Summary

What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL-E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots. Players of the game take control of WALL-E and EVE through a fast-paced adventure based on the Disney/Pixar film. The game allows fans to relive some of the movie’s most thrilling moments as they explore 10 worlds filled with non-stop action and adventure, along with head-to-head multiplayer challenges. Players will recognize the storyline, characters and key locations from the WALL-E film as they carry out intense missions, dodge dangerous enemies and navigate their way through a futuristic world. In addition, the game contains new storylines and environments that movie-goers will not see in theaters. [THQ]

Cheat Code Central

The story is charming but ironic at the same time. Lighthearted humor is served throughout, making WALL-E one of the most fun kids’ games an adult can play.

DailyGame

WALL-E is a fun character and film, but while the game explores more of the movie's universe, the gameplay doesn't explore anything by familiar ground.

Wall-E is a much better game than many could have hoped for.

GameDaily

It's good but not great, occasionally running into camera problems that result in a lost life from a mistimed jump or getting "stuck" behind a wall. The multiplayer is good too, consisting of salvaging and shooting levels where you can compete with up to three other friends in offline split-screen action.

Jolt Online Gaming UK

It’s mildly entertaining, mildly disappointing, mildly challenging and overall just mild.

Worth Playing

While I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except kids (or their parents), in part because of the rather subpar control scheme, at least the older brother who has to watch or play along isn't going to be completely annoyed at the game's quality level.

GameZone

The main problem is that the developers really didn’t do anything to make this game stand out from other platform games and it isn’t “deep” enough to keep older gamers coming back.

GameSpot

Wall-E is overflowing with charm, but the simple gameplay makes the experience fall flat.

MEGamers

This is not a game you should be looking to add to your collection. It is just one of those games made to be bought for young kids that enjoyed the movie.

It even brings some clever and unique aspects to the game design including two fun sections where you can manually spin platforms around to create the best route.

Rent instead or save your cash for the DVD. [Sept 2008, p.79]

MS Xbox World

Another movie based game and another typical outcome, it's hard to have a hopeful attitude before entering this game into the tray because it's predictable of what it's going to be like.

A decent home console version.

Planet Xbox 360

The game will only take most gamers five hours, at most, to complete, but it does offer a little bonus replay value in the way of same-console multiplayer modes.

I've gotten used to not expecting much from movie games, and when I played the final version of WALL-E, it met those light expectations.

Totally360

As film licences go though, WALL-E definitely errs on the side of average and doesn't have enough going for it to work as a standalone title in its own right, leaning far too heavily on its source material and the hope that fans of the flick will pick it up rather than the game attracting players looking for something that little bit different.

Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

A potentially not bad Pixar tie-in that gets very average, very quickly. Shame. [Sept 2008, p.82]

Xbox360Achievements

This game offers a few fun moments but is just too short to justify much more than a rental.

A bot-standard, rusty platformer for kids. [Sept 2008, p.86]

Gameplayer

Loud and neon-soaked, it’s the quiet, subdued moments that truly capture the essence of WALL•E, a notion that is lost, for the most part, in this disappointing iteration.

Console Monster

Whilst WALL-E might be the most adorable robot you’ll ever see, the game certainly isn’t. The game feels rushed and is a very poor use of the license.

IGN

With tons of visual issues, a horrible camera and gameplay that isn't particularly striking or innovative, Wall-E does a disservice to the little robot that falls in love.

WonderwallWeb

Wall-E is your typical movie turned game, it feels rushed, the graphics are substandard and it isn't fun to play.

Game Revolution

It’s just a bit of, well, a waste. It begs for something more, some more substance to the charm that’s already here in spades—more under-the-hood play for those precocious kiddies, more behind-the-scenes goodies for those older kiddies-at-heart who, let’s face it, probably bought WALL-E for their own kids to play.

A pile of uninspired, by-the-numbers gameplay and missed opportunities.

Wall-E is yet another movie tie-in game that doesn’t meet the quality of the Pixar film.

Half-arsed dross.

Variety

Though it sharply replicates the film's look and sounds, the Wall-E game has none of the movie's romantic spirit as it sends the lead robot and his gal pal Eve on a set of uninspired missions pulled out of the videogame cliches handbook.

DarkZero

Somehow someone somewhere managed to design and create a game that is almost completely devoid of fun and enjoyment.

If throwing cubes of trash at buttons is up your alley, then we've got just the thing: Heavy Iron's game-itization of Pixar's WALL-E is an offal-chucking aficionado's dream come true. What it isn't, though, is much fun at all.
