Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Headed to the Xbox 360?
Written Thursday, April 02, 2009 By Jason Debelyak

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is going to be headed to an Xbox 360 near you.  First off, check your calendars because it is in fact April 2nd.

Apparently, Ubisoft is going to be bringing a game tie-in based on the movie tie-in of the children's book that's due out this Fall.  We all loved the book, but how well will this transform into a video game?

We do know it will feature numerous gadgets that will use numerous foods such as spaghetti and hamburgers as weapons.  There will be 20 serparate levels, including Jello-Land and Ice Cream Falls.  If that's not enough, the entire game will be available in co-op, as a friend can control the main character's monkey.  Yup..

Definitely can't be as bad as some other games that have been spawned by children's movies, but time will tell I suppose.  Get ready to get your meatball on this Fall, specifically September 15th.

how can this be a movie and then a game? The book has no game elements or even short elements to make a game.

Just when I thought games couldn't get any gayer. They should stop making children games on the 360 and PS3, I hate when a kid is on the team that just beat me on COD4 because they never shut the f*** up!

@25 - totally agree. its so fun to just verbally abuse in such coarse language they dont even know and then watch them leave.

WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS GAME???? it grinds my gears to see kids games on the xbox. although the first level of avatar was awesome. they need to stop making games rated less than T for the 360

At first, had no idea on what Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was, but then after hearing that it was a book, I looked it up and it sounds....interesting at the very least, and seeing that it's being made into a movie, looks like it could actually work out, a science expreiment gone wrong....on a global scale. Still, the game could prove to be rather entertaining at least, I mean, it's good to get away from all the hardcore games and play some rather nice and easy going games imo.

And I hear 1/3 of the achievments will be broken. Seriously before releasing krap games, why don't you fix the achievments on your previously broken games!

Why punish us when we already pumped cash into your krap company!

@ 45

What is your and everyones obsession with what games the 360 gets? Here's an idea. Don't play Hannah Montana? Leave it for the core 6 year old girl audience?

Hard to do I know, but you'll feel better about it after that I'm sure.

if you were not born in the 80's or ever read the book, then take the time to not leave a comment. It was a great book when I was 6, and hopefully the movie and game will add a new legacy to the current generation of kids.
