Synopsis In Attack of the Movies 3D, players take on the role of the hero in their favorite action film by battling through six 3D movie-themed worlds! Using genre-based weapons within each scene, players fight off attacking enemies including zombies, robots, giant insects and more. Attack of the Movies 3D comes packaged ready for action with four pairs of 3D glasses to support multiplayer mode. Players can defeat enemies with the help of up to three friends while still competing to see who achieves the highest score, or play in single player mode and fight alone. Additionally, branching paths and changing enemy attack patterns ensure that – unlike the real movies – players will never fight the same battle twice. Features: All in glorious 3-D!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars It’s them or us!
To start this game you get one profile to kill Insects. You play 2D or 3D. You get 4 pairs of 3D glasses. I could not beat the boss the first night I played this. I didn’t use the Zapper though. If you don’t beat the boss he climbs the building and you continue on until you get to the checkpoint. You have 3 lives but there are 1 ups in the game you can shoot and First Aid targets as well as Rapid Fire and Triple

Fire. The yellow circles are bonuses you can earn. Just try to beat the Giant Lobster!

5 Stars great family shooter game
This game is great.. If your looking for a family friendly “shooter”, this is it. And being around $30, it’s not to hard on the wallet. It comes with 4 pairs of 3D glasses, so even if you just watching the game being played, you can still take part in the fun. There is also a 2D option, if the glasses give you eye strain. I played the 3D option for a while, and it never really bothered me. Now as far as the 3D features go, it’s impressive. Not a HUGE feature, but the 3D element is there. Each level takes you into an environment that resembles most action flicks that we all have seen at one point. The movement through the level is pre-determined, so all you have to do is point the Wii remote, and fire. Really simple. But it’s still a challenging game.. The musical score is great, and it really draws you into the game. My wife sat and watched me play for a while, and even she was impressed with the game play. Overall, a great game for extended play, or great to play in small doses..

4 Stars WANTING to love it
We have been playing this game for two days straight.

The good news: it’s simple, point and shoot, shake to reload, it’s fun to see the characters coming at you, up to 4 people can play and you can join in at any time, it’s challenging.

The bad news: it’s a little too challenging. We are all fairly good gamers, but NONE of us can even get past the first level. Even with 2 of us playing we cannot get past the ants to get to any other movies. SO, if anyone knows the trick, PLEASE let us know. We seem to die even when we are hitting all the bugs, upgraded guns and med packs.
