WALL-E (video game)

WALL-E (stylized as WALL·E) is a platform video game developed by Heavy Iron Studios and published by THQ, based on the 2008 film of the same name.

As the player plays through the levels of the Nintendo DS version, they unlock clips from the movie viewable at any time.

The story mode is based on an earlier version of the film with some creative liberties also taken, as the character's roles are different from the movie.

In 2805, Earth is covered in garbage and abandoned, while people are evacuated by mega-corporation Buy N Large on giant star-liners.

BnL has left behind WALL-E robot trash compactors to clean up the mess, but they all eventually stopped functioning, except one unit, who has gained sentience.

One day, WALL-E discovers a plant in a refrigerator and comes across an uncrewed spaceship that deploys an EVE probe to scan the planet for life, with little success.

However, AUTO refuses to let this happen, revealing his own secret no-return directive that falsely claimed that the cleanup on Earth was unsuccessful.

Heartbroken, EVE gives WALL-E a farewell kiss, which sparks his memory back to life and restores his original personality.
