This game is wholesome - not only kids could enjoy the fun of playing but adults too!!! Kids not just learn logic but the right attitude too.

I got this game for granddaughter and she has enjoyed it ever since. In fact all of the kids are having the best times ever with a game. I think Grandma did right this time.

This game is rated E for everyone and is targeted for a younger audience. My son is eight and has great difficulty in many areas. My daughter is six and can't play it all. And because you have to go all the way back to the beginning of a level when you quit, we often leave the game paused and turn off the t.v. so we don't have to lose what progress we've made. I don't reccommend this game for younger children. Save it for the older kids.

This game was the worst game i have ever played!! It is worse than the movie!!

I bought this game about a year ago.I thought the game was allright.It is kind of repative and has lots of puzzles in it.There are several levels where you have to slide blocks around to form a picture.I do not like these puzzles and never have.You do basically the same thing in each level but sometimes it is switched up a bit by changing characters.My four year old daughter likes it(but can only play the first few levels)This game is not for small children but if you like puzzles and mazes then you will probably like this game.Not for everyone but not a terrible game.

Parents do not buy this game for little chirdren, The only thing that gave it one star is because I sort of like nemo that OTHERWIZE I would give it a zero. Do not be fooled by the easy look of the game because it is quite hard. I think the hardest part was the time when you have to follow gill because of the snails and the bouncing ball. So parents only buy this game if your child is at least 7 or higher because of the hardness.

Someone asked about the snail thing and I had trouble with this part too but eventually figured it out. Start at the part with just two snails and then work your way over to the other end, but there's only enough time to bounce on each snail one time so move quickly. Hope that helps.

I REALLY LIKE THE GAME FINDING NEMO I PERSONALLY HAVE BEAT THE GAME BUT OF COURSE I AM AN ADULT BUT MY CHILD IS JOSHUA AND HE IS ALMOST 4 YEARS OLD AND HE LOVES IT IT'S JUST LIKE THE MOVIE AND I REALLY LIKE THAT FOR HIM HE PLAYS AND ALSO PASSES THE BOARDS SO IT IS EASY FOR A YOUNGER CHILD AS WELL AS OLDER CHILDREN ...WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SINCERELY MICHELLE GUTIERREZ

During training with Gil, Nemo is stuck bouncing endlessly on the snails. What does Nemo have to do to get past this level???

This game is difficult for young gamers.

My mother picked this game up for my 3 year old son for Christmas and it is just too hard for him. He is fairly good with video games such as Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and the whole Spyro series etc. However this game is just too hard for him to master just yet. My 10 year old daughter can play it but struggles with it. Even when I play it I find myself struggling with some of the levels. The controls are a bit difficult until you get adjusted to them and even after playing it for a while I still have trouble getting through some of the rings I need to swin through. It's a challenging game and the graphics are really good but beware of the gaming level of the person you are buying it for.

This game was a little disappointing. Slow loading time. Tiring levels, especially chasing Dorey. Wish the game had a little bit more adventure in the levels without the time limits.

I'm 10 and loved this game it's fun and great for 10 and older kids because it's kind of hard. Finding Nemo lovers will love this game! Everyone should buy it!

This video game is rather repetitive. Most levels involve merely swimming through rings over and over. However, given this simple game play a younger child will probably find it too difficult or frustrating to play it for long.

You are given plenty of chances to practice a level in the face of failure, so with some patience each level can be finished. It's too bad that the control in this game is a bit off, which is what makes completing the simple repetitive levels harder.

Nemo fans will enjoy the clips from the movie that are integrated into the game. The in-game engine bits however are a bit off and disappointing since they are animated at a lesser level than the Pixar clips.

What's the matter with all of you saying that you "gave this game a five only because the movie is great", this is an AMAZING game...If you liked the movie, you have to like the game, because that's all the game is, the movie.

This game is great because you get to do everything you see in the movie. You get to run away from bruce, and hop on the Mines, it's a great game/movie, I love this game and anyone who loved the movie should love this game too.

This game is extremely hard!!!Somehow though,i manged to beat it.
The controls are horrible,same with Brightness!! And the voices are totally off,The Gill in the game sounds NOTHING like William Dafoe!!(i might have spelt that wrong.) Probably the only good thing is the Graphics.The two hardest levels are probably the jellyfish one and where you have to follow Bruce. When your ollowing Bruce the tides push you away from the rings and if you even miss 4,HE EATS YOU!! It's really hard to manuver in the jellyfish level because some of the jellyfish are duds!!so not fair!!! Only buy this game if your A Finding Nemo addict like i am.

