Despicable Me: The Game

This is a side-scrolling action-platformer, based on the movie Despicable Me, in which players assume the role of a master villain named Gru. Players solve puzzles, traverse platforms, and use futuristic weapons (web gun, freeze ray, magnet gun) to defeat small minions and other enemies. Players have the ability to freeze, zap, or launch nets at bank guards, who often cower when approached; guards cry out and disappear in mist when shot. During a space-flight sequence, players use a targeting crosshair to shoot homing rockets at enemy turrets and spaceships.
