    The Chronicles could get younger players hooked on adventure gaming.
  2. The game is not spectacular but looks and plays well enough to keep the players entertained, and it doesn't entail much frustration, unlike other games of the family action / adventure genre.
  3. The Spiderwick Chronicles won’t appeal to anyone. This game is primarily aimed at the younger crowd, the fans of the film and the books. If you don’t fit in one of these categories, then you should look elsewhere.
  4. I was surprised at how simple and fun the fairy collection was, but the combat mechanics are a dull affair. Traipsing around in the walls isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and the game’s reliance on the field guide is a lazy design trick.
