Fun driving and an inviting world make visiting Planet 51 a pleasure in this family-oriented open-world game.
-
This is a game for kids! They will have a lot of fun with it. To all the others: “Hands off!”
-
Planet 51 is a game for kids, it’s by no means entertaining, but is the perfect fit for a GTA friendly open world game – perfect training for the later years. The problem is that even youngsters will likely quickly tire of the game, assuming they’ve had the privilege of playing anything that offers up gaming entertainment.

Official Xbox Magazine UKBetter than expected, worse than it should be. [Feb 2010, p.111]
-
You can buy it to your little child, and try it for a couple of hours, but the gaming experience will not entertain you for long. The dark side of tie-in acquires a new disciple.
-
A mediocre game at best and one that will not even appeal that much to the target audience. Kids want a game that offers fun and excitement and this drawn out sandbox affair has very little of either.
-
Whether it's the floaty and complicated vehicle handling, the confused radar, the repetitive nature of the missions, or the random and surprising difficulty spikes, Planet 51 gives players (especially younger ones) a multitude of good reasons to stay away.
-
Planet 51: The Game isn’t a bad licensed game, really, but something far worse: it’s a boring game.
-
The title completely lacks innovation, engagement, or for want of a more empirical term, soul. It does not even have the accolade of being actively bad, it is instead just utterly mediocre.
