    This game seems to intentionally want to be hard to play. It has multiple levels that are exactly the same, with no way around them, and has other parts that would be fairly workable if the cameras were in sensible spots. They aren't, so you can't see where you are trying to jump, then they shift mid-way through your action, so what was a right move is now a wrong move, you fell, haha tryThis game seems to intentionally want to be hard to play.

I got tired of trying to get us past everything.
    It's just not fun.    … Expand

    I rented this game from the local video store and love playing it! I originally wanted to buy it. I'm halfway through the game now so there's no sense in buying it. I'm just going to pay the late fees and finish the game. The game does have some flaws with moving and doing some commanding of the Oompa Loompas. I enjoy games like these.

I'm not very much of a fan of the shoot-em up style. If any games sucks it's the Grand Theft auto series! They make the games way too hard. I bout Vice City with my hard earned cash and resold it because I was bored after a half an hour.… Expand

    Yet another game based on a movie. This game should be rented before bought. If you ever played "The Series Of Unfortunate Events" than you know what the style of this game is. It does feature some interesting things within the game like the creepy umpaloompa. in all the game is ok.

    Thank Goodness we rented it first. At least I'm only out 6 bucks. One of the worst games we've ever had.

    This game has very short length, but good acting and music. It is not too bad of a game. I consider it an average game. If you liked the movie, you may end up wanting it. Rent it first.

    Don't ever consider buying this game like I did. Movie-to-game never works and it shows in this "game". Graphics are **** Gameplay is **** Everything is **** Do NOT buy this crap.

    As I painfully maneuvered my Charlie from room to room, I grew more and more desperate in my attempt to find redeeming qualities in the game.

    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.

    Charlie and the Boring Factory. It's hard to make a fun game based around these kinds of properties, but that doesn't justify bad gameplay, or a lack thereof.
