MINNEAPOLIS, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Grab your black
sunglasses and suit up for extraterrestrial warfare because
Men In Black: Alien Crisis™, from Activision
Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard
Inc., (Nasdaq: ATVI), hits retail shelves today. Gamers can
finally fulfill their dreams of becoming the ultimate MIB agent and
saving the world from a hostile alien takeover, just like renowned
agents J and K in Men In Black™ 3, in theaters this
Friday, May 25, 2012. The
Men in Black: Alien Crisis video game is available
nationwide for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3
computer entertainment system, and the Wii™ system from Nintendo,
and is rated "T" (Teen) by the ESRB.
In Men In Black: Alien Crisis, gamers take on the
role of MIB agent Peter Delacoeur, rising to fight against an alien
ploy to take over Earth. In this third-person arcade shooter,
the good guys in black will blast through intense alien shootouts,
dodging enemy fire while trying to drive the scum of the universe
back into outer space with upgradable weapons like MIB's famous
Noisy Cricket, Plasma Handgun, and more. And with elite
guards watching players' every step, they must also secretly
interrogate suspects in order to uncover evil intergalactic
conspiracies. Men In Black: Alien Crisis not
only gives gamers the classic MIB agent look and gear, but also
puts them behind the wheel of the tricked out MIB car, with epic
chases flying around the city in pursuit of aliens on the run.
With two-player split screen multiplayer and four-player
"hot-seat" mode, and the compatible Top Shot Elite,
PlayStation®Move sharp shooter, and Wii Zapper™
peripherals, family and friends will have the ultimate MIB agent
experience, blasting their way through fun challenges and
competitions to see who the best really is.
Men In Black: Alien Crisis is available for the
Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 system for a suggested retail price of
$59.99, and on Wii for $49.99. Specially marked packages contain an
eMovie Cash code redeemable for $10.00 off a Men In Black 3 movie ticket
at participating theatres starting May
25, 2012. For more information, please visit
