    Regardless of the fact that it is a kids game, Zathura really doesn’t do anything more than create bad frame rate issues and a straining time on anyone.

    Zathura isn't a particularly bad title; it just lacks anything that puts it above most other recent releases.

    I don’t care how much you loved the film, do not buy this game. If your children absolutely loved the movie, then give Zathura a rental at most for them to get their thrills.

    Unfortunately Zathura plays like it was won in a car boot sale. Avoid.

    The laughable A.I., boring level design, pedestrian graphics, and tattered story make this a game that should be avoided by young and old alike.

    To me, I wouldn’t even leave this game in the basement, as you never know who may find it.

    An utter disgrace. It’s tedious, blatantly made on a zero budget with zero effort, and consequently is about as much fun as spending a day transcribing random pages from the phone book.
