You control Susan Murphy AKA Ginormica, The Missing Link and B.O.B (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate) as they platform, dash and attack through the stages. Susan is always moving on Skate Cars allowing her to dash, jump and grind on rails and walls. Link platforms around with punching, tail swinging and wall climbing. B.O.B. will spin attack, go through grates and be a turret who can shield enemies.
While the movie's basic bits with a giant robot attacking San Francisco and the monsters invading the alien mother-ship. New bits were added like the monsters tempting to escape from their containment cells and a giant robotic scorpion attacked Susan's hometown of Modesto, California. However, the events of Susan turning giant is not shown but explained in an opening skip-able cut scene.
While this is a fine movie tie-in game, if you are interested in Monsters VS Aliens then watch the film as it does a better job at showcasing the characters and what they can do.
