    While this isn't likely to be the most intense or challenging game you've ever played, it still manages to be quite a lot of fun.

    Fans of the film will enjoy this - especially the surprisingly enjoyable combat. [Apr 2008, p.56]

    It manages to take some advantage from the movie license. Its gameplay is accessible but interesting, with simple puzzles, platform jumps and combo based combats. It will please its target audience. [March 2008]

    A harmless piece of entertainment that might amuse those who are fans of the film and too young to really steep themselves in something complicated, but it's too obtuse and repetitive for older players.

    The Spiderwick Chronicles is really a poor excuse for an adventure game and an about average game in total, it is playable but not really that enjoyable.
  6. Gamestyle
    50
    Ultimately The Spiderwick Chronicles achieves what it sets out to accomplish, and that is satisfy fans of the source material.
  7. Gaming Age

    While Spiderwick Chronicles didn't turn out to be a pile of trash, it's far from special and doesn't warrant a second glance in just about any situation.
