    Graphics look so ugly. Controls are as bad as Link & the Faces of Evil. The levels are so annoying and repetitive. God this game....do not buy it at all...

    I'm no video game expert, but my 6- and 3-year old boys and I had a great time with this game on our GameCube. This is a figure-it-out type of game, and the "a-ha" moments gave them a lot of satisfaction.

    Another infamous example of how a movie game is rushed onto shelves and placed into homes before the game is even ready. The game feels like its missing a core premise. Is it the gameplay? A little bit of that. graphics? there lame, but not the biggest complaint.

My patience has almost run out, where we constantly are getting these movie games, and for the majority of them, there below average to terrible. This game has really know reason to exist, except for the fact that it is a blatant milking of a popular movie. Nothing stellar here in any meaning of the word, and when your playing this you'll just miss the magic of the movie and the entertainment of thousands of other far superior games.… Expand

    Kids aren't going to want to rescue the bad guys of the movie, kids want to explore the factory, swim in the chocolate lakes and hijack cars.

    The controls are awful, the camera is beyond appalling, the graphics are hideous, the environments are bare, the gameplay is unbearably repetitive and the whole thing is an utter chore to play.

    When a game is as derivative and uninspired as this one, a rotten camera is just another nail in its coffin. Unfortunately, the film franchise graveyard won't let these monsters die.
