    Kids aren't going to want to rescue the bad guys of the movie, kids want to explore the factory, swim in the chocolate lakes and hijack cars.

    The whole game feels rushed. The graphics are very poor and the characters besides the Oompa Loompas really don’t look like their movie counterparts.

    Atrocious. And not "atrociously good fun" either. Simply atrocious. It's like biting into an Oh Henry and discovering that it is indeed, a big fat solid chunk of stanky human dung and undigested peanuts.

    This game is terrible in every area, with unresponsive controls, choppy graphics, and uninteresting minigames that look and feel a lot like the free Java/Flash games available on the Web.

    With little satisfying gameplay to back it up, Charlie's $30 price tag borders on insult. [Nov 2005, p.80]

    Like Veruca Salt, this game should be dumped down the garbage chute. [Nov 2005, p.79]

    The controls are awful, the camera is beyond appalling, the graphics are hideous, the environments are bare, the gameplay is unbearably repetitive and the whole thing is an utter chore to play.

    I thought it was really good for what it was trying to be. It set out to entertain kids and it did just that. So stop the complaining.

    Someone should take these guys to court. It should be illegal to put this out and call it a game. We should be able to get a refund.
