A highly repetitive maze game that is easy to master and flawed for it's 2nd grade simplicity. If you have young gamers in your house and are looking for something easy for them to master and succeed at, this is the game to get.

The game is flawed in that it doesn't save where you leave off. It always saves back one level so you have repeat the previous level before continuing. A real annoyance if you just completed a tedious maze and call it quits after that level.

There are 3 separate, unrelated stories that you have to complete in order, in order to advance in the game. No one story is particularly harder than the next, so I don't understand the need to do them in a particular order.

The DSI-only features are all hype and featured in other games so nothing new or worth any special mention.

What could have made the game more engaging would have been a builti in mission builder tool that would have allowed gamers to build their own missions.

I had higher hopes for this game and was disappointed. There was high potential here that never materialized in the game. Look for it in the bargain bin for that young gamer on your list.
