Gameplay

The game is a beat-em up that supports up to 4 players. Players get to play as Megamind, Minion, Metro Man, and Tighten as a starting point for how the game will be. However, when beating each level, players get to pick characters that weren't shown in the final version of the film such as Destruction Worker, Psycho Delic, Conductor, Judge Sludge, and Hot Flash, who are known as the Doom Syndicate in the game. Each level consists of 9 rounds with over 50 minigames. [2]

While most of the original film's cast were replaced with stand-in voice actors, Jonah Hill reprises his role as Hal Stewart / Tighten.

Plot

After Megamind becomes the hero of Metro City, he forms his own super hero squad, The Mega Squad, to defend the city from the Doom Syndicate.

After defeating the Conductor, the last of the Doom Syndicate, chaos is averted and order has been prevailed. Megamind is victorious.
