 Not too difficult. June 20, 2008
My 5 year old son plays this game and has no real trouble with it. He gets stuck in a few spots and it takes him some time to beat them. I have to read a few things for him, but he does okay playing alone.
The game follows the movie and is neat to watch.
 Frustrating December 4, 2007
We found the controls and graphics of this game very frustrating, from camera angles to getting stuck on objects. My 9-year-old is determined to finish it but she doesn't seem to be enjoying it anymore - often can't find the way to the next level when one is completed, and personally it gives me a headache to even watch it; I can't play it to help her anymore, it flickers so much. Good potential but needed refining.
 Exploration? Yay! Adventure? Nay... October 26, 2007
First off, I love the CatCF movie. It's my favorite movie of all time. Secondly, I AM a teenage hardcore gamer so you can be sure that what your getting is a good opinion and not from some parent who rated 5 stars because their 5-year-old loves it.
OBJECTIVE: Your name is Charlie Bucket. Your mission? Help 4 unfortunate kids out of their misery. You go around collecting various candies and Oompa Loompas to help you throughout your mission with Willy and Grampa Joe as your guide.
MUSIC: (0/5) Boring and repetitive. In most games, the music will at least loop smoothly so it's blended and sounds pretty good. But here, it skips between each play as if it's serving to remind you that yes, it's still there and it still sucks.
GAMEPLAY: (2/5) Not too bad... pretty basic and pretty boring. Run, jump, throw... nothing exciting or enticing.
GRAPHICS: (3.5/5) Could have been so much better in this field. It is pretty colorful but it's really outdated and plain.
VOICE ACTING: (4/5) Most of the actors from the movie voice their characters (including Charlie and Grampa Joe) but most of them don't really cut the cake. Depp does not voice Wonka. Instead he is replaced by James Arnold Taylor (one of my favorites in American voice acting only topped by Johnny Bosch). If your a gamer you might recognize him mostly from Final Fantasy X (Tidus).
REPLAY: 0/5 Simply put, the game doesn't let you. I'm one of those people who goes through a game collecting EVERYTHING. Well, I did just that. Got all the upgrades, bonus features and the Great Glass Elevator. However, upon finishing the game, access to all of these features became lost. After the frustration of going through all that BS just to get shut out from your rewards is truly frustrating.
So where does this game really shine? Level design. Some of them are straight from the movie and fun to explore. The originals aren't half bad either.
Getting locked out from playing is HORRIBLE. Unless you're a major Charlie fan, don't buy.
