1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Graphics Ruin What Could Be a Good Game, November 28, 2011

This game would probably be fun if you can get past the terrible graphics. The screen moves around a whole lot which gives me eye strain just trying to keep up with the characters. The scenes are slightly blurry when you move around which again causes eye strain. As far as ease of play the game is decent. You get many opportunities to find out what to do if you are stuck because you have someone telling you exactly what to do when you tap on a question mark within the game. There are many of those around. What I didn't like about that was that when I started the game & accidentally tapped the question mark the person came on the screen & said "just jump you big dummy". Is this not a game for kids?!!! The age range says everyone 10+ but who wants to be called names while trying to learn how to play a game. Not nice at all for kids! If your eyes can deal with the constant jumping around & the occasional crude humor than this game may be for you. Personally I value my eyesight over a video game any day.

My 8-yr-old son loved this movie, so when I started looking for the DS game, I was sad to hear there were none around! Our neighborhood video game place said the closest store to us that had it in stock was in NJ (and we're in DC)! So it was great to find it on Amazon and it made my kids day. He plays it in his new DSi & really likes it.
