    It would be nice if gamers actually check the rating of the game before they play it and say it's terrible. This is a game for kids, check the rating - E for everyone. Being a game of this rating it is fine. It is a simple platform and collect game which includes very basic hack and slash combat.

This is a game for kids, check the rating - E for everyone. Being a game of this rating it is fine. It is a simple platform and collect game which includes very basic hack and slash combat. You basically collect things for the creatures and the game expands into new areas as you make them happy and collect the things they like. The platforming is at a decent level and there are enemies that create distractions and interfere at a reasonable skill level. I could see this game being tough for younger kids but easy enough a parent or sibling could help them out. For older children this should be a fun and somewhat challenging game. I see no reason to bash this game for what it is. It's so important to check those ratings. The game is presented nicely. The characters are cartoon like and same with the voice acting. The only thing I can say about this game is again a few weird camera angles which could produce some "where do I go?" moments and it's repetitive but last time I checked kids can watch and enjoy the same movies they like 20 x so that shouldn't be a problem here lol. Otherwise I don't see the reviewers concerns it seems they have forgotten who the game was made for. It worked totally fine for me. Maybe the reviewers would be happier reviewing Majin and the forsaken kingdom instead, the same kinda creature game but for Teens and up.… Expand

    Although the platforming isn't bad, the lack of replay value and small visual problems take away from the overall adventure. However, if you've got kids or you're a fan of Spike Jonze's film, you might be up for some Rumpus.

    Although it is in every way a simplistic take on often-recycled game concepts and mechanics, Where the Wild Things Are is still an enjoyable platform adventure that will keep many players - children and adults alike - interested until the end.

    There is just so little content and the levels are so repetitive that Wild Things spends its cache of charm in the first few minutes, and once its gone, you'll be left asking yourself one question: When did the Wild Rumpus get so boring?
