This game was really, really great! Not a fan of the movie, but the game is well worth playing! I love the searching aspect of the game. When I thought I was stuck, I really wasn't---some items you need you can't get until you have done other things. Although I am an adult, I did need a bit of help when it came to the henchmen and crabs at the dock----there were quite alot of them, and I just couldn't shoot fast enough. The various items that Violet and Klaus use to get through the game are rather inventive and cool. You may want to aim your target eye above your target (like the crabs) just a bit to do the job. Sunny, the baby, was a corker---you will use her for crawling into areas to help Klaus and Violet. Some areas you will think you will never get through, but you will with perserverance. Repeating by learning the pattern or route will finally get you through, like in the house when the floorboards are flying away or when Violet has to float with the umbrella around the halls landing on various floorings (some will dump you and then some are stable) to get to the next door. Whether you like the movie or not, you love this game. It is addictive and mind-stimulating and just a lot of great fun!!!Read full review
This game would appeal to kids who really like a challenge. The best part about playing this game is that you can kill rats and fight a guy who has hooks for hands. You also get to make all kinds of different inventions. It's a great game for 7-10 year olds.
this is a great kids and family game, great graphics, you have to use your brain to figure things out in this. It is based on the movie, however there are more interesting things in this game. there is no cause for concern of children playing this, no bad words, no gory violence, they do have to swat at rats and things like this. Does have some spooky sequences which may frieghten younger children. my daughter is almost nine and loves this game. I am very strict when it comes to what I let my children view and this is great for them.
I bought this game because I love the movie and Jim Carrey. I had a feeling that the game would be awesome as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Jim Carrey's voice was actually used and recorded for the game, as well as the other actors. Gameplay is wonderful and very interesting, great plotline that will keep players interested. Highly recommended.
Challenging enough for adults who just want for game night to be eventful. Its very fun.
