Ever seen a movie in 3D and wished you could shoot the crap out of everything on screen?
Developed for Wii by Panic Button Games and published by Majesco, Attack of the Movies 3D wants to put you right in the thick of the action of your favorite types of movies. Want to shoot aliens? Boom! Fight the machine army? Ka-pow! Battle underwater critters? Torped-ouch!
It even comes with four sets of 3D glasses so you and three other people can play and wave your hands in front of you, futilely trying to grab what we all know isn't there.
Without screens it's tough to judge exactly what type of shooter this is, but our Batman-rivaling powers of deduction peg it as on-rails. Expect to see the game on European shelves sometime this summer. Want to see the press release? Bam! Down there.

I rather suspect that this will turn out to be a particularly uninspired on-rails shooter that sells by virtue of its gimmick.
This could either be excellent or woeful. There is no middle ground. I'm gonna lean towards 'woeful' on first impressions. Or they just have a really bad press release writer.
Hope it does well. Definitely has potential.
I remember that robot fighting game in 3D that didn't turn out very well... here's hoping this one does better. However, another on-rails shooter... Ill just have to wait and see.
So then like Toy Story Mania in 3D for the Wii, a gimmick.
I don't get too excited for 3-D films (still haven't bothered seeing Avatar), so the 3-D games get the same reaction from me..."meh...". I am somewhat interested in trying that Toy Story Mania game if it ever gets down really cheap (I'm thinking $15 or so), because I believe it is based after a ride at Disney in California.
I remember Sly 3 had 3-D parts with 3-D glasses...it was crap(but the game itself was good)
Missed opportunity for head-tracking.
Exellent idea!
Hope it works out.
In my opinion 3-D is a wasted idea. I have never happened across a working pair of 3D glasses and in stead of having the desired effect i get a head ache from watching a film in doubled vision.
Is this game going to use those red and blue lens 3d glasses? Because if it does, then this is going to fail. It's an interesting idea, but nobody has been able to do it effectively on a video game console. Toy Story Mania is a step in the right direction, but your better off going on the actual ride at Disney World than playing the home version. Oh, and cool video diego! It would be interesting to see a game that uses head tracking rather than gimmicky glasses.
im the only one i think that played and liked jim power the lost dimention in 3d.
3D like in theaters is not the kind of 3D you will get at home. At home you still need the reb/blue yellow/purple whatever color glasses. The technology isnt there to replicate that experience at home cheaply. Therefore the red/blue glasses is what you will be getting if you get this game. Also if you haven't seen Avatar, what is your problem? It is one of the most beautiful and engaging movies ever. See it in 3D.
It's Majesco they pride themselves on crap, I mean "casual" games. Which some how means crap in many circles. The only Majesco games I'm at all interested in are Dawn of Heroes and Flip's Twisted World.
Don't knock Majesco too hard, they did give us BlastWorks and will be treating us to Data East Arcade Classics!
And they published A Boy and His Blob, lest we forget!
Please don't attack my Wii with 3D movies, and don't make me wear those glasses.
