No Save Feature

Would be a great game, if only it had a save feature.
I purchased it cuz I'm really into a mini-game phase, where I just wanna play little time wasters at random. This package has the games, but you have to fight to get to them. If you're in the mood to play breakout with the turtles then you have to spend 30 min earning your way to that point every time. By then you may be tired of playing anyway.

Anywho.. individual games are good (some for adults, some mostly just for younger kids), but the lack of a save feature is very frustrating.

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.

Not fun, too easy.

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.

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!

Too hard for young kids

I am an adult gamer and I have no idea how a young child is expected to be able to play this game. Some parts are so easy, you can finish within about 2 minutes and then other parts will have you pulling your hair out. I wouldn't buy it again.

fun but very hard

I like this game, but don't play it any more. I got it for new year with my own gameboy. Ok what I like about this game is that you can pick up some thing and throw it. I also like the 3D stuff like chase Dory or chase the turtle that said '' hey dude ''. Also it starts out simple like first level, going to school. Second level, going out to find your classmates and returning them to the sting ray guy. But the best part of this game is I one time just typed in something in the cheat code place, and without knowing, I got too the last level. What I don't like about this game is that it is too hard. This game is for people who want a challenge.

Would have been a 5 star, but......

Great game and a lot of fun! But control on some of the levels (especially the Bruce the shark chase level) is VERY difficult!! Plus, the life cycle is not consistent. On some levels, your energy level gradually drops with each "hit" until your man dies. On other levels, one hit kills you immediately, so you never get a chance to "feel out" the level. Also, on some levels (most notably the submarine) you wander aimlessly trying to find your way out, and it is impossible to figer out which lock opens the many doors. Some locks seem to open several doors, so there is a lot of back tracking!

I guess the point is to make it more challenging, but, come on, it's a Disney game!

Otherwise, great game. Really follows along with the movie!

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.
