  1. While this isn't likely to be the most intense or challenging game you've ever played, it still manages to be quite a lot of fun.
  2. Movie licensed titles are often less than satisfactory, but The Spiderwick Chronicles manages to pair decent gameplay with impressive production values.
  3. Overall a great adventure game, would like to see a bit more "polish" to the game and an inventory system to work around the item backtracking.

    There is a big area to delve into, the music is great, and there is a lot of gameplay variety. There's something new to find around every corner, and that's something I can't say about enough games. The Chronicles could get younger players hooked on adventure gaming.
