Finding Nemo Review (no fat)

Game Description

The fantastic Pixar/Disney flick “Finding Nemo” has made its way into the high-tech gaming world. The gaming version of Nemo tracks the plotline of the magnificently crafted movie to a virtual T.

Finding Nemo Gameplay

In Finding Nemo, the game, you are able to assume the role of Marlin, Dory or even Nemo -- three of the primary characters in the film. As in the animated motion picture, Nemo -- a young clown fish -- is separated from his loving father. As in the movie, the game obliges players -- no matter which character chosen -- to work to unite Nemo with his dad.

The game consists of twelve individual levels or stages of play which moves along almost identically as that in the movie. In other words, your progress through the levels as you play precisely as you would advance through a viewing of the highly regarded film.

The game itself moves at a pretty speedy pace. In addition to moving through the primary plot exemplified in each of the twelve stages of levels, there are a number of interesting secondary deviations that a player or gamer can opt to pursue and follow. For example, there are some alternate paths a player can take that lead to high speed chase scenes that add an additional element excitement to the overall context.

In some instances, you will encounter an obstacle or a menacing opponent and not really understand how he or she is to go about defeating the antagonist. There is an element of trial and error in responding to such an opposition throughout some of the levels of the game -- which render play a bit less than desirable.

Generally speaking, the game is fast paced and fun. Suitable for all ages, the challenges within the game are sufficient to keep even a skilled gamer interested and intrigued.

Finding Nemo Visuals and Graphics

With Disney and Pixar standing in the wings when it comes to the visuals and graphics associated with this game, you have a right to expect the best. Generally speaking, the game delivers with a high quality look that is hard to beat.

There is one problematic area within the visual context of the game itself. There are some sequences when you are involved in a high speed chase or pursuit of some sort. Unfortunately, during such sequences, the visuals mess into an incomprehensible blur. Of course, some might argue that the look is trying to accomplish the reality of speed. But, in reality, it’s a sloppy vision. Additionally, in the midst of the blurring dash, the graphics and visuals become a bit choppy and do not flow as smoothly as they do within the rest of the game.

However, with the one negative element duly noted, the graphics and visuals overall are well done and mindful of their origins in the fantastic work of Pixar and Disney. Indeed, some people who regularly involve themselves in GBA gaming may be set to conclude that in the complete scheme of things, the graphics in this game are as good as you get in the GBA.

Finding Nemo Visuals Sound Quality

Tapping from the soundtrack and the audio effects that made the filmed version of “Finding Nemo” a treasure, the game presents outstanding audio elements. The sound effects lend a believable element to the cartoon-ish world under the sea -- or wherever the sometimes hapless Nemo may end up during the course of play.

A special treat within the game is the fact that the voice styling's of the stars of the film are welcome additions to the game itself.

Finding Nemo Visuals Summary

In summary, Finding Nemo is an excellent selection and a game that is well worth the money. People of all ages will be transfixed by the visuals, gratified with the sound effects, and entertained by the game itself.

Finding Nemo Visuals Cost

The game retails for $19.95US at the time of this review.
