  1. This game offers such an immense variety of levels and fun gameplay that you cannot simply ignore it, even as an adult. Kids will absolutely go bananas over the fun characters, the colorful environments and the fun storyline. The only let down is a touch of the soggy control syndrome, but hey - chances are you won't care if you're a 10 year old kid.
  2. The game clocks in at less than three hours with a skilled gamer at the helm, but kids interested in taking Sid and his friends on a fun journey will find plenty to love.
  3. 47
    The replay value ain't up to much, either. [Issue#182, p.77]

  1. i bought this game specifically for my 11 year old daughter, and she loves it, and i was surprised how well polished this title actually appears. not a bad kids title, since there is some variation in game-play as opposed to the typical generic movie platformer drivel we are all used to by now.
