    Considering the fact that Where the Wild Things Are offers nothing in the way of exciting platforming or combat, and it doesn't even run all that well, I'd avoid this one altogether.

    There is just so little content and the levels are so repetitive that Wild Things spends its cache of charm in the first few minutes, and once its gone, you'll be left asking yourself one question: When did the Wild Rumpus get so boring?

    Where the Wild Things Are is a great book and movie, but it's also a dull video game. The people at Griptonite Games do not seem to put much effort in making our childhood hero Max’ adventure an epic one. This is all kinds of ugly, repetitive and boring.

THIS is how you make a licensed game when you have no time or money. Take the game for what it is, people. I'm twenty-two and I actually enjoyed my weekend with this game. :)… Full Review »

    The gameplay is boring, youll end up hearing the same 4-6 tracks/songs over and over again, and dont get me started how stupid the wild things are!
