Attack of the Movies 3D is a rail shooter for the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360. The game transports players into six movie-themed worlds where they will battle large alien space cruisers, shoots underwater monsters and more, only to discover the reason these movies come to life.[1][2]
The game received "generally unfavorable reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[9][10] Justin Cheng of Nintendo Power criticized the short length of the levels throughout the six environments, the enemy creatures and a lack of variety amongst similar weapons, calling it "a lackluster 3-D light-gun shooter."[7]Game Informer senior editor Jeff Cork felt the different levels played identically with nondescript targets, showed a lack of "branching paths or variations in the gameplay", and called out the 3D elements for being "a mixed blessing – the game is so offensively ugly that I didn’t want it getting any closer to me than necessary." He concluded that: "The dubious benefit of the game's 3D effects is offset by its one-dimensional gameplay. Rail shooters don't get much more tedious, lifeless, or ugly than Attack of the Movies 3-D."[3]
