My 9 year old liked the game but thought they could have made it better. He said it was fun but too easy and after awhile a little boring. My 12 year old hated it and had no good words to say about it. He loved the book series and was very disappointed in the game. Very young age game.

Ok, I absolutely LOVED the Percy Jackson books, and thought the Lightning Theif movie was pretty good. I bought the game thinking it was like the Harry Potter games, but found it to be more like Pokemon. You don't do anything except read and pick what "Action" to use when fighting enemies. You pick your character and pick an action to use. This is the whole game. It goes through the story of the Lightning Thief, but does not have any adventure to it at all. You don't even press a button to attack, for example, in the scene where Percy is fighting Annabeth, you don't even press A or anything to swing Riptide at her. You simply choose your action on the screen. The game is very repetitive and very very boring. I recommend this to people who like Pokemon games. Otherwise, don't waste your money.
