Finding Nemo is terrific!

My three year old loves playing "Finding Nemo" I love the educational, memory building games as well as the movie clips... a reward for completing 5 levels of play on each challenge. The feeding the shark ping-pong is a fun, slightly challenging game, and my son loves to swim with the sea turtles and play the "concentration"-type rock roll game. There is also a traditional "shell" game and a "simon"-like memory game in which you repeat shape patterns made by the moonfish. And of course, the highlight is the swimming with nemo adventures. I would highly recommend this software. It was easy to install and it's easy to use. My son can play it all by himself, changing games as he likes. He really likes the independence.

Good game for young kids

This collection of several games for young kids is entertaining and well designed for the most part. An added bonus is being rewarded with clips from the movie as you advance! Finally, kids software that is Mac OS X native. The games themselves are not bad -- the shell game (three shells get moved around, one with a fish under it; you guess which one has the fish), matching game, and "shark pong" game are well done. The turtle race and fish swim race are kind of weak. There's also a music band section that unfortunately is not very intuitive as to how to play around with the music. But, overall, a good value and fun for young kids!

Amazing Visuals

This game is by far the best children's game that I have bought for my 6 year old and 8 year old. They play is consistantly and I enjoy watching along with them. The gameplay is perfect, graphics amazing (award winning)and re-play value has been great. Shark game and memory are the coolest to my kids. Hats off, finally a game under valued at the price !!

SO Unbelievably Good!!

I saw "Finding Nemo" twice in theaters and just decided that it is officially my favorite movie. With most movies, you should probably avoid wasting your time and money on disappointing games and books, etc., and just see the movie. But to get the full "Finding Nemo" experience, you NEED to play this game and read the "Essential Guide" from Dorling-Kindersley. You actually WILL find out things you won't get from the movie.

I saw two "Nemo" games on the shelf when I bought this, and one said "Ages 4+." Being 16, I said, "No way. Too young." Then I saw this. No age limit. Rated "E" for everyone. And made by THQ, same brand as my previous "Spongebob Squarepants" PC game that I love so much. So, I purchased it. This game is so utterly adorable that no matter what age you are, you're guaranteed to love it! The game shows you a very large portion of the film itself in high-quality clips, and the graphics are excellent. The dialogue's even better; almost all of the movie's voice actors take part in this game, with the surprising exceptions, apparently, of Albert Brooks (Marlin) and Ellen DeGeneres (Dory)! But, their voices sound so similar you probably won't miss them too much. The rest of the cast is terrific and it's such fun to hear them speak, especially the tank gang, which in my opinion is the best part of the game.

These games are many and moderately challenging. You can't just sit there bored and make it through them in 20 minutes, but they are not long, dull, difficult, time-consuming, frustrating, mind-numbing, boring games either. They achieve the perfect 'game balance.' The game is not hard to figure out; it begins the story quickly and moves right on through, never leaving you confused as to where to go.

The games themselves are alot of fun. And there are quite a few of them. The very best part of the game is guiding Nemo around the tank, picking up Friendship Totems from all the fish and helping them out in minigames! It is truly, insanely cute. You get to meet everyone and interact. The characters are very funny, and like I said, the graphics are so mind-blowingly good that it looks just like the movie. Some of the best games are the Tiki Head game, the Jellyfish game with Dory & Marlin, the Anglerfish game, Catch the Bubbles & the Filter game.

Everywhere you go there are things to do! It's such a fun game, you'll play it over & over. I highly recommend this as a supplement to seeing "Finding Nemo!"

Cutest game I have seen so far.

My kids loved it. We haven't played it much, but whatever I have seen, this game impresses me a lot. Graphics are very crisp. There are movie clips that you get to see when you accomplish some task. Games are standard, but educational.

The main fish interacts with the children. The voice is naughty and childish, which attracts children. My three year old doubled up with laughter when the turtle bounced around in a game to capture mother of pearls.

A great buy indeed.

Not what I imagined

I know this game asks for the child to be age 4+, but even that age group will find this game difficult. My husband and I tried to help my son (age 3) with this game, and although my husband enjoyed parts of it, my son was very frustrated. The directions were confusing, even for us, and to acheive the purpose of the games was extremely difficult, and were not at all as educational as I thought they would have been. In addition, they were not that much fun either. I prefer Reader Rabbit for educational purposes and entertainment.

The graphics are top notch. There are seven games that will keep the little ones busy for hours. The instructions are spoken by the characters and are easily understood. Lots of movie clips too. Even my 2 year old enjoyed watching. My daughter loves this game. I highly recommend it! It came with a free movie ticket in it as well, great deal!

Maybe for younger kids?

Great movie!! Average game. I bought this game for my 8-yr old daughter because she just loved the movie, and I thought she can extend that enjoyment with this pc game. One hour later, she had finished the game! It was too short! I read the manual book just to make sure we didn't miss any other levels of play, but no. It was over. It's a good product with great cut scenes from the movie, but I think the 4 to 6 year olds would be better suited for this software.

I bought this for my daughter. She is 4.5 yrs old and I needed to get her some updated software. She sat down in front of the computer and played for several hours!

A must for children 4-6 who play educational PC games

I recommend this title to any children aged four to six, gifted children age three, and children aged seven and eight who need a quick fix of Nemo! The graphics and voices are the best in educational software today. The entertainment value apart from graphics and voices are above average with seven different games. Activity target skills include traditional hand-eye coordination and memory work with sequencing, recall, and matching. My four-year-old daughter loves it and she regularly plays about 30 current educational software titles for her age range.
