The Xbox LIVE Vision Camera, used for many of the games, is a complete bust (surprise!) forcing players to rely on a sometimes baffling controller scheme.

The microgames that are genuinely entertaining are few and far between, and, due to their nature, over far too quickly.

As a whole the game feels undercooked, unpolished and ultimately unsatisfying.

While the game is fun in spots, Rocky and Bullwinkle is a wasted opportunity.

The moose and the squirrel join a handful of friends to push buttons in the right order. [Issue#33, p.117]

Cheat Code Central
Not nearly enough craftsmanship went into the creation of the title and the end result is a meager offering.

The game’s characters look like poorly-drawn imitations of the classic cartoons, feeling like cheap flash games than any sort of licensed imagery.

What do you get when you mix a 50-year-old animated franchise with 21st-century downloadable games? A poor microgame collection.

A game with no originality and not much excitement, either.

Official Xbox Magazine
Keying on the show's rudimentary (and universally derided) animation instead of its wonderful writing and goofy humor demonstrates an atrocious error in judgment. [May 2008, p.76]

What at first sounds like 'fun for the whole family' turns out to be a bad case of 'fun for nobody.' Rocky And Bullwinkle is an unfortunate case of a good license slapped on a terrible excuse for a game.

Zen Studios didn’t spend much time or money on Rocky & Bullwinkle, so why should you?

Zany, but this price is just ridiculous. [June 2008, p.79]

Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
Over 100 minigames, none of them as good as the "Wario" equivalents. [July 2008, p.96]

Rocky and Bullwinkle is an under-developed, under-performing mess of a game, a Flash-based experiment in pure tedium.

If you don't have the resources to do something like Rocky and Bullwinkle justice, don't bother making a game at all.
