A First Person Action game - from Disney! Usually Disney's movie-to-games are flat, unimaginative puzzles that bore my kids within seconds. But Atlantis is something new. It's entirely in 3D, which for kids' games is extremely rare. Having not seen the movie I can't say how well it compares, but it does an amazing job of putting the player "in" the game. Visually it is first rate, obviously a lot of creativity went into the production.

Bottom line, my kids love it (2 boys and a girl). The multiplayer aspect of the game (you can go online and play against other people) is the biggest draw for them. Every time they play it's a new game, with new people doing unpredictable things. It worked out of the box, getting online to play is all built in, though my seven year old had to walk me through it the first couple of times.

Great gameplay, very impressive graphics, seemingly endless replayability, and my kids love it. And I play it, too.

Who needs a movie?

I loved Disney's Atlantis the Lost Empire- Trial by Fire. But I still stuck on the second level, they should make a cheat book to help young players.

Atlantis was O.K But easy to bet. You have three levels of skill you can choose from easy, medium and hard but it's still not that hard to bet on hard. It's not much a chalange but still a fun game to play

This game is fun for about an hour. The graphics are merely average.
The intro is dumb.

Level 2 is pretty easy,the only hard part is those stupid bridges. They're only a board! The second bridge does not break if you walk on the thin board; don't fall off!

I got stuck on level 3, but finally figured out how to pass it:AT THE FOURTH TUNNEL, GO DOWN CLOSE TO THE GROUND; JUST SO THAT YOU DON'T HIT IT,THEN STEER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TUNNEL, KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU FLY THROUGH THE MIST, YOU ARE AT THE END OF THE LEVEL.

Level 4 is the hardest one; there are keepers everywhere!

Level 5 is sort of hard; to get talisman 1, you must enter the water room. There is a treasure chest under the bridge in the water, but it is useless. Don't waste your oxegen trying to get it to do something. Just grab the talisman and get out of there! The fire room is harder; go slow to avoid falling into the lava. The wind room is the easiest; nothing can hurt you.
The rock room is by far the hardest. You'll have to avoid the cracks in the ground that if you fall into you will die. This is one of the only places in the game where you'll have to use jumping. Note that each time you come out of a room, that number of Keepers will be waiting for you. Place all these talismans in the stone book (the thing in the center of the room) and the platform will move down. See the book? Just walk up to it and you'll have beaten the game.

This game was quite entertaining! I saw the movie and if you liked that youl love the game. Disney always seems to be coming up with new "Unsinkable" idea's. This game is great for all ages!

Trial By Fire is a fun and challenging game with 2 modes and 2 games. Multiplayer and Single Player (CD needed) It has cool 3D effects (But they could be better) and 2 challenging games to play. It includes the original "Search For The Journal" but the game has it's own disc and only the Search For The journal disc has the Keeper's CTF (Capture the Flag) and Tourney (Tournament) with Keepers instead of Atlanteans and no "Stormtrooper Explorers." This is a fun game that should keep kids age 7+ entertained.

I bought this game for my nieces (ages 5 and 11). They absolutely loved it. It is really fun to play and great for curious minds. Like most of the Disney products, it's appropriate for all ages without being boring. There are all kinds of challenges for curious little minds and I confess that this aunt hogged the mouse more than once.

A great gift for kids who enjoyed the movie or for those who just like to explore and imagine.

After finding this game hidden in the bowels of the local dollar store for a buck, I took a chance and got it. I got it home, had 2 hours of fun, and that was it. It was all gone. This game is fun, but extremely short and easy. The only hard part is in a tunnel full of giant ants threatening to destroy you. They are nothing. The level itself, however, is annoying and you have no way to mark your way. It took me a half hour to beat, which accounts for 25% of my play time. The game, after several bad... puzzle levels, gets good when you have to activate the four stone giants. These levels are fun and interesting, providing a refresing pace. After this, the fun goes away since you are met with a bad... ending. The graphics aren't bad, though they could have been better. Multiplayer is worthless, since nobody is ever on, and after winning the game, you won't play it again. 1 thumb up, 1 thumb down on this one.
