Haven't seen the movie yet, but I found out there is a game...

Anyone played it?

Reviews? Scores?

(please don't say movie games are bad, just asking if anyone has actually played it or seen it)

Very short(just under two hours, and I play slow), can only use three weapons, graphics aren't terrible, the controls are meh, sprint blows and it's only 10 bucks.\

I was bored yesterday...don't judge me. It's an AVERAGE movie game.

Better than Terminator: Salvation...? Is it a prequel to the movie? or do I need to see the movie first?

Terminator: Salvation was MUCH better than this game.

I haven't seen the movie, though. So I can't tell you if it's part of the storyline or just a reduced version of it.

Cloverfield got a 64/100 on Metacritic and Battlefield:LA got a 37/100. Ouch. I liked Cloverfield, and I haven't seen B:LA, however judging from the trailer it looks like absolute garbage. One of my friends saw it, said it was pretty bad, was pretty much just an action porn movie with no depth.

Cloverfield was good and original. This one is getting bad reviews all over the place. Basically if you want a war movie with aliens and no thinking, it's good for that....

It's Black Hawk Down with aliens. If you go in expecting that you'll enjoy the movie just fine.

I thought the trailers looked like most of the console shooters that have come out lately. "Evil aliens invade and only US marines can save the planet!", with "Mad World" playing in the background. :P

Haven't played the game but to answer your question, the movie is more of a war film. It's light on the emotional aspects and not very terrifying at all...(not that I expected a horror film).

Yeah, very short game man, played it to the end yesterday and racked up less than 50 minutes of gameplay according to Steam! Yeah, that short.

Very short(just under two hours, and I play slow), can only use three weapons, graphics aren't terrible, the controls are meh, sprint blows and it's only 10 bucks.\

No idea how you got 2 hours out of the game lol, I thought I played games kind of slow -- in particular enjoying first person shooters that don't lead by the hand or tightly control pacing and allow wider "exploration" off the beaten-path if desired. For example games more in the style of Crysis as opposed to COD, however, Battlefield LA is much more similar in style to COD. Not that the latter style cannot provide a fun ride, the greatest compliment I can give the game is at the end I really wanted to keep playing!! Although on second thought that might have been to due to playing for less than 50 minutes.

Sprint is an exercise in futility as already mentioned, however, controls and shooting mechanics were tight, the gameplay was fun (enough) and familiar. Although the game suffered from mainstream-ification with lack of prone and lean (what's new? it's 50 minutes long, you won't notice, but....I suppose I did). I was more disappointed that it didn't properly support 16:10 widescreen aspect-ratio, i.e. black bars top and bottom of screen for 1650X1080, 1920X1200, etc.

Visuals were good enough to get the job done considering it's a $10 game, the Saber 3D engine (at least in it's TimeShift implementation) dazzled much better on PC than on consoles. Not sure if that's still the case, however, I'd say it's a mixed-bag on the PC -- loving the explosions, hating the weapon models as one example. I know there will be those that will delight in the comic-book presentation of the cut-scenes, but for me personally those were atrocious! "Yo, we have no budget left for our budget game. Kenny down the hall knows flash animation doesn't he? Let's have him put together some cut-scenes for us. Yeaahhh, that'll work. Awesome son!"

Not worth more than the $10 asking price, but not the worst you've played either.

I played the demo on the 360, it's decent, but that's it, I've spent less money on much worse games (Necrovision for example).

Also, Cloverfield original? LOL

Please don't give pay money for this game. Its 10$ for ONE hour of gameplay. Think of all the other great and fantastic games you can buy for only 10$.

I liked Cloverfield, (I saw it cheap and bought it for a friend, we had to skip the terrible party scene though.)

I saw a TV spot for it, which was like 30 seconds of the most interesting stuff in the movie and I though that it look about average, until I saw the title. I nearly exploded in laughter.

I haven't played, probably won't and I'm not going to get the game. If you want a summer action movie game, I suggest Legendary. Gamespot doesn't like it, but it gets fun after the first level.

I watcheda trailer for the movie, and some of it looks kind of good (the action sequences, the destruction, the soldiers) but the rest looks bad. I'd put money on that the director/writer live in LA and couldn't bothered to leave LA, so he replaced whatever city that was written in to LA.
