Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes

Last month we warned of the imminent arrival of Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes, a game apparently based on a film which was once voted the "Worst Vegetable Movie of All-Time".

Well, the game has now arrived and a pretty tasty dish it is. We won't quibble over the fact that a tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable.

In concept, the game is not startlingly original. It's very "Ultimate" in style but none the worse for that. But it is a departure in style for Global who are better known for straightforward adventure games rather than arcade adventure.

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes chronicles the predicament of Wimp Plasbott - he's trapped the PuraTom processing plant.

The game is packed with undeniably silly things, salad bowls, sauce bottles and rampaging tomatoes. All good fun.

And what's more, Global is planning to release more games based on silly films. They include Curse Of The Mushroom People, which will be released in two parts, and The Wild Women Of Wongo.
