    Too easy and some of the mini game controls just don't work or work intermittently. I would spend money elsewhere - luckily I rented first.

    The game is very simple, easy to play, and oddly immersive. Motion controls for the wii also work surprisingly well. I feel this game was designed with motion controls in mind.

    Parts of the game feel unfinished, and there’s no real reason to craft and recipes or collect any flowers. The game could have had more depth when it came to collectibles and giving the player a reason to participate.

    Some of the mini games were a drag, and some of the missions and controls could be explained better.    … Expand

    It has a slightly goofy and laid-back approach to gaming, but it's solid and way more fun than the other recent movie-licensed launch titles. [January 2007, p.61]

    While the motion-sensitive controls don't fully justify the Wii version's higher price tag, they do make a fun sandbox game seem even more engaging.

    One mini-game made us laugh out loud as our cow did an MC Hammer dance. [Jan 2007, p.83]
