Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is a tie-in to the 2011 movie Green Lantern , based on the DC comic. The main character, Hal Jordan, is a cocky test pilot who becomes the new bearer of the Green Lantern ring after an alien named Abin Sur crash-lands on Earth.
The ring gives Jordan immense powers and he must use them to fight against the Manhunters, an android race that seeks to reclaim its position as the intergalactic police force. The game centers around the struggle between the two forces, with the Manhunters attempting to destroy the Guardians of the Universe.
As Jordan navigates through various levels, he must use his powers to fight enemies and overcome obstacles. His green energy can take many forms, including a laser sword, drill attacks, and claw grabs. He can also upgrade his abilities to shoot projectiles or create more powerful constructs.
The game features action-packed sequences on the ground and in flight, with Jordan moving through space in a Space Harrier-style sequence. Players can also play cooperatively with a friend as Sinestro, performing certain attacks that require cooperative actions.
The game boasts 3D visuals, both on standard TVs and 3DTVs, allowing for an immersive gaming experience.
