While the content is well designed, the player controls interface is horribly designed.

I purchased this game for my son. We are both avid gamers and have both found the controls frustrating. The inability to map controls makes it even more frustrating. Many times the game requires a player to manipulate many different controls that are spaced out where two hands and ten fingers are insufficient. Given the target market for this game, the frustration level must be very high for younger players.

Like many movie-themed games, this one was rushed to market with what has to be insufficient testing apart from the developers themselves. The fact that THQ had a hand in this should be a tip off. Infamous for its shoddy and rushed movie and television show themed titles and nearly non-existent support, THQ should be avoided... of course, if you have a 10-year-old dying to play a game from his new favorite movie, that doesn't help.

Unless the intended player is a very experienced gamer, I would suggest that you pass on this title for the PC and try a console version. This is obviously a game that was designed for a console and ported to the PC platform with little regard for effectively translating the controls to a keyboard and mouse combination.

Graphics are adequate. Video and audio options are light and control options non-existent.
