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!"

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.

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.

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 !!

A Big Hit with a 3-1/2 year old

My 3-1/2 year old son loves this and can run several of the games independently. It sometimes makes him laugh hysterically.

I have some pretty strong biases. I think most educational toys are oxymorons. I think a 3-1/2 year old should be having fun, not building a resume. I figure K-12 will provide plenty of opportunities for structured learning.

This is a great purchase if you want your child to enjoy time with a computer and get some basic mouse skills. The only draw back is that you may have to adjust your mouse settings with respect to left/right click recognition (some other software for the younger set handles this internally).

great for little people who love Nemo & fish

I saw the 3 star review and almost didn't purchase it. The negative reviews didn't help. But keep an open mind. My 3 year old grandson loves all the games. He is a little young but is learning as he goes. The film clips add a little extra to break up the games. What can I say, it's like a Pooh or Blues Clues CD., it's games, it keeps the little ones interest, while they are learning.

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!

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.

My Kid loves NEMO!

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!

Great Gift

Bought this for my kindergartner who produced excellent marks in her first six weeks of school. She has not stopped playing the game since we installed it. Good product.
