Plot

The game is based on the movie, which takes place after the team escapes from the pet store, Juarez and Blaster's new home, and Kip and other FBI agents, and gives players the ability to play as Darwin and Mooch to fight against Leonard Saber, the evil billionaire and his robotic "household appliances" army.

The game plot differs from the movie in several key ways. Where the game picks up, Speckles is missing until the final scenes of the movie. In the video game Speckles reappears immediately saying that he escaped the pet store. The video game interjects several new locations including the production center and sewers not scene in the movie. The game also ends differently, Speckles does not have a change of heart, instead Mooch destroys the machine and in the final moments of the game, Speckles hand emerges from the wreckage, implying he has survived.

The PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 versions feature an anaglyph-based stereoscopic 3-D mode, and were packaged with two sets of 3-D glasses.[2]

Reception

The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms except the iOS version, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]

Some liked the 3D mode of most console versions. GamesMaster said of the Xbox 360 version: "Don't underestimate the wow factor of the 3D mode - if this is the future of games, sign us up."[20] IT Reviews, on the other hand, said of the same console version, "The 3D glasses bundled in are a gimmick at best, a one-way trip to a headache at worst." But on the positive side, they also concluded that "G-Force is decent, solid, chipper family entertainment."[36]

GameSpot said of the PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 versions: "Fun combat and crafty puzzles make this a good companion to the blockbuster movie."[21][23] However, Game Revolution criticised the "repetitive puzzle design [and] bland visuals."[19]
