finding nemo is based on the disney movie coming out this summer where a father fish is sadly separated from his young one. Embark on an adventure as you search the ocean world for the young fish as you encounter many obstacles along the way: sharks, whales, and even dolphins. For all you disney lovers out there you might want to try this game.

Finding what?

Finding Nemo is a horrible game. Who wants to be a baby fish going underwater? This game is based on the dumb movie Finding Nemo about some a silly fish separated from his father. I would give this game a zero-star rating but i can't.

FISHTASTIC!!!

This has to be the best Pixar film game to date.
It is visually superb, the characters are superbly modelled and as rich and vibrant as their film counterparts. The gameplay is a pleasing mix of puzzles, platforming, racing, you name it. The bonus games are especially fun.
And there is plenty to the game to keep the youngsters amused, and the adults entertained, an absolutely excellent movie tie in, that would stand up on its own right. Something very rare nowadays.
This game represents fantastic value for money and is a must have for any Pixar/fish fans.

Great Game!!!

I actually haven't seen the movie yet, but this game certainly made me wanna see it bad. The fact that it came with a free movie ticket helps, too...

This game is gorgeous. The animation is absolutely amazing, and it blends well with clips from the movie. Every stage is different, and you never seem to get bored (and trust me, I get bored easily with games).
It's colorful, full of action, and the characters are adorable! If you have kids, you HAVE to get this game. It will keep them interested for days!
I definitely recommend Finding Nemo.

Great Game For Entire Family

We recently purchased this game for out 4 year old daughter and she loves it! Sometimes it becomes a little difficult for her and she gets frustrated, but she quickly goes back to playing it again. Our 11 year old daughter loves it also, even though it is only one player, they just take turns! I even find myself sitting there and playing it with them.
For a family, this is a good game. Some games for kids are just too hard, take for instance Powerpuff girls, my 4 year old will not even play it, she just becomes angry and cries!
The graphics are nice, looks just like the movie...and another bonus, it comes with a free child's ticket to see Finding Nemo the movie!

So Simple It's Fun

We chanced upon this game at the local video store and began playing it while our friend looked around. When we left, we had been there for an hour and a half, all the while playing the game.

The game is extremely simple, operatable and probably comprehendable by a 5- or 6-year-old. You basically use the directional pad and a little speed burst button. The premise pretty much follows the movie, and you spend most of the game traversing the ocean.

The game took about 15 minutes to master, in terms of control, particularly with the change from side to front-and-back views in an annoyingly long sequence where you must chase Dory, the blue fish who helps you accomplish the title. You have to direct Nemo's father against or with the current, making sure to avoid bumping into crabs, blowfish, or other monstrous sea creatures. You can neutralize some of them by tail-whipping convenient bubbles into their direction (the bubble pretty much auto-pilots and heads straight for the "enemy" and traps them).

The sound is terrific, and the graphics are very cool, not quite as graphically sound as the movie, but top-notch for a video game. This can be played without prior knowledge of or viewing of the movie, but watching "Finding Nemo" first would certainly help.

Recommended for younger kids, but entertaining, for an hour or two, for the older crowd.

NEMO RULES!

I am a finding nemo fan, and when I saw the movie, I knew
that I was in love with it. The game itself is beutifle and fun.
I like the games where you have to chase stuff, or when you are running away from something...Well anyways, I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do.

Scale of 1-10: 11.

Great! This was one of the best thing in the WORLD! Aaaaaaahhhhh! AWESOME!

Way too many "chase" sequences

game would be better without the nearly impossible chases in it

graphics - 5 stars
storyline - 5 stars

game play - less than 0

This game is too hard for kids under 8, which is the film's target audience.

Five Stars ONLY Because it's "Finding Nemo"

I am giving this game 5 stars because "Finding Nemo" is the best movie ever and I don't have the heart to rate any FN product with fewer than 5 stars out of 5, a perfect score, 'kay? But before you lukewarm Nemo fans go rush out and buy it, hear me out. This is for hardcore FN-worshipping maniacs/fanatics only. Not only that, but they MUST be over 12 years of age (unless they're extremely intelligent video game afficionados.) The PC game was almost too easy, but this game is exceedingly difficult, I must warn potential players. Now, aside from having adorable scenes, all the characters, and their original voice actors, there are things I should make you aware of. First, there's a lot of repitition in it. You finally get through one part, thinking you've done it, and they make you go through the same really hard thing twice more. The races and chases (especially with a current of water pushing you off-course) are particularly time-consuming, not because of length but because of sheer difficulty and the number of frustrating times you'll be required to attempt them. And as for those sliding tile puzzles, forget it! I spent over an hour trying to work out the one of those pipes in the submarine.

Now, I am 16. I'm not exactly a great video game player, but I am having trouble with this game. There are times when you want to tear out your hair and scream, "What do you want from me?!?" because you've done every possible thing you can think of and you're still not beating the level. A few problems:
1. Forget the little Mario "life-pies." You don't just lose energy when something bad happens to you along the way (which is, inevitably, very frequent.) And then, they start you ALL the way at the beginning! Luckily, anything you've defeated up to that point remains gone, but you still must go through the bloody course again before you get another chance. The only way to avoid this is to gather krill--and you lose multiple krill every time you get hurt. They're not much help. It's a no-win situation, usually.
2. Forget assistance from the instruction manual. It's useless. It gives you no hints, no directions on what to do or where to go. You're left entirely on your own. How you're supposed to get out of the water treatment plant, I don't know, I need help. I've only had the game two days. But still.
3. The bonus game with the moonfish and their shapeshifting is, as far as I can tell, bogus. They show you a shape that looks like...well, absolutely nothing at all. A blob. You figure out which character it is, then click on them. Sadly, the fish show you two shapes at once! And then, no matter WHO you click on, you're marked wrong! So it's a truly impossible game.

The game has its strong points. The characters are funny, the animation is cool, they show you pretty pictures and the trailer. The game DOES NOT curse. Some of the levels are challenging without being absurd. It's great for teens with alot of free time on their hands. But it's NOT a little childrens' game. Much too difficult. But as fed-up with this as I may sound, it's NOT a disappointment. Rather, I feel it's a good time. *laugh* After all, it's "Finding Nemo"....it HAS to be good.
