    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.

    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.

    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.

    Movie licensed titles are often less than satisfactory, but The Spiderwick Chronicles manages to pair decent gameplay with impressive production values.
