Review is for the Wii version:

The game itself isn't completely terrible, it just seemed like they rushed it out to cash in on the movie release. Gotta do it I suppose.

I would say this would be a good game for the youngest of gamers.
It's basically just a walkthrough, as in every time you have to perform an action the game tells you exactly what to do.
It might be helpful if the player can read but the game will show on screen which buttons to push and items will glow if you need to collect or perform an action with them. So even the youngest gamer might do great at this game.

I think the gameplay is geared toward ages 4 - 10, the closer you get to 10 the less this game is geared for you, you'll be craving more.
It's sad because with just a little more thought and tweeking it could be a fun game for all ages.

Control wise for the Wii is pretty weak. Again easy for 4 year olds but barely taking advantage of what the wiimotes can do.
Graphic wise it's just passing as well, but I must say I was very suprised the cutscenes were designed for the game & not just cut out of the movie.

This is a perfect rental game though, but I would pass on purchasing it.
You should be able to complete the game before it's due back. So for 6 or 7 bucks you could finish within a couple sittings.

Again it's not terrible, you just might not revisit it after completing it.
If you're over 10 find something else, but if you need a very easy action game for child under 10 than this could work.
