The water looks so real in this video game that you fear your TV might spring a leak. This adventure roughly follows the plot of the movie. In the first level, you try to steer Nemo to school, learning how to swim through bubble rings, pick up pearls, and blast through piles of rocks. Fifteen levels later (we counted 18 plus a bonus game), you reunite Nemo with his father, after hours of mazes, memory games and live clips from the movie. Here are the important details. First, there are little or no noticeable differences between the PS2, GameCube or Xbox versions of this game. Second, some of the levels are frustratingly difficult to complete; especially the gear mazes and the sliding square puzzles. Our testers would've liked more 3D exploring in the game, and noted that controls are awkward for the backward-facing levels. Each level is recorded on an innovative record keeping screen, and it is easy to save games, which you'll need to do often in order to make it through all 18 levels. As with many other videogames, when you "die" you are sent back to the start of the level. There's some wonderful programming in these games, including the fighting the water currents (you really empathize with what real fish have to put up with), the ways you can dart again rocks to move them, or pick up pearls with a fin. The bottom line? This is a beautiful, rich and challenging game with minimal educational value, that will take many days to finish. Developed for THQ by Traveller's Tales.

5.0 out of 5 stars SO Unbelievably Good!!, June 8, 2003

By 

TerryT (OK, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finding Nemo (CD-ROM)

I saw "Finding Nemo" twice in theaters and just decided that it is officially my favorite movie. With most movies, you should probably avoid wasting your time and money on disappointing games and books, etc., and just see the movie. But to get the full "Finding Nemo" experience, you NEED to play this game and read the "Essential Guide" from Dorling-Kindersley. You actually WILL find out things you won't get from the movie.

I saw two "Nemo" games on the shelf when I bought this, and one said "Ages 4+." Being 16, I said, "No way. Too young." Then I saw this. No age limit. Rated "E" for everyone. And made by THQ, same brand as my previous "Spongebob Squarepants" PC game that I love so much. So, I purchased it. This game is so utterly adorable that no matter what age you are, you're guaranteed to love it! The game shows you a very large portion of the film itself in high-quality clips, and the graphics are excellent. The dialogue's even better; almost all of the movie's voice actors take part in this game, with the surprising exceptions, apparently, of Albert Brooks (Marlin) and Ellen DeGeneres (Dory)! But, their voices sound so similar you probably won't miss them too much. The rest of the cast is terrific and it's such fun to hear them speak, especially the tank gang, which in my opinion is the best part of the game.

These games are many and moderately challenging. You can't just sit there bored and make it through them in 20 minutes, but they are not long, dull, difficult, time-consuming, frustrating, mind-numbing, boring games either. They achieve the perfect 'game balance.' The game is not hard to figure out; it begins the story quickly and moves right on through, never leaving you confused as to where to go.

The games themselves are alot of fun. And there are quite a few of them. The very best part of the game is guiding Nemo around the tank, picking up Friendship Totems from all the fish and helping them out in minigames! It is truly, insanely cute. You get to meet everyone and interact. The characters are very funny, and like I said, the graphics are so mind-blowingly good that it looks just like the movie. Some of the best games are the Tiki Head game, the Jellyfish game with Dory & Marlin, the Anglerfish game, Catch the Bubbles & the Filter game.

Everywhere you go there are things to do! It's such a fun game, you'll play it over & over. I highly recommend this as a supplement to seeing "Finding Nemo!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids aged 5 - 7 will excel playing this game, August 27, 2003

This review is from: Finding Nemo (CD-ROM)

My four-year-old daughter found this game a bit difficult and needed my assistance in solving some puzzles and generally maintaining forward progress to the gamefs conclusion. After she completed it, however, she played it several more times on her own. It makes her laugh and laugh and laugh because there are a variety of funny situations for young children. There are also funny situations for adults that probably go over her head every time she sees them. This game is probably best for children aged five to seven. Itfs graphics and voices are the best available today and the problem solving skills rival Freddie Fish Quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you own Freddy Fish software, don't buy this., December 4, 2003

It is very similar to it, as if format copied. My 7 year old daughter likes, my 4 yeard old son got it for birthday, we had it on our wish list, but he's struggling with it. The voice does sound like the original characters like Ellen DeGeneres.
