    Kids aren't going to want to rescue the bad guys of the movie, kids want to explore the factory, swim in the chocolate lakes and hijack cars.

    The whole game feels rushed. The graphics are very poor and the characters besides the Oompa Loompas really don’t look like their movie counterparts.

    Atrocious. And not "atrociously good fun" either. Simply atrocious. It's like biting into an Oh Henry and discovering that it is indeed, a big fat solid chunk of stanky human dung and undigested peanuts.

    The ominous Willy Wonka himself, whether it was intended or not, looks and sounds disturbingly like Michael Jackson, and his army of Oompa Loompa slaves are no longer the orange-skinned and green-haired midgets we know and love. [PC Zone]

    I thought it was really good for what it was trying to be. It set out to entertain kids and it did just that. So stop the complaining.

    The worst I ever played. My opinion is that games who based on movies made for kids can't hold the standart the film does. It may be better to put games like this on free sites to the free stuff.… Expand

    After an hour of this you'll develop a hunger to play a GAME.

    DEFINITELY not a game. Just a prequel to a good movie and a government experiment gone wrong. You will have much more fun playing a bad user created level in Little Big Plant than this.… Expand
