Chicken Little gives you control of the movie's main character as he tries to warn the town that they are soon to be invaded by aliens. This movie to game title seems to do a great job of taking the characters developed by Disney and putting them on your game console. Each character model from Goosey Loosey to Foxy Loxy, Abby Mallard and Mayor Turkey Lurky resemble their big-screen counterparts perfectly. In fact, there were several times in the game's cutscenes when I couldn't figure out if I was looking at clips from the movie or in-game scripts. Though I am sure Chicken Little used a blend of both, it was really hard to tell at times which movies were which.

The actors from the movie continue their roles in this game, making the Chicken Little game as true to the movie as possible. Music-wise, you get treated to a lot of fun sounding tunes that do a good job of staying in the background and out of the way as you race through the school halls or battle aliens.

Chicken Little takes place some time after the classic, "sky is falling..." story. Now our little hero is shunned from most of the town and considered crazy by more than one random kid. One day, he discovers that an alien invasion force has landed and has abducted one of his friends, Fish Out of Water. Now Chicken, Runt of the Litter (an over-sized pig) and Abby Mallard (AKA: "The Ugly Duckling") need to get aboard the spaceship and save both their friend and the world.

Chicken Little is a different game from most. It can't easily be fit into any particular genre because, even though there are several platformer-like levels, most of the levels you encounter are unique and so different from the others that the overall game just doesn't neatly qualify as any one thing. In the first few levels alone, I had Chicken doing everything from playing dodge ball to hunting for coins to keeping him from hitting trees as he flew around with a shaken up soda-pop strapped to his back.

I was amazed by the fact that I rarely found myself repeating mission styles and I could never really say,"I've seen all this game has to offer" until I had reached the end and seen the entire game. There are missions that will have you driving around town, playing baseball, racing down tubes, and practicing in a Space Simulator.

And,to top it off, not only do you get a wide range of mission types in the normal single-player mode, but there several multiplayer minigames to unlock and play through. Drone Dash has one player controlling the vehicle while the other controls the weapons in a co-op run to the finish line. Super Speedway is a quick race game where the two players drive three laps around the town. Saucer Shooter lets both players take part in the Saucer Simulator levels from the single player mode to see who is the best.

Chicken Little's difficulty is all over the place. Since there are a wide variety of mission styles, you might find yourself breezing through the platformer missions while having problems in some of the other modes like running away from Loosey Goosey.

This is the type of game that pretty much anybody can find a level they are good at (and might want to play several times even after they beat it) and levels that they will have to retry many times over before they can move on.

Since Chicken Little has several different types of play styles, the control scheme changes fairly frequently. Thankfully, the controls are intuitive, for the most part anyway.

When Chicken Little is running around in a standard platformer-like level, you jump with the X, attack or climb up poles with the Square and aim your sling shot with the Circle. The other characters like Fish, Runt and Abby are simple variations of this scheme and are no trouble whatsoever to pick up once you get Chicken's buttons down. The other modes, like driving and space flight, follow their respective standards (i.e. to accelerate use the X or to fire a cannon use the Square, etc.) and again should be nothing to get a grasp on.

In short, Chicken Little is a game that has something for everybody. Whether you like the platformers, sports or races -- there is something in this game that will appeal to you and once you've beaten that level, you can go back and play it as many times as you like.
