  1. Excellent graphics, animation, voice acting and control make the GCN adaptation of Finding Nemo a pleasure to watch and play. [July 2003, p.145]
  2. It’s frustrating at certain points, while other gameplay is sloppy executed.
  3. Unlike a lot of titles geared toward the younger set, this one is actually fun and well designed, with great graphics and good sound. [Aug 2003, p.93]

    Making a game intended for children does not make poor game design OK. While children may indeed enjoy parts of Finding Nemo, it is likely it will greatly frustrate them in the long run, and frustration for frustration’s sake is simply no fun.

    Rented this for my 6 yr old. Positives: Clean graphics. Colorful creative challenges. Non violent. Uses some of the humourous lines from the movie. Negatives: - Long loading times between levels - 3 to 4 minutes. - The first level is quite easy with each level increasing. The skill level required increases too quickly with each level for the younger kids. After some strong frustration, the youngster turned the controls over to me. - Repetitive game play skills. In some levels you must chase the fish and catch it while targeting and going through rings to increase your speed in keeping up with the fish. If you fail, you are doomed to repeat this same scene until you get it. - We made it to the Catch Dory level (about level five). After chasing Dory in literal circles for almost ten minutes, I began feeling nauseaus, as well as my older daughter who was watching (she plays many video games and has never felt ill before). My youngest had no complaints except that it was getting boring. We all agreed on this. We never did catch Dory. The game as a whole was frustrating, and eventually boring. On the first day of a six day rental, I returned it for credit. Game not recommended. Expand
