This game is rated E for everyone so I bought this for my 5 year old. I think it would be a great game but there is so much reading and my daughter can't read yet so she got very frustrated with this game. Recommend for children over the age of 7

For my 5 yr. old Princess (who plays her "gamegirl" only for 20-40 a day, just loves the Nemo game. It challenges her just enough, so does not get bored of if real fast. And the game is not scarey, nore does it have negative graphics. Clean fun!

Another fun Disney game.

Finding Nemo is a father-son fish, underwater adventure. The son is the start of the show, Nemo, a boy clownfish. He has a problem swimming and he wants to go to school. He also has to deal with an overprotective father. His adventures will lead him away from his coral reef home. His timid father must then search the ocean to find and save him. I am only on the second level, but I'm enjoying the game. If your a fan of Nemo, you'll love this game...

You know I love Nemo, but this isn't even fun!

Forget for a moment the wonderful movie that inspired this game. The game itself is horrible! It is much too difficult for even a 16-year-old gamer like myself to play without getting frustrated by the second level! On the one hand, it's dull because the entire game consists of performing the same tasks over and over. Yet, it's extremely difficult because you're given so little health and so many opportunities to lose it--and far too few to recover it. A challenge? It's beyond "a challenge" when you run into twenty times as many dangerous fish, scallops that pop up at you every second, and clams that require pearls to be placed inside them as you encounter the anemones needed to "rub up against" to regain your "health." Not to mention those infernal "currents" that the Nemo games are obsessed with throwing at you! It never fails to take a good six attempts or more to get through those blasted things. And what's more, the chomping mollusks, biting fish, and churning currents were quite plainly the ONLY good ideas they had for these games, because they're the only things you continue to meet with. It almost isn't worth the trouble of advancing to the next levels when you know they're only going to contain more of the same...even though you want to meet the other characters and conquer the bloody game, so it's very irritating. Perhaps the worst part of it all is that, should you run out of health in a level--no matter how far you've managed to come!--you must start the entire thing over from the beginning. Losing all one's health is all too easy in such a game as this to justify the fact that starting over is required when it runs out. Like all Gameboy games, the character's don't talk, if you're wondering. And the graphics are mediocre. I was extremely lenient on the other Nemo video games in my reviewing, but not this time. I am tired of buying poor games simply because I can't refuse anything with Marlin and Dory on it when I see it in the store. Therefore, I'm trying to warn others now: This game is impossible for little kids. It's annoying for anyone older. As tempting as it is, I really wouldn't recommend it.

Fun until you get to the level w/ Bruce

This is a great game and had fun playing it until I got to the level with bruce the shark. First of, you have to swim through the field of mines and its really hard because they are all really close together. The one time I did make it past that I found out that the next level is rrrrreeeeeaaaaalllllly hard!!!!!!!! It's the part where Bruce goes mean and is trying to eat you. You have to dash away really fast before he catches you WHILE dodging walls and other things. It might sound easy but it's not! I suggest you don't buy this game and spend your money on a different game.

Terrific Game!!

Buying the Finding Nemo movie, we found a game attached for a PC. I installed and my five year old absolutely loved it. It was frustrating for her though- it was a demo and you could only play one scenario. With her enjoyment of the game, I decided to get her a Game Boy for Christmas, and the Finding Nemo game. Unfortunately, this is not the same game included with the movie. This game is impossible for small children to play with any proficiency. It is a nice game for older children, but you will only find a frustrated child if she or he can't read well or doesn't have patience to manuever some rather complex levels.

Too hard for Kids!!

I got this for my daughter who is 6 and the game is absurdley difficult. Most of the levels don't even explain what you are supposed to do or why. I am a good gamer and I just gave up trying to help her as each level is increasingly difficult and annoying, making you start from the beginning every time.

The makers of this game clearly have not tested it with children and probably think it is easy because all they do is play video games. DO NOT WASTE your Money!! Shrek 2 is a far superior game!

Frustrating for the under 7 crowd

My children got Finding Nemo and Rugrats All Grown-up both for Christmas. While the Finding Nemo game is more exciting, and has better graphic, they have never made it past level 2. The best feature on the Rugrats All Grown-up is the map showing your location and what you are trying to locate. It gives the kids a shot at accomplishing the task. The Finding Nemo could use this feature. The kids have stuck with Finding Nemo more than the Rugrats All Grown-up game but do voice their frustation.

An utter disappointment for an adult...

The ONLY reason I gave this game 2 stars is because I imagine if I were 15 years younger I would have enjoyed it...at least slightly. The graphics are your basic GBA graphics, as well as the sound....but ZERO difficulty or challenge for a gamer of the adult kind. Literally, I bought this game one afternoon, played it for about 20 minutes at work, got home from work and had it beat before dinner. It goes along the story line of the movie, and in between challenges you hear the movie retold on narrative screens. You can't go back and replay any of the levels-not that there's any need to since you can't really beat them w/o finding everything to begin with. I guess the dumbest part was collecting star rings to be given multiple chances at a matching game in between each level, but the matching games hold no relevance or benefits to the game whatsoever...

I was just very disappointed-I traded it off for another game the very next day.
