The two words I thought when I was gave this game were "kids game", the reaction I get to all platformers based on movies or cartoons. But this game proved me wrong. The touch screen, though not used often is used in the most interesting way I have seen for these style games. Using the touch screen, you just simply tap the character you want to play as and they appear on the screen. This, however, is not used really often and is only in levels that there is more than 1 character to play as.

Gameplay wise, this game is on a par with other games on DS and uses the same style visuals (2D background, 3D graphics) as Sonic Rush.

Overall, I recommend this game to fans of the movie and anyone
