Alright, this game has been bashed to the max on reviews. I bought this because I loved the movie so much. I have played through the whole game once and unlocked the oompa loompa album and the mini games. The game is geared towards kids, but adults can enjoy this game as well. The game is actually challenging for a young child and an adult. There is alot of going back and forth and on some levels with the oompa loompas. I had to replay alot of levels just to get all the candy pieces and the letters to spell WONKA. The last level in the glass elevator is pretty challening by itself. You have to steer the elevator past all the fireworks and balloons, then you have to creep through an underground tunnel. This elevator is not the sturdiest neither. Then you have to land on the house perfect to end the game. I actually landed worng and had to redo the level over again. There is a challenge, but if you play over and over again, you will conquer the game. I am actually wanting this game for Gamecube now just to play through it and own it. It is one of the few games that my 3 year old little boy can play and it is clean. I will say that it is not worth the $30.00 to buy it. I personally am trying to find the Gamecube version for as cheap as possible since I dumped the cas on the Gameboy Advance version and was able to complete the game in less than 10 hours.
