4.0 out of 5 stars This Core Gamer digs it..! October 21, 2009

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I orignally got this game for my niece and started to play it to find out if a six year old could play. Mind you, I play games like Gears of War, Halo, Uncharted, etc. This game is not only fun but a breath of fresh air. I stopped playing FEAR 2 to play this game. I think my mind was getting a little tired of the gore and evil. Anyway back to the game..

Okay it's the Wii so we won't go into the graphics (Atleast it's not ugly). I like the variety in gameplay. You are not just beating things with a stick. And the tasks are just enough to not become monotunous.

A cute and compeling story that makes you feel good to play. I would recommend for all above the age of 8 because of its difficulty.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as scary as the movie... October 22, 2009

This game is not for anyone who enjoys strategy or complexity. You do a lot of running and jumping and climbing and swinging from things. You collect little energy balls, skulls and fruit. I was looking forward to some interesting graphics and special effects but most of the action is medium resolution and not very exciting. There are none of the magical visual moments I was looking forward too. Your POV in the game is a good distance from the action in the short battles you have with bugs, so there isn't a great deal of skill involved. This is not for the serious gamer. It is less dark and scary than the film and therefore better for younger kids.

BTW, my copy came with a "ticket" worth $7.50 off the price of the movie. So if you want to see the flick and buy the game you might want to get the game first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Adventure game for kids(and adults too!) January 12, 2011

My 8 year old son loves this game as well as my husband.It is hard to find adventure games for kids that are not too violent.The "enemies" in the game are big wasp-type bugs of differing varieties,and black goo.I like that it is a club that the character Max swings(no guns etc)Every "puzzle" is simple enough,
but challenging too; just right.My husband and I loved the Baulders gate series for the play-station, and we have been looking for a good not-too-violent adventure game for our son.Here it is.
