor you have, I found myself actually laughing during my play through
Alien Crisis is an on rails shooter, that’s is the ultimate downside of this game.
Everything is fast paced, but it still feels suffocating having absolutely no control over level progression.
You can only move right and left until all enemies in front of you have been killed and then you move forward about 10 feet and do it all again.
Luckily even though this game is extremely repetitive it never feels repetitive.
The game follows a lather rinse repeat cycle of cover based shooting sections to vehicle blasting sections to stealth sections to boss fights.
The pattern is noticeable, but not enough to make it feel lazy.
The levels are varied enough to never make you feel like you’ve done everything before even though you have.
The gameplay for the most part feels fun and fluent, you get 5 different guns that all handle differently, essentially a pistol, a crossbow, a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a unique pistol sized weapon than acts almost like a grenade launcher.
You also get a few perks like a shield and anti-gravity grenades.
These perks are where the game can make you a bit frustrated.
For whatever reason, they aren’t really reliable. I tried to activate my shield multiple times with a filled bar with no luck.
You aren’t really ever given rules when you can and can’t use something, but clearly they exist in the game.
I’m just not sure what these rules are.
It feels very broken.
There is also a split screen competitive mode with 12 maps that you can try to out shoot your friend in.
It’s basically the same thing as the campaign with an opponent.
While the story is very forgettable, and the game can be beaten in only a handful of hours, I still enjoyed my time with it.
Despite men in black alien crisis not being a very good game technically, I actually still recommend a play through.

Spectacularly miserable licensed fare - a tie-in game that recalls the bad old days when a movie title was leased out to some mom-and-pop developer in the middle of Siberia and put together with the help of a broken woollen loom and old chopsticks.
Well..., this game is bad, it was fun for the first 2 hour, but after you have played for almost 6/7 hours, well it's very boring......, the onlly thing good are the DUB.

Well the only way to describe this is like Time Crisis but with none of the charm, and some how worse voice acting. This game is bad because it commits the worst sin a video game can commit it is BORING!! Repetitive every enemy you blast feels like your blasting away your own brain cells. I would never pay £40 for this game the £4 used price I got it for is a far better estimate of it's value. It stinks of typical cash-in for the movie. The story is so boring and you will wonder what the hell is going on often, it was so bad I turned the sound off and put an audio book on.
Also a side note NO SUBTITLES!!!! I hate it when have games no subtitles. I am not deaf but it can be hard to hear what characters are saying but due to the rubbish dialogue that is probably a blessing.
The Good- The ending credits
The bad- The rest of it
The ugly- GOD I AM BORED!!!
Better than- The Walking Dead Survival Instinct
Worse than - Everything else
VERDICT 2/10 Like putting your testicles in a paper shredder.

What an epic FAIL ****! It's so incompetently made. Another rushed movie-tie in game that defines the words 'God', and 'Awful'. The story, which is basically non-existent is poorly acted and the lip movements don't match up to what the characters are saying. EVER! Not even once! Besides that, the choice system that you get is entirely pointless since you always end up with the same outcome in the story. The characters are extremely annoying when they're conversing in battles and the jokes are in such poor taste. Every mechanic of the game is broken! The item pick-up requires you to aim your crosshair to get that item but it only picks up at a very precise moment. The enemies are bland, cutter-cutter pasted enemies over stretched out levels which are a bore to playthrough. Hell, just aim and shoot the screen and you'll kill everything in sight 95% of the time. Where you can move your crosshair is constrictive aswell, since there are mandatory stealth sections where you sometimes have to shoot an alien or object that is just out of sight. Though that isn't frustrating at all since the game is so easy. The aiming is so sensitive aswell which means you will try to aim at something and then the crosshair will shift slightly to the left or right. You have no option to turn this off, so if constant positioning of the screen annoys you, you can't do anything about it. The graphics are absolutely abysmal, but atleast they aren't so bad the game is unplayable. It's playable but just barely. Only positive thing I can say about it, even though it's a crap game atleast it has the decency to be easy and there are hardly any glitches. To conclude, it's just another shameful movie-tie game which the developers should be ashamed of. Absolutely no effort went into this game; so please, spare yourself the effort of playing it.
@Uncle_Oinker Are you trolling?
