WALL-E - Nintendo Wii

I rented this game, and I'm sure glad I didn't rush out and buy it. As much as I loved the movie, I was hoping the game would be good. Plus, I read some reviews and found quite a few people saying the game was actually pretty fun (as far as movie games go). Since most movie games turn out to be lame, and some people were saying this one was fun, I decided to get it. I almost just bought it, but in a fit of good judgement I decided to rent it first. From the very beginning the game established a routine with me - lots of waiting for things to load. This game loads especially slow, even for a Wii game. I imagine the load time comes from the massive graphics. Every new level brought a loading screen that would show hints and tricks completely unrelated to what you were about to do. I love Wall-e though, so I was willing to wait for him. I imagine that you, as a potential buyer of this game, are interested because you loved the movie like I did and are hoping to jump into the story and feel of the movie through this game, reliving those beautiful memories. While this game does a much better job of carrying the feel of the movie to your game console than past attempts, it still falls short on too many levels to really get me excited. The production of the game began before the movie was released, and the game crew was working with concept sketches and written descriptions of many parts of the unfinished film in order to do their job. In several places they had to do their own thing rather than follow the actual movie, though most of the time the game follows the movie's storyline almost exactly. I was able to work through the entire game in a matter of hours (two or three) which unlocked most the game's content. The remaining unlock-ables are cheats that can be found by searching the web. Unfortunately, the cheats rarely made the game more fun, and in most cases they caused severe glitches that, on occasion, completely crashed my system and necessitated restarting the Wii. This may not be the experience everyone has, but it was certainly enough for me to avoid using the cheats and recommend that you do the same (or, cheat at your own risk!). The little Wall-e character was adorable on the screen (just like in the movie) and the look and feel of the environments was appropriate. Some of the challenges were difficult, but beating the game was not. I especially enjoyed a couple of the multiplayer modes, but was disappointed that only one or two of them was worth my time. In fact, my overall evaluation of the game was not as positive as I would like to report. Video games based on movies are rarely up to the quality that they should be, and I was hoping (in vain) that this one would be the exception. If you have ever played and enjoyed a game based on a movie in the past, and you loved the movie Wall-e, then I recommend that you try this game. Try it, THEN buy it if you like it.

My kids (2 and 4) love this game because it has Wall-E in it. That's about the extent of it. The game is complicated and not very exciting. The instructions are poor and we can't figure out how to be "Eve" instead of "Wall-E". There's nothing that explains the point of the game. My kids are young, but I don't think an older child would find this game very interesting either.

This was my first Wii game and it was very fun. I loved the graphics and i found it very cute. My 2 year old loves to watch me play it and says Wall-E over and over again. Only bad thing is it's kinda hard to find all the little token things you need and i died alot lol. It is super fun tho!

I bought this game for me to play, but I got stuck and my grandfather picked up the controller. He pretty much got addicted and stole the game from me :) My 2yr old daughter loves to watch him play. So it's fun for them to sit together while he plays. It's a fun addition to our Wii collection!
