2.0 out of 5 stars Coraline: The Video Storybook, February 3, 2009

The game follows the story of the book, and presumably the movie (not released as of this writing), fairly closely. In fact, it's mostly a storybook of the film where you're the one moving Coraline around. The minigames found in the game are few and far between and of the most simple concept. Most of the interaction with the game beyond walking is superficial, i.e., drop a stone to see how deep a well is or move chicken legs to your plate. The one somewhat interesting aspect is collecting various outfits for Coraline to wear, but that's scrapping the barrel for finding something positive. $30 for a game that won't last two days is too expensive. Only recommended to fans of the film who want to relive it before the DVD comes out but can't be bothered to read the (highly recommended) novel by Neil Gaiman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coraline DS Game, March 3, 2009

This review is from: Coraline (Video Game)

I was aware of the other reviews that I have read regarding this game. But being a fan and curious at that, it didn't seem that bad when I viewed the media snippet that I clicked on during my search here in Amazon.

If you are an avid hard core gamer, then yes, you will be disappointed. But if you are in for just the fun of it, then you will like it.

I rated it 4 stars because for something that is so simple in concept, I thought it was expensive.

THIS GAME WAS A GIFT FOR A 10 YEAR OLD WHO LOVES CORALINE. SHE SAID THE GAME WAS TOO HARD TO GET TO THE OTHER LEVELS, EVEN THOUGH SHE TRIES AND TRIES TO GET PAST A CERTAIN PART OF THE GAME. SHE LOVES ANYTHING CORALINE. THE GAME IS A LITTLE TOO HARD FOR YOUNG KIDS, EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THEM THINK THEY CAN BEAT IT, BUT HONESTLY, THEY PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO IF THEY'RE UNDER 12. GOOD LUCK. GAME WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND WAS SHIPPED PROMPTLY.
