Advantages: It's Wall-e!
Disadvantages: It's pants! Hard to play and very boring.
I bought this for my son as he loves anything Wall-e related. It is also classed as a U rating so I thought it would be suitable for him, he is 4 (although still better than me at the majority of our Wii games!).
Bad idea! You need to simultaneously use the controller and the nunchuck, one for moving him around and the other to adjust the camera angle. Now this is difficult for some adults to achieve, never mind a child!
The actual game is just as difficult. On one section of the game you have to:
build rubbish cubes
position Wall-e in front of a target
position the camera
zoom in to the target
re-position the camera
fire the cube
then quickly reset the camera so you can jump over a platform before it goes away again.
Way too much for a young child to co-ordinate!
And that is just the first level!
The game is also very repetitive. I love playing games but barely managed to reach the second level before losing the will to live!
On the plus side... Wall-e is very cute, he can spin around and transform in to a cube and there is a cute soundtrack to accompany the game. The graphics are great and it is very true to the film.
I would not recommend this game for younger children - my son likes the game simply because it is Wall-e but he cannot play it, he simply spends ages spinning Wall-e around and transforming him in to a box.
This game is probably best for children aged 8+ as they will have the skills to play the game and will still be young enough to enjoy the fact that it is Wall-e.
Summary: Don't bother!
