  • Summary: The Zathura video game, based on the film of the same name, allows players to create their own high-action space adventures in a visually stunning 3D game environment. Based on the best-selling children's adventure book by Chris Van Allsburg ("Polar Express," "Jumanji"), Zathura follows two young brothers who find a mysterious board game that takes them on a wild ride through outer space. Meteor showers, out-of-control rocket-propelled robots and nasty alien lizards are among the obstacles they must overcome to get back to Earth. [2K Games] Expand

  1. Regardless of the fact that it is a kids game, Zathura really doesn't do anything more than create bad frame rate issues and a straining time on anyone.
  2. This is a short, tired, and ineffectual piece of work that is best left forgotten.
  3. It is rushed, cheap looking, repetitive and gets old fast, and for the price it's not worth it.

  1. I didn't like the game very much but there was some cool stuff in it! The Creature animations were pretty good. Two of the boss fights were interesting as well. Expand
