Critic Reviews

80 IGN
Absolutely worth picking up.
70 GameZone
A solid challenge for younger gamers, the game treads familiar platforming ground, but manages to capture the themes of the television show. Not overly original, still the license is used decently here to power a solid side-scrolling platformer.
67 Gaming Age
Surprisingly fun, for as long as it lasts. It's definitely a step in the right direction for a licensed game based on a kids cartoon, and at the budget price of $20 it's not a bad idea to check it out.
65 PSM3 Magazine UK
You don't particularly enjoy it, mind, you just get through it. [May 2008, p.80]
63 Games Master UK
Gets old quickly but satisfying for youngsters and fans of the show. [May 2008, p.84]
40 Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
Pointless, boring and annoying; a one-idea game that's so difficult it'll make your kids hate themselves. [Apr 2008, p.83]
35 Gamers' Temple
El Tigre does little to resemble the television series that it is taken from and the gameplay found therein is very repetitive.
30 Thunderbolt
When the included episode and a couple of the music tracks are the highlights of the game, there is something not right about the entire package.
