Independence Day 2 misfires with game that lets users virtually destroy real buildings
Although initially met with excitement by nostalgic twentysomethings, the hype surrounding the upcoming Independence Day: Resurgence has fizzled faster than a sparkler in a half-empty can of Budweiser (sorry, half-empty can of America). First of all, the film is not being screened for critics—our own Ignatiy Vishnevetsky will have a review for you after he sees it Thursday night—which is always a bad sign. And The New York Post is appalled by an ill-advised interactive online game, ”Independence Day My Street,” that lets users virtually reduce the address of their choosing to post-apocalyptic rubble using a combination of Google maps and CGI.
