I bought this for my kids with little to no expectations. They LOVE it, especially my 10 year old son. His other favorite game right now is Super Mario Galaxy and he spends his Wii time split between the two games. I haven't sat down and watched him play Ace in Action enough to give my personal opinion other than what I've heard him say. He has a friend coming over today and it's first on his agenda of things he wants to do (not Super Mario Galaxy).
The basic premise of the game is simple; you control Chicken Little and his friends as they play Chicken Little: Ace in Action. What this means is that you'll get commentary from the Chicken Little cast between missions, but you're essentially playing a game that's based entirely on the Ace character, which is pretty much a parody of any and every sci-fi show out there (Star Trek being a huge one). As Ace, you'll travel through space and take on foes in the typical licensed "Buzz Lightyear" fashion, having character spout off catch phrases and use wonky franchise-inspired weaponry throughout. It's a solid design, but there isn't much aside from the basic planet-to-planet layout.

It's the definition of basic action, but almost every element works the way it's supposed to. It would be easy to dismiss Ace in Action as yet another lukewarm, movie-licensed cash-in, but it would also be a mistake--there's actually an impressive game here, at least for a little while.
I like that it uses the voices of the children (from the movie; ie. chicken little)throughout the game as tho the kids are playing it themselves, I did not the fact that it was geared mainly towards older kids when the movie is for younger children. I bought it for my 6 year old daughter but my husband plays it more than she does as she finds it quite difficult and easier just to watch.
