5.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate and fun for a younger (or older) gamer., January 11, 2009

This game has been out for a long time. How can I be the first to review it?

Just so you know, as of this writing we have not finished the game but so far it has been a lot of fun.

Graphics are really pretty good. It's no Fable 2 or Metal Gear 4, but very appropriate for my young gamers. My 5 year old can play through level after level with no assistance. But then she is a video game prodigy.

There is some violence, hit the bad guy, push him in the water, etc.

Controls are well done. A lot of the buttons and shoulder buttons are used but it's reasonably easy to control.

For it's market, I'm surprised at how good the game it. Better than the average movie game.

Just to give a number, perhaps 7.5 out of 10.

Plus it's FUN!

At 63, I'm a PS3 novice and Bolt is only the second game I've tried. It's great for adapting to the controls, which don't come naturally to me as they do my grandkids.

This review is from: Disney's Bolt (Video Game)

Playing Bolt is fun. The game is based on the Disney movie of the same name, which my whole family enjoyed very much. The game is a companion piece to the movie. You play Bolt and Penny as the fictional characters that they portray in the movie. Basically you play one of the tv episodes from the movie. Bolt the videogame is therefore a new original story, but not much of the story. The premise is that Penny's Dad is captured, and she and Bolt try to save him, thats the story in the nutshell.

The graphics are good, but I have seen PS3 showcase better graphics in other games. You take turns playing as Bolt and Penny. When you play as Bolt, you go through the levels fighting all the enemies that stand in your way. It is very fun using Bolt's super powers, and some fights can get challenging even for adults. It can get repetive towards the end of the game, but I always found myself going back for more. The Penny levels is what makes this game shine. Her levels required you to be stealthy and to get to places using her wheelie thing. Penny levels never got repetive, and actually get a little challenging towards the end. The alteration between Penny's stealth levels and Bolt's action levels works just right, as when you start to feel fatigue playing Bolt levels, you get switched to Penny levels.

The end movie is kind of disappointing, but I guess it has to end the way it does, because it is only an episode within the tv show.

Overall, I would recommend this game for $20 (price that it is selling for now). It also makes for a good rental. I also think that this is a kid friendly game.
