Meanwhile, the Saberlizer allows you to scan objects and items in the environment for more information such as enemy weaknesses and how to unlock doors.
You can take these trinkets and upgrade your weapons at kiosks throughout the game's five mission locales. When you defeat these wacky machines (most of which have razor sharp teeth and appliance-related attacks), they'll leave behind the standard health packs, ammo, and SaberSense Chips, which are the game's currency. Whereas the other weapons are assigned to the face buttons of the controller and limited by how much ammo you have, the whip's always at your disposal and great for up-close attacks - a quick crack can take down the toasters and computer mice that get in your way. Still, the devices you'll be using the most are the Electro-Whip and Saberlizer. The Plasma Gun lets you take down enemies in the distance, the Cluster Rifle's like a machine gun and the NanoHacker turns the machines that you're fighting into your allies. You'll play as Darwin with a hover/jetpack strapped to your furry back and a number of weapons and gadgets at your disposal.
Although it tosses in a driving mission here and there, G-Force is primarily a third-person shooter. You just want to play, and G-Force gives you those opportunities in spades. If you're going to run out and see this epic animated tale or already have the DVD preordered, you probably don't need to play through the same stuff you saw on the big screen and hear all the same stuff you heard in a crowded theater. If you're even thinking about buying G-Force, I'm just assuming you and your family are pretty jazzed for the film. Should this matter to you or your children? No. Somewhere in the beginning of the game, the team starts complaining about missing Speckles but they don't say what happened to him or who he is and then the mole (?) reappears and doesn't explain where he was or how he got out. Yeah, I could Wikipedia this, rewatch the trailer, or go talk to some kid on the street, but I've avoided those avenues just so you'd see how little story this title provides.
