Product Description

The earth is under invasion by a horde of alien brain thingys! Humans, succumbing to ray-guns, mind-control and shiny flying saucers, have failed to defend their planet and let it fall easily into the clutches of the Big Brain and his army of brain thingys. The only hope left for mankind are three teenage zombies that have risen from a graveyard disturbed in the invasion. The undead trio ignores their normal human victims in favor of the pulsing pink brains they see EVERYWHERE - all the while being lured to the ultimate lunch: THE BIG BRAIN! The Big Brain soon realizes he's overlooked this "Super Race" as they inexplicably resist mind-control, are unaffected by ray-gun wounds, and devour his brain thingy armies like sweets! He refocuses his efforts and resources to battle the earth's greatest champions: The Teenage Zombies!

Customer Reviews

A Short Thrill
The concept of the game is cute, and the graphics are all right, but it definitly reminds me of an earlier gaming era. It's fun enough but not a favorite.

Fun concept, but a little too boring.
I bought this game on a whim, not knowing anything about it (it was on sale :)). I thought it looked like a really funny concept. The whole "Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys" had me chuckling. After playing it, however, it just isn't complex enough for my tastes. The graphics are good, the zombie characters are "cute", and the storyline is interesting enough, but the gameplay itself is just way too repetitive and uninteresting to keep me playing for longer than a few minutes at a time. I actually really wanted to love this game, so I'm a tad disappointed in the gameplay. Plus, having to change zombies every 30 seconds gets a little old. I would have like it more if it were a bit more like, say, Yoshi's Island where you switch characters once or twice per level.

I still give it 3 stars just because the idea and storyline are fun. I just wish the creators had given the game a bit more diversity with the gameplay itself.

Lost Vikings Clone?
Anybody who has ever played a Lost Vikings game back in the day will be familiar with this game...

It's the same concept, same mechanics..you have three zombies, and you have to use each one for their unique special abilities in order to get through the levels, which are pretty much giant mazes/puzzles.

The graphics are nice for DS, and look like a comic book. There's voice overs too for intros and cut scenes.

The game is fun if you like the Lost Viking style of gaming, but with that said it's a short game, and not worth full price.

Buy it for 10 bucks or so where available, but dont pay more than that.