This game is sort of ok until you meet bruce,then the game starts getting a lot tougher.
like i said before,disney and nickelodeon are probably the worst game publishers on the earth.
don't buy!! unless you loved the movie like i did.This game just plain SUCKED!!!i can never get past that bruce level!!
they all look nothing like the movie and they sound like a dead monkey played all their voices!!5 words:
S-U-C-K-S
sincerly,
kenny

This game would be kind of fun except for the loading problems. They are horrible, it takes forever to do anything on this game because you are waiting so long for it to load. Can you sense my frustration!!! I hope everyone rents before they buy this and see if they can stomach it! The graphics are good so that is why I give it a 2.

This game was first rented to rate the level of difficulty. It was easy enough for my six year old to be entertained, although she played for 15-20 minutes. Recommended purchase.

i love findig nemo. i even had a finding nemo theme for my birthday. the graphics in this game are awesome! there are even clips from the movie. this game is just so hard! when you follow bruce the currents take you away and its very hard to control the character. i can never get past that level!

My 4-year old son went through his little "Nemo phase", so of course we had to try the PS2 game out. Here are the good and the not so good....

PROS
--Graphics are top notch. Characters are instantly recognizable. Lots of movie footage.
--Sound is impressive as well; the voices are here and so are the sound effects.
--Lots of different challenges; game appears to be pretty lengthy.

CONS
--Play control can be a little awkward, so the kids may get frustrated.
--Annoying amount of loading, plus the load times are pretty long compared to other games. The price one pays for all the footage put on the game.
--Challenges are a little too challenging at times for youngsters.

BOTTOM LINE
Try this game as a rental or pick it up used.

Finding Nemo is a great game. THQ has done a good job in following the movie example. The graphics are excellent. I have never seen a more beautiful game than this. This game is completely underwater which may be different for some players. This game looks like it has been taken right out of the movies. It's that good. THQ has added clips from the movie in this game which suits perfectly. A great game for people of all ages. Children will especially love this game. I can play it over and over. You get so into it. I myself was tensed at a few places. I LOVE this game. You should BUY IT!

I bought this game for my 4-year-old, and she really does enjoy the music (best I've ever heard in a childrens game) and graphics. The story follows the movie storyline, which also appeals to the younger ones. But after 2 or 3 levels (of around 20 levels), the level of difficulty skyrockets, so she can no longer play without my help. The makers of this game should have put in a way to change the level of difficulty, but apparently they did not. I am an accomplished gamer, but one of the levels actually took me 2 hours to complete (you are forced into this duration of play if you do not want to lose your progress -- no way to save the game until you complete a level). Getting a child to stop playing this game (bed time, dinner) will force them at times to lose their progress, and no doubt get them upset. I would recommend this for ten years old and older -- even adults -- who love challenging puzzle games. But watch out -- if you want to beat the game, be prepared to stare at a TV screen for hours and hours without blinking.

This game is very true to the Finding Nemo movie.It is cool to not only watch the movie,but to live it!On some levels you are Nemo,Marlin or Dory (who was my favorite character in the movie).
If you like Finding Nemo the movie, you will like this game. :D

I am giving this game 5 stars because "Finding Nemo" is the best movie ever and I don't have the heart to rate any FN product with fewer than 5 stars out of 5, a perfect score, 'kay? But before you lukewarm Nemo fans go rush out and buy it, hear me out. This is for hardcore FN-worshipping maniacs/fanatics only. Not only that, but they MUST be over 12 years of age (unless they're extremely intelligent video game afficionados.) The PC game was almost too easy, but this game is exceedingly difficult, I must warn potential players. Now, aside from having adorable scenes, all the characters, and their original voice actors, there are things I should make you aware of. First, there's a lot of repitition in it. You finally get through one part, thinking you've done it, and they make you go through the same really hard thing twice more. The races and chases (especially with a current of water pushing you off-course) are particularly time-consuming, not because of length but because of sheer difficulty and the number of frustrating times you'll be required to attempt them. And as for those sliding tile puzzles, forget it! I spent over an hour trying to work out the one of those pipes in the submarine.

