    This game seems to intentionally want to be hard to play. It has multiple levels that are exactly the same, with no way around them, and has other parts that would be fairly workable if the cameras were in sensible spots. They aren't, so you can't see where you are trying to jump, then they shift mid-way through your action, so what was a right move is now a wrong move, you fell, haha tryThis game seems to intentionally want to be hard to play.

I got tired of trying to get us past everything.
    It's just not fun.    … Expand

    Thank Goodness we rented it first. At least I'm only out 6 bucks. One of the worst games we've ever had.

    Don't ever consider buying this game like I did. Movie-to-game never works and it shows in this "game". Graphics are **** Gameplay is **** Everything is **** Do NOT buy this crap.

    As I painfully maneuvered my Charlie from room to room, I grew more and more desperate in my attempt to find redeeming qualities in the game.

    It could have played like a slimmed down version of Pikmin crossed with quirky, yet solid platformer elements. Unfortunately, bad control and poor execution ruin the experience.

    Charlie and the Boring Factory. It's hard to make a fun game based around these kinds of properties, but that doesn't justify bad gameplay, or a lack thereof.
