    There is no aspect of this title that is completely perfect, but every aspect is almost completely perfect, making for a pleasant diversion whose flaws are comparatively minor and won't detract from the enjoyment of the game.

    With a huge map to roam and numerous tasks to achieve, The Spiderwick Chronicles is definitely a game that takes patience.

    There is a big area to delve into, the music is great, and there is a lot of gameplay variety. There's something new to find around every corner, and that's something I can't say about enough games. The Chronicles could get younger players hooked on adventure gaming.

    The Spiderwick Chronicles isn't bad for a game-of-the-movie, but it's not good for a game.

    The Spiderwick Chronicles is a game that closely follows the story from the feature film and is about average.
  6. 1UP

    The Spiderwick Chronicles is a standard licensed game -- it's got just enough content to make a virtual reenactment of the Human/Goblin war worthwhile for fans of the franchise.

    Wandering back and forth through the same areas to collect one silly object after another will drive you "This is Sparta" raving mad, especially when you realize that you have to collect every fairy sprite and finish every last side quest just to see how the story ends.

    Awful. Just awful. The game doesn’t even work. So many glitches and bugs. Not to mention the game is so dark you can barley see what is happening.
