The three heroes have their own particular objectives, but they must also aid one other; More than 20 hours of gameplay, fighting, puzzles, driving and flying; Players can watch integrated scenes from the film offered in the form of parallel action phases.

    The PS2 version is even better than the DS version, as it should be.

    A really engrossing game that is only let down by the lack of pace. [Mar 2007, p.70]

    As movie games go it's rare that we get anything original, so Arthur and the Invisibles is a welcome commodity even if the movie is getting unjustly hammered by critics. [Feb 2007, p.38]

    The title remains mediocre in most categories, and there really isn't anything remarkable here.

    To make matters worse, the game has some spotty A.I., repetitive combat, and some irritating portions that can be made even more so by the camera. [Mar 2007, p.86]

    An insufferably boring platformer unworthy of attention. [Issue #150, p.91]
