Megamind: The Blue Defender , a 3D character action game with elements of exploration, puzzle solving and ability collecting/swapping, is based on the film Megamind. The player takes on the role of Megamind – the super villain seeking revenge on Metroman.
A sudden crime wave hits the city as the Doom Syndicate & their Doom Goons emerge to take over. Hal, transformed into "Blue" Titan, has taken both Megamind's and Metroman's essence due to a mishap. It is up to Megamind to clear the city of crime by finding clues and tracking down Titan.
The player destroys, shoots, and punches their way through the city, using various abilities against enemies. Abilities are collected throughout levels, as well as puzzles to be solved to reach the end of each level. Action is a major part of the game, with frequent encounters with boss characters requiring different approaches.
Megamind's abilities are gained by finding and unlocking new weapons scattered throughout the levels. Each weapon can trigger special objects to open up new paths and collectibles. Finding all collectibles and unlocks requires multiple attempts through each level.
