    Feels like they rushed to get this one out. Little boring to play.

    A childhood game i wanted to revisit that i enjoyed a lot back then. But here are my opinions on it 15+ years later. Feels rushed. The main actors excluding Kristen Stewart reprise their role for the game. Should've had more dialogue. Soundtrack is pretty memorable. Level designs leave a lot to be desired. Bosses are easy. But its a kids game so i dont expect them to be Dark Souls hard.A childhood game i wanted to revisit that i enjoyed a lot back then. But here are my opinions on it 15+ years later. Feels rushed.

    Zathura isn't a particularly bad title; it just lacks anything that puts it above most other recent releases.
  2. While the movie wasn't quite original, the game didn't fare all that well either, bogged down by lame characters, uninspired gameplay and dull visuals.
  3. Regardless of the fact that it is a kids game, Zathura really doesn't do anything more than create bad frame rate issues and a straining time on anyone.
