    It follows the beloved storyline with a wonderful cinematic flair, top-notch audio design, colorful yet simple graphics and a basic set of gameplay mechanics. However, a lacking of innovation and overall gameplay and graphical polish stunt the game's full potential and leave it as a just-above-average title only fans of the material and/or genre will find any value in.

    This has to be one of the worst games I've had the displeasure of playing in quite some time. [Sept 2005, p.100]

    It could have played like a slimmed down version of Pikmin crossed with quirky, yet solid platformer elements. Unfortunately, bad control and poor execution ruin the experience.

    The fantastical wonder that is the factory just doesn't feel as interesting or as fun as the movie and much of the situations begin to feel more like work. I highly suggest you skip this one.
