    The type of game you need to avoid at all costs. Despereaux's movement and jumping (especially on the PS2) is a disaster; combat is a serious exercise in button-mashing; and the lack of camera control, as well as any real sense of depth, makes playing through Despereaux a chore.

    The Wii's 3-D gameplay is frustrating and occasionally broken.
