bit-tech Review

"Sadly, this is not the case for the game version of WALL-E. This is firmly targeted at children, and there's very little here that will keep an adult amused for the full seven or eight hours of gameplay.

What's worse, there isn't really much that will keep children occupied for long, either. Awkward controls, simplistic puzzles and repetitive levels will put kids off just as much as adults.

In a way, it's disappointing because as the best computer animation company around, you'd expect Pixar to understand how best to convert a successful film into a successful game. Maybe if Pixar wrote games as well as made films, we'd be reviewing the best ever film-to-game conversion. Unfortunately, since the game is made by a licensee, the game falls far short of what could have been achieved.

Still, there's always the next Pixar film. We'll just have to cross our fingers and hope like doe-eyed irrepressible and strangely anthropomorphic androids." - 27th July 2008
