Being more of a reader than a gamer, I enjoy the story element to this game. My four-year-old is not coordinated enough to play it well, but he likes to swordfight the bees and spiders. Overall the action may be a little slow for more experienced gamers, but I enjoy it. There seem to be a few flaws as I think they set it up to require you to die a certain number of times before being able to conquer some of the elements, but maybe that is just me. My love of the book allows me to overlook the flaws.

Bought this used & cheap. My son (a major Lego Wii games fan) LOVES it. It's his current favorite. While he asks for occasional help in tricky spots, he can figure most of it out on his own and has had a great time with it. The best thing about this game is that, although we still have not seen the movie, he asked me to buy the book and we are reading it together now. Wow, a video game that promotes reading. If they'd tried that as a sales pitch, I wouldn't have believed it, but sure is a nice bonus.

I purchased this for my young children 4 and 6 years old however they were not really able to play the game they do however enjoying watching and hearing the story. I wish it was easier for young children.

Most of it was easy, but was kinda surprised how difficult a couple of the levels were. My daughter and I enjoyed it

My grandson really enjoyed this game. He's too young to read the book but the game explained the story and even asked questions about it. His parents said this was a really nice game.