Now, I am 16. I'm not exactly a great video game player, but I am having trouble with this game. There are times when you want to tear out your hair and scream, "What do you want from me?!?" because you've done every possible thing you can think of and you're still not beating the level. A few problems:
1. Forget the little Mario "life-pies." You don't just lose energy when something bad happens to you along the way (which is, inevitably, very frequent.) And then, they start you ALL the way at the beginning! Luckily, anything you've defeated up to that point remains gone, but you still must go through the bloody course again before you get another chance. The only way to avoid this is to gather krill--and you lose multiple krill every time you get hurt. They're not much help. It's a no-win situation, usually.
2. Forget assistance from the instruction manual. It's useless. It gives you no hints, no directions on what to do or where to go. You're left entirely on your own. How you're supposed to get out of the water treatment plant, I don't know, I need help. I've only had the game two days. But still.
3. The bonus game with the moonfish and their shapeshifting is, as far as I can tell, bogus. They show you a shape that looks like...well, absolutely nothing at all. A blob. You figure out which character it is, then click on them. Sadly, the fish show you two shapes at once! And then, no matter WHO you click on, you're marked wrong! So it's a truly impossible game.

The game has its strong points. The characters are funny, the animation is cool, they show you pretty pictures and the trailer. The game DOES NOT curse. Some of the levels are challenging without being absurd. It's great for teens with alot of free time on their hands. But it's NOT a little childrens' game. Much too difficult. But as fed-up with this as I may sound, it's NOT a disappointment. Rather, I feel it's a good time. *laugh* After all, it's "Finding Nemo"....it HAS to be good.

game would be better without the nearly impossible chases in it

graphics - 5 stars
storyline - 5 stars

game play - less than 0

This game is too hard for kids under 8, which is the film's target audience.

Great! This was one of the best thing in the WORLD! Aaaaaaahhhhh! AWESOME!

I am a finding nemo fan, and when I saw the movie, I knew
that I was in love with it. The game itself is beutifle and fun.
I like the games where you have to chase stuff, or when you are running away from something...Well anyways, I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do.

We chanced upon this game at the local video store and began playing it while our friend looked around. When we left, we had been there for an hour and a half, all the while playing the game.

The game is extremely simple, operatable and probably comprehendable by a 5- or 6-year-old. You basically use the directional pad and a little speed burst button. The premise pretty much follows the movie, and you spend most of the game traversing the ocean.

The game took about 15 minutes to master, in terms of control, particularly with the change from side to front-and-back views in an annoyingly long sequence where you must chase Dory, the blue fish who helps you accomplish the title. You have to direct Nemo's father against or with the current, making sure to avoid bumping into crabs, blowfish, or other monstrous sea creatures. You can neutralize some of them by tail-whipping convenient bubbles into their direction (the bubble pretty much auto-pilots and heads straight for the "enemy" and traps them).

The sound is terrific, and the graphics are very cool, not quite as graphically sound as the movie, but top-notch for a video game. This can be played without prior knowledge of or viewing of the movie, but watching "Finding Nemo" first would certainly help.

Recommended for younger kids, but entertaining, for an hour or two, for the older crowd.

We recently purchased this game for out 4 year old daughter and she loves it! Sometimes it becomes a little difficult for her and she gets frustrated, but she quickly goes back to playing it again. Our 11 year old daughter loves it also, even though it is only one player, they just take turns! I even find myself sitting there and playing it with them.
For a family, this is a good game. Some games for kids are just too hard, take for instance Powerpuff girls, my 4 year old will not even play it, she just becomes angry and cries!
The graphics are nice, looks just like the movie...and another bonus, it comes with a free child's ticket to see Finding Nemo the movie!

I actually haven't seen the movie yet, but this game certainly made me wanna see it bad. The fact that it came with a free movie ticket helps, too...

This game is gorgeous. The animation is absolutely amazing, and it blends well with clips from the movie. Every stage is different, and you never seem to get bored (and trust me, I get bored easily with games).
It's colorful, full of action, and the characters are adorable! If you have kids, you HAVE to get this game. It will keep them interested for days!
I definitely recommend Finding Nemo.

This has to be the best Pixar film game to date.
It is visually superb, the characters are superbly modelled and as rich and vibrant as their film counterparts. The gameplay is a pleasing mix of puzzles, platforming, racing, you name it. The bonus games are especially fun.
And there is plenty to the game to keep the youngsters amused, and the adults entertained, an absolutely excellent movie tie in, that would stand up on its own right. Something very rare nowadays.
This game represents fantastic value for money and is a must have for any Pixar/fish fans.

Finding Nemo is a horrible game. Who wants to be a baby fish going underwater? This game is based on the dumb movie Finding Nemo about some a silly fish separated from his father. I would give this game a zero-star rating but i can't.

finding nemo is based on the disney movie coming out this summer where a father fish is sadly separated from his young one. Embark on an adventure as you search the ocean world for the young fish as you encounter many obstacles along the way: sharks, whales, and even dolphins. For all you disney lovers out there you might want to try this game.
