Review
------
The water looks so real in this video game that you fear
your TV might spring a leak. This adventure roughly follows the
plot of the movie. In the first level, you try to steer Nemo to
school, learning how to swim through bubble rings, pick up
pearls, and blast through piles of rocks. Fifteen levels later
(we counted 18 plus a bonus game), you reunite Nemo with his
her, after hours of mazes, memory games and live clips from
the movie. Here are the important details. First, there are
little or no noticeable differences between the PS2, GameCube or
Xbox versions of this game. Second, some of the levels are
frustratingly difficult to complete; especially the gear mazes
and the sliding square puzzles. Our testers would've liked more
3D exploring in the game, and noted that controls are awkward for
the backward-facing levels. Each level is recorded on an
innovative record keeping screen, and it is easy to save games,
which you'll need to do often in order to make it through all 18
levels. As with many other videogames, when you "die" you are
sent back to the start of the level. There's some wonderful
programming in these games, including the fighting the water
currents (you really empathize with what real fish have to put up
with), the ways you can dart again rocks to move them, or pick up
pearls with a fin. The bottom line? This is a beautiful, rich and
challenging game with minimal educational value, that will take
many days to finish. Developed for THQ by Traveller's Tales.
