Our six year-old son really enjoys playing Wall-E on the playstation. Even our four year-old can succeed well in this game.
He has already beaten the game.He experienced very little frustration and enjoyed the different levels of the game. My son got this game about a month ago. He was very excited about it and had been asking for it after he saw the movie. I plan on letting my younger one play this game as a great beginning game for kids.If you are an adult, unless you are a huge Wall-E fan, this game may not be for you.If you are buying for a younger child, I highly recommend this one.
There is some good gameplay to be found and this will make a fairly good movie-based addition to your Playstation 2 library. In the end I'd often have to circle around repeatedly to get where I needed to be.After thoroughly enjoying the movie it was nice to dive back into Wall*E's world with this game, it's not perfect but it does expand quite nicely on aspects of things the movie barley touched. However there are one or two pieces of music you will become VERY familiar with throughout the game.The controls in the game work fine but it would be nice to customize the layout. Level loading times are fairly quick but it does drive me nuts how often the game will save to your memory card and how frequently you'll get pop-ups or the game will jump to new "levels" early on. But I don't want to spoil the game story or the movie for anyone yet so I'll update this review at a later time to fill in the details.In the end, this IS a fun game and a great way for people to get to hang out with Wall*E and the others for a while.
Some was surely necessary for the purposes of making this a game, but others I imagine are because Pixar left the developers in the dark as to what happens in the movie. It's certainly geared toward kids and was pretty easy to get through, but it was fun. I rented this game from GameFly while on vacation after seeing the movie and I have enjoyed it. Call it a sort of puzzle-based platformer. Me personally, I'll get the PS3 version when prices come down later on. I wasn't expecting a puzzle game but that is mostly what you'll get. However it is obvious that this game was in development quite a long while before the movie released because there are many things that are off target from the movie.
Some other portions of the game require you to race through a level while avoiding obstacles or playing a virtual game of "Simon Says" with computer screens to open doorways.The graphics on the game are quite good for a PS2, this will certainly blend in with other PS2 titles and Wall-E and other characters are still quite expressive and look good. I did struggle with the analogue stick quite often trying to move Wall-E around, but in real life it would be difficult to move precisely on those tracks so that is one explanation. As you go through the game the pop-ups become less of a problem but the game will continue to load and save frequently. The majority of the game requires you to collect energy modules to pass from area to area, and you'll also need to figure out how to gain access to the various zones. I imagine this is far less of a nuisance on the Playstation 3, PC, and Mac versions.The audio gets the job done, most of the sound effects work well for the game and the music at times is quite fun. It's worth a purchase for kids but other gamers might be satisfied enough to rent it.
