Monsters Vs. Aliens: The Video game,
 officially
confirming a European launch. The title is currently scheduled for a
March 2009 release on Xbox360, PLAYSTATION3, Wii, PlayStation2,

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Based on the upcoming DreamWorks Animation 3D feature film, the
Monsters vs. Aliens video game puts the fate of the planet in
players’ hands as they lead a dynamic team of five misfit monsters
on a mission to save the world…as only they can. The game allows
fans to experience the movie’s action and humor while playing as The
Missing Link, the macho half-ape, half-fish; the gelatinous,
indestructible and always hungry B.O.B.; and Ginormica, the
49-foot-11-inch tall woman and Insectosaurus, the 350-foot tall
grub. Players utilize each character’s distinct strengths, sizes and
abilities to battle giant alien robots that are wreaking havoc on
earth. Friends or family members can join in the excitement at
anytime as the world’s most brilliant scientist, Dr. Cockroach,
Ph.D., in the unique co-op multiplayer mode.
