Finding Nemo

"Finding a movie"

Introduction
If you are now reading this review, it's mainly because you must already know that this game is based on a Disney cartoon, called ''Finding Nemo''. Although this one is not based on a classical story, it is somehow interesting...

Gameplay
Mainly you will be controlling Nemo and his father, who are fishes. After entering the first level (which is just a tutorial level), you will see a colourful scenario and your father (well, kinda, he is Nemo's father!) will teach you most of the things you will need to know in order to fully be able to complete this game. After the end of the level you will be faced with a puzzle in which you have to guess the pairs, and this event will follow every level... Most of the levels are simply played as this first one, meaning that you will just need to avoid some bad fish, push some rocks and break others, plus giving perls to some marine animals (don't remember the english word for their name, sorry!) in order for them to let you pass. Other levels are played in a different way, for example you may need to perform certain mini-games (like putting a certain ammount of perls in a box or catching bubbles), find some ''friends'', run from a shark or other things. However, most of these tasks are quite easy to complete and turn this into a game which is only nice for kids, mainly those kid's who liked the movie.

Story
Exactly the same story as the movie. I mean, a little fish called Nemo was taken from the sea by a fisherman and now his father is trying to get him back! Looks easy, hum? Well, what if he has to search his son from the entire world? Maybe he will find him, with your help! ;-)

Graphics/Sound
The graphics look good, you can clearly see your characters moving smoothly and the same goes for the other things you will find in your quest. The sound isn't great, however it will be good enough for keeping you playing for some time.

Play Time/Replayability
Unfortunately, this is one of the worst points about this game. You can easily finish this game in one or two hours, and the only thing that may keep you playing for more time are the puzzles that you need to complete after each level which grant you images that later will appear in an image gallery, but apart from that this doesn't have anything else for keeping you playing.

Final Recommendation
Truly, I think that this game is only good for little kids who liked the movie, since the game is really easy.
