E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: Interplanetary Mission
Description
E.T., finally having left Earth, has been tasked with retrieving rare species of plants across five planets. E.T. has several abilities to help him out, including healing, which can restore life to plants, telekinesis, which can move inaccessible objects, and heart stun, which can knock out enemies.
In each level, you will explore and collect all the plants, while avoiding or knocking out enemies. Some areas may be locked behind barriers which require switches to be pressed, or objects to be moved. Once all plants are collected, head to the exit.

An improvement over a disastrous debut
The Good
What appreciate most are the simple set of controls, and the expressive video cut-scenes that occur after E.T. completes a theme planet.
The Bad
For an adventure game released in the early 2000s, isometric gameplay seems outdated as 3D games were already all the rage. Isometric gameplay can also be confusing to new gamers, though getting used to them shouldn't too long.
Though E.T. can run, some enemies, such as wolverine-like one, are hard to outrun. This can complicate things like if you open a door but only have a few seconds to get to it.
The Bottom Line
When E.T. made his video game debut in an Atari console in the 1980s, that game was maligned because of detection flaws due to tight production schedule. Nearly two decades later, an E.T. game was released for the PS1. Although this P1 game isn't a great game for its system, it is certainly a significant improvement over the character's first game.
