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.

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.

This has a too much violence for young kids but is OK for older ones.

Review for the purchase: As always, shipping fast. Item exactly as described. Love Amazon.

Review for the game: Honestly, I only bought the game because it was marked down to $8 and I had a $10 game credit for purchasing GT5 that was about to expire, making the game free. The game is really just okay for all ages. It is too slow for adults, too much for my 4 year old, and doesn't interest my 11 year old. My 4 year old likes the game, but every level requires you to execute a new move, so she loses interest. She just wants to play. I know this sounds silly, but really, why not just have 5 to 10 core moves and that's it? Perhaps a special optional move? Every level the game stops you and you "have to" press a very particular combination, such as Square-Square, Circle, Square, X, R2 or you can't get through that scene. Again, the game tells you what you need to press, but honestly you need to be fast. What ends up happening is I have to get through that stuff for her.

My 8 yr old picked this game as part of her birthday present. She is very disappointed! She says it's too difficult - and this from a kid who plays A LOT of video games. It does say that it's for ages 10 and up - but so is the "Shrek - 4Ever After" game that she received, and she can play that like a pro.

It's an entertained game, just that it take to long when Bolt have to fight with the enemies. Good graphics even a little small but a good game.

Boring and Repetative. My 7 year old hated the game and asked to return it after only a day.
