Unusually weird game. People may like the game in some ways, maybe have some fun. But some parts of the game are unbelivebly frustrating, and other parts put you in places where you have no idea what to do. I cant say its a horrible game, its a good game, but in its own way, maybe just for kids, definitley, but its for teenagers too, because... it works that way, and this is what makes the game akward. You start off in the game chasing a ten dollar bill down the street, because charlies family in the game is very poor. He buys a chocalte bar and wins the golden ticket, like the movie. Later on, you begin taking conrol of oompa loopas and ordering then to wait, fix, or follow you, full spectrum warrior or unreal championship 2 in kids manner. The game isnt to long, so not much lasting value. The sound is the best part of the game, though the music doesnt appeal to me, and gets annoying, really. The game is the least bit difficult, because even if you die you come back to life in the same area - no lives, no continues, you just keep going. The graphics are fine, normal and can be lived with, but nothing immpressive. And the controls are reasonable, nothing to hate, though nothing to love. The game really is weird. It cant be callled good, because it isnt, and it cant suck because it doesnt. I guess its an average game for some people, i really dont like playing it, but not because of its gameplay mechanics, because it just doesnt appeal, and is quite boring and frustrating. I guess anyone thinking about the game should try it, but dont but it, really, dont buy it.
