    Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is just a solidly competent 3D platformer that doesn't aspire to be a lot more than it is.

    One for the kids!

    A common third person adventure filled with platforms, combat and puzzles, and fueled by an 8-cast of Invizimals characters with their own powers and abilities that are very funny to catch not with a pokedex, but with some old-fashioned quictime events. Low difficulty and very voiced guided gameplay are an omni-presence at the gameplay, but one that is justified by the fact that this is totally a child's play/game, one really ideal to start in this Ratchet & Clank, Lara Croft adventures type of videogames.

    Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is a platform title that has many obvious shortcomings. It's difficulty level is a joke, the controls are difficult and slow, the camera is horrid and it doesn't innovate in any respect. This game is just an attempt to use the franchise's success in a portable format.

    It's a simple and fun game, without any kind of complications. Sometimes it feels a little bit rushed, but it should satisfy the audience it is aimed at.

    Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is not a well-crafted game, suffering lots of problems from the gameplay perspective to the graphical side. Just Battle Mode, an action-RPG side of the game, feels good, but is not enough to advise playing this PS3 version.

    Invizimals is a simple case of a good idea, with a mediocre execution. A load of technical issues and a low difficulty hamper what could've been a great adventure.

    The augmented reality made the Invizimals franchise a lot of fun. If you take that away, you get a platforming experience that is mediocre at best and on top of that highly forgettable. Children might get a bit of mileage out of it; everyone else shouldn't come within a mile of this disappointing product.

    It's not acceptable anymore to deliver a standard platform game and just get away with it. Invizimals has nothing special. It had potential, but the developer was too lazy to make a really big game of the huge universe.

    As an entry to a new platform, Lost Kingdom deserved better luck. In its current state, it offers nothing more than a mediocre platform adventure game, with exclusive Invizimals and a connection to the game on the PlayStation Vita. Suited for fans and compulsive collectors, all others can just choose better.

    Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is a borderline terrible experience which will appeal only fans of the franchise and kids alike.

    Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is never inherently bad, but it’s far too basic to compete in a genre that’s brimming with better options.

    If you're not a kid, I can say with certainty that this game is not one of those kid-friendly games that also appeals to adults. If you have or know a kid, she or he might be temporarily diverted by the cool Invizimals, but I suspect that most kids who are old enough to read the game's text will be quickly bored.

    Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is not only a bad game, it’s also the sort of lazy, badly-executed tripe that you would have seen during the last days of the original PlayStation.

    This InviZimals on PS3 leaves the augmented reality features to provide a failing 3D action game that we can't recommend. Pokemon and Skylanders don't have to worry at all.

    It’s dull, barely requires the player to pay any attention, and feels like little effort has went in to refining it.

    Eng: A pretty average game. It has its advantages, but lack of quality control in production almost reduces all of it. If you like averageEng: A pretty average game. It has its advantages, but lack of quality control in production almost reduces all of it. If you like average action-platformers and you don't mind bad technical performance, you might like this game. My score is 5 out of 10. Also here is a pretty easy platinum, if you're interested it.

    Рус: Средненький экшен-платформер с неплохой идеей и неудачной её реализацией. У игры полно технических проблем, которые не были полностью исправлены даже патчем весом 2,5 гига. Подойдёт только большим любителям экшен-платформеров. 5 из 10. Также в игре достаточно лёгкая платина.    … Full Review »

    3/10. Terrible frame rate issues. The game often eats your first and/or second jump leading to death and having to restart from some random3/10. Terrible frame rate issues. The game often eats your first and/or second jump leading to death and having to restart from some random checkpoint a while back. You get stuck on geometry often. You often cannot attack. Heavy attacks don't always work. There's a reason for it, but it's never explained and it's not consistent. Puzzles and Invizimal power usage and controls are not consistent. There's a lot of random holes in the world on the path you walk which will kill you.

    The camera is locked and will swerve around a lot leading to your death. You often need to walk into the camera and will fall to your death if you're not careful, or knowing fall to your death if you are careful and the game doesn't show you the direction you need to jump with the locked camera.

    This would have been more enjoyable as a kids show where I can watch it and never need to interact.    … Full Review »
