Story:
Having not seen the movie yet, I can only assume this ties in after Megamind decides to be a hero rather than a villian. The game doesn't really introduce the characters at all, just drops you into the game after a quick cutscene at the beginning of the game. You are tasked with finding pieces of a DNA tracking machine and pieces of DNA held by 3 bosses to find the final boss of the game. Fairly straightforward, mainly because with the exception of some minigames unlocked as you progress, the next level is highlighted on the map once the previous level is finished.
Graphics:
Standard fare here, though I didn't notice any graphical glitches, there were a few in game scenes where the characters mouths didn't move when talking. Quite colorful but nothing groundbreaking.
Gameplay:
Very simple platforming and level exploration. There are no real puzzles beyond pull this pin, press this button, or use this gun to shoot this barrel/knock it over with air from this other gun. The game also saves you backtracking by setting the gun you need pretty much right before you need it. You also collect blue orbs called B.I.N.K.E.Y. used to upgrade your (technically) 4 weapons. You are also able to replay any level already finished to collect more orbs should you need to upgrade your weapons to max.
One thing I would like to comment on is while the platforming is fairly standard fare, jumping to small boxes in water, mostly in the sewer levels, is insanely frustrating. I found myself coming up short, missing left or right, or landing perfectly, when suddenly Megamind would slide off randomly. Unless you are going for the specific achievement of not dying in a level, this won't be a terrible thing to deal with, as there's only a 50 B.I.N.K.E.Y. pentalty for dying, but it's still a bit frustrating.
Controls:
One of the more simple games to pick up and play, the (default) controls are X to shoot, A to jump, and B to interact with buttons and the like. You both move and, to an extent, aim with the left stick.
Achievements:
A rather simple movie tie-in game, worth an easy 1000 points in about 3-4 hours worth of playtime. Nothing too hard here, not even real collectables. A few achievements for beating the bosses without dying, and getting through a level without dying. The rest will unlock through story and for collecting enough orbs, which are gained by killing enemies, breaking inanimate objects, and just finding them on the levels. Definately a rental for easy achievements, nothing more.
Oh, and I'll add that although the game has 2 player co-op, only the first player playing as Megamind will recieve achievements.
*Thanks for the feedback*
