About the game
You play the boss of a street gang who has become president of the United States. Then aliens take over Earth and trap your crew in a fake version of a city. You fight back with superpowers. You run faster than cars, leap over buildings, glide, freeze enemies and throw things with your mind. Between story missions there are side jobs, like driving a tank through the streets or throwing yourself into traffic for points.
Two players can play online. A friend can drop in and out, and the story missions work for both of you. A few activities are made only for co-op. Otherwise you roam the same city and mostly do your own thing.
It is easy and very silly, so there is plenty of room to talk while you wreck things. It is rated for adults, with violence and strong language.
