    Although it is in every way a simplistic take on often-recycled game concepts and mechanics, Where the Wild Things Are is still an enjoyable platform adventure that will keep many players - children and adults alike - interested until the end.

    The whole thing just feels bare. Oh, and that plot is a little over the top and just plain zany, although that's more of a subjective thing. I guess it just needed more in the way of substance, you know?

    Considering the fact that Where the Wild Things Are offers nothing in the way of exciting platforming or combat, and it doesn't even run all that well, I'd avoid this one altogether.

    I'm sorry to disagree with everyone, but this is actually a pretty fun experience. The mechanics are inventive, the atmosphere is memorable, and the level design is actually something I would expect from a top-notch developer. THIS is how you make a licensed game when you have no time or money. Take the game for what it is, people. I'm twenty-two and I actually enjoyed my weekend with this game. :)… Expand

    Very very bad! Please spare your money and time, and avoid this game. The gameplay is boring, youll end up hearing the same 4-6 tracks/songs over and over again, and dont get me started how stupid the wild things are! "Help were stuck in the goo" that is almost the only thing they can say! And they get stuck in the goo... alot!… Expand
