Gears of War for kids is no less fun. As long as you can stomach talking rodents.

In G-force, you play as a guinea pig who has a gun, an electric whip, a remote controlled fly, and a jetpack. You are out to stop some corporation that has turned all it's electronic appliances into killer robots or something, and blah blah blah.

Yeah, I'm not going to see the movie either.

G-force borrows elements from today's shooters and platformers, and ends up feeling like a combination of Gears of War and God of War. It works pretty well. The rest of the appeal comes from the sense of scale. It reminds me a lot of games like Katamari Damacy, Toy Commander or Mr. Mosquito. It's fun being tiny! Thankfully, most of the gameplay is spent in combat, and is pretty short on puzzles and "collectibles". It doesn't feel like a kid's game apart from the rodents.

I only played the demo, but now I'm excited to play the whole game! The only reason I didn't run right out and buy this is that I don't like dropping $60 on a game if I don't have to. I usually don't do that unless I'm really chomping at the bit to have it.

But as soon as the price drops down around $20-25, I'll be picking this up for sure.
