    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.

    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.

    Whether it's the floaty and complicated vehicle handling, the confused radar, the repetitive nature of the missions, or the random and surprising difficulty spikes, Planet 51 gives players (especially younger ones) a multitude of good reasons to stay away.

    Planet 51: The Game isn’t a bad licensed game, really, but something far worse: it’s a boring game.

    Like a dry cracker for dinner, this is very bland, very boring, and not much fun at all. [Jan 2010, p.75]

    The movie might be quite funny and entertaining, but the game isn’t. A ludicrously multiplayer mode, similar missions, technical mistakes and long loading times – and there are still more negative things in it.

    An open-world game for kids, Planet 51: The Game doesn't have a lot of very serious problems, but being very dull and uninspired is of course the biggest flaw in itself.
