OK... MIB is a very good concept for movies and games, but this title isn't the best (FOR FAR), but isn't the worst... an for my point of view this is the Pros and Cons

Pros
1-Real Challenging game... when you sit in front your TV... you must do 2 things.... first, quit like a looser... or move fast ant try to end the level... 'cause theres no way that you can save your progress during the level.
2- Graphics... could be better.
3-Bosses, I already finished 4 levels and the bosses are not so difficult... but reach them is the pain in the ...

Cons...
1- The music... oooouuuuchhhh!!![...], some times you will think on turn off the volume.
2- The caracters... where is Tommy Lee and Will Smith...
3- The Voices...same thing
4- Keep the upgrades on your weapons... is real difficult... when you reach their maximun power is very easy to kill a dozen of aliens... but each time that you get shoot, you loose your upgrades...
5- The SAVE thing... why you cant save your progress during the level?

So please save yourself [...]... and rent it. OR IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT::: I SELL MINE just [...]...:-)

(This is a review that I originally wrote on 08/18/2002)
----------------------------------------

I bought this game because I like Men In Black and I figured that it would be a good game. I couldn't be any more wrong.

Gameplay

The whole premise of the game is this: you go from room to room (or area to area) and kill everything that moves (except for the "worm dudes" whom you're supposed to rescue ... or something like that).

There are five big levels broken up into sections, which too many semi-long load screen in between.

Considering that all you do in the game is shoot things, I really wonder why the programmers didn't give the player an Aim button. Then again, they didn't give a Jump button, either (jumping surely would have broken up the monotony of the game).

The most fun I had in the game was destroying all the cars on the parking garage levels. You don't get any points for it, and it doesn't accomplish a goal, but it sure was fun!

Story

An alien prison ship crash lands on Earth, the bad aliens escape, and you have to kill them. That's all the plot there is and it's probably all you'll need.

I've seen the first film, but I've never seen MIB2. However, from what I know about it, the plot of this game is nothing like it. Rather than calling it "Men in Black 2: Alien Escape," Infogrames should have just called it "Men in Black: Alien Escape." That way no one would think it was even remotely like the recent film.

The only aspect of the game that, I think, is like the film (assuming I was able to deduce enough of the film's plot correctly from the trailers) is a small bit of the ending involving the Statue of Liberty and a Neurolizer.

Audio/Video

In all honesty, I didn't pay too much attention to the audio, except for the voice actors. They were pretty good, but let's face it, Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, and Rip Torn are the guys we know as Agents K, J, and Zed respectively, and no one is going to be able to play those roles better. They tried to model the characters and hire voices that resemble Tommy, Will, and Rip, but unless they hired the actual actors and got permission to use their likenesses, it's always going to look like a cheap imitation ... which it does.

The weapon graphics were a little flashy, but considering the MIB's arsenal, I expected more flash from the weapons (and where's the Noisy Cricket, by the way?).

The environments were the WORST! They all look bland, muddy, washed-out, and extremely repetitive (especially on the spaceship at the end where every corridor looks just like the last).

Replayability

To make up for the short and boring game, Infogrames threw in a bunch of unlockables to make you want to play the game again. Unfortunately, they're simply not worth unlocking. I used a cheat code to unlock everything and here's what you'd get: a couple training missions of you in one room shooting an endless supply of aliens (shouldn't these be available from the start as TRAINING for the main game?), profiles of J and K, Boss mode (fight the bosses again), profiles of all the aliens in the game (all of whom are boring and not in the films, except for the manitoba [worm guys]), and a bunch of still frames detailing the making of the game (not the movie). Yawn.

To buy or to rent?

Rent.

All the reviewers are correct about the game being hard but i say who doesn't like a good challenge!! You need quick reflexes and exprience. Don't let this throw off over time you'll get the hang of it!! I strongly suggest you rent it before you buy it!

Rent it before you buy it.

... You've got 3 lives but
you have to against millions Alien, with all you cool
weapons but can't kill them all. It's a fun shooting game
if you just want to shoot a round. Also, this game takes a
long time to load. Or is it just my PSII have this problem?
My suggestion is rent it first.

Good game but long misions.

This was my first game for my Playstation 2. This is a pretty good game. But the game was very hard in missions 3 and 4. The last mission was easy. I finished the last mision in about two hours.

Missions in this game are really long. I don't really games with endless waves of aliens. And you can't save a game until you finish the mission that means that if there are four levels you can't save after completing level 2. The game Auto-saves when a level is completed but when you abort a mission or turn off your Ps2 you can't return to level 2... you start the mission over AGAIN.

I don't know if there is AI but if so it is very predictable.

Pro:
Great graphics.
Sound.
Fast game play.
Use six weapons. (duel pistals like Jango Fett!)

Cons:
LONG missions.
Training missions are locked until you complete the missions.

For the codes... Find them your self.

THIS GAME WAS NO GOOD!

the only thing you do in this game is shoot aliens that never seem to stop regenerating. It gets real boring, real fast. My advice, dont rent or buy this game. there are some cheats, but that still doesnt add fun. Hope this review is some use to you.
