Reviews for "They Live: The Game"

Great tribute to They Live and Roddy Piper...but for a game I think it has some major, major difficulty issues (or I don't know how to play :D). What I mean by difficulty is that for quite some time I couldn't get past the second wave of enemies. If I wasn't as fan of your work I don't think I would have bothered to play for as long as I did. But if your sole reason was to make a cool, creative tribute you succeeded (which kinda negates my entire critique).

P.S. I liked "Hell comes to frogtown" more ;)

Thanks a real lot man.

A fun game based off a great film.
The medals work, and I earned them all.

Quite fun, though once you learn the art of it (stand in the stairwell or behind the desk, use sunglasses for short bursts to achieve combos, make sure you cock your gun before you shoot) you can level up to the max very quickly. Shame you only dramatized this one scene from the movie, as it gets quite repetitive and the replay value wears off pretty soon after you level up.

Don't play it as a game, enjoy it as an omage.
i can feel the esence of the movie in just one stage.

I am so glad some one gets this.

Pro-tips: #.1 Your multiplier is determined by the # of aliens you see killed with the glasses on (W). #2. Your final score (equivalent to the cash you'll get for the whole run) is multiplied by your HIGHEST multiplier (e.g. 5k w/a 5x multiplier is 25k total). #3. Leaving from the entrance ends the round. #4. Diving out the door (D) is the best way to end the run, as they can still shoot you from behind during the fade-out. #5. Dying takes more than half your money away.

This game is honestly not that hard, it just takes some learning to get all medals.

Strat: Camp in the top-right corner (beside the teller), you'll be safe here, and wait for the six cops to group up on the other side of the desk. Throw on the glasses (W), move down a tad, blast 'em (S), run back up, don't forget to reload (A!), repeat. The grind to 100k (THE GOLDEN RULE), this way, only takes about 16,666 (i.e. 100k/6), that is, if you're just getting the 6x combo. However, after a point the cops will simply spawn and rush to bunch up in that corner, so getting the x13 combo (KICKING ASS!) is just as simple. Keep the glasses on for two bunch-ups and use your special; you'll get the whole OBEY medal sheet easy as f**k.
