Based on the summer 2010 computer-animated feature film from Universal Pictures, D3Publisher's Despicable Me puts players in the role of Gru, maniacal mastermind and -- until recently -- the world's number one supervillain. The game involves platform puzzle solving with an evil genius theme. Players take command of obedient but quirky minions and use deviously designed gadgets to overcome obstacles and reach in-game goals. Other sequences have players running and jumping through set-piece sequences in free-flowing platform action. The interactive storyline is written to give players a sense of mischief and misbehavior, as they guide Gru through his self-assigned dastardly duties and (with a bit of help from some unexpected allies) on to a realization of a higher purpose. ~ T.J.
