Inspired by the film Green Lantern, this game puts you in the world of pilot Hal Jordan, the first human Green Lantern, who is on a battle to restore intergalactic order. The battles involve a set of weapons that includes a gatling gun and the giant fist. The weapons can be chained together to form killing combinations (shh, don't tell the kids that this is also called programming). The goal is to build an array of weapons to defeat the evil android race, the Manhunters.There's a lot of 3D in this game. The Nintendo 3DS version has special capabilities; the console versions require special hardware or 3D glasses (active shutter glasses that are compatible with the television). The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions allow you to team up and battle the Manhunters in drop-in/drop-out local co-op gameplay as Hal Jordan or Sinestro. Developed by Double Helix Games for Xbox 360 and PS3, and by Griptonite Games for Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. Note: Wii, DS and 3DS versions are rated E10+ for Fantasy Violence.
