Men in Black: Alien Crisis release date announced

Activision has released new details for their video game tie in to the upcoming Men in Black 3 movie releasing in theaters on May 25th.

Men in Black: Alien Crisis will hit shelves on May 25th as well, coinciding with the film's release.  It will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii.

All versions of the game are compatible with the Top Shot Elite peripheral.  The PS3 version is also compatible with the PlayStation Move sharp shooter and the Wii version with the Wii Zapper.

In Men In Black: Alien Crisis, players take on the role as Peter Delacoeur, a MIB Agent in training, assigned to unearth enemy aliens who are planning to destroy planet Earth. With hidden surveillance and stealthy guards on the prowl, players must ambush confidential alien intelligence and stop all alien attacks. Men In Black: Alien Crisis brings exciting, realistic MIB Agent movements as players shoot, and dodge their way through action-packed levels to escape fierce alien assaults.   Additionally, all platforms feature two-player split-screen gameplay and four-person “hot-seat” competitive action for awesome friends and family involvement.

Activision teamed with Jeff Gomez and Mark S. Pensaveele's Starlight Runner Entertainment to create a story and script for the game that is completely authentic to the Men in Black world and tone.

Look for both the Men in Black 3 movie and Men in Black: Alien Crisis to release on May 25th.
