It's painfully obvious that Battle: Los Angeles the game lacked even a tiny percentage of the budget awarded to its film counterpart for production values and polish. Still, Saber Interactive attempted to recreate some of the big set pieces the movie offers, and made it into a short, downloadable first-person shooter affair. If this game had been handled the traditional movie-tie-in way, as a retail-priced six- to seven-hour adventure, I'm not sure it would have worked.

Mar 11, 2011 · Battle: Los Angeles is a typical movie licensed game. Built and released in a hurry to coincide with the release of the movie, while throwing all notions of good craftsmanship out the window.
