Product Description
The far North of our planet is one of the most perilous environments in the world. Take on the role of either a young polar bear or a walrus growing up and trying to survive in the wild. From eating to fighting off predators, almost every aspect of the animal's life is presented to the player. Learning to live in this world is vital as they go from the regular dangers to the extreme threats, and the gameplay will evolve as the animals age! Over eleven stages take the player from snowy mountains, across turbulent ice sheets, and into the frigid oceans that are patrolled by deadly killer whales. The stages alternate between free-roaming areas that contain several mini-games and travel zones, which could be anything from descending a cliff face from the mountains to surviving in the open ocean as a storm rages around you. Experience the thrilling, interactive look at the resilient animals that roam the vast world of the Arctic wilderness. ESRB Rated E for Everyone

 Mediocre. May 27, 2008
A well-made kids' game can often be fun for adults too, but be warned, this is not one of those games.
The thing is, I hesitate to say this game would be fun even for a child. Perhaps only a very young child. Most of the mini-games and puzzles quickly reveal themselves as variations on the same and aren't that exciting to begin with.
In addition, in my opinion the controls are very awkward and imprecise. If I as an adult have trouble, I wonder if a child would not be even *more* easily frustrated? Or perhaps they are simply less likely to notice? I suppose it could go either way.
Graphics and music are also lackluster. Basically it's bland all-around. If your kids really, really loved the movie, they'll probably have fun with it...at least for a while.
 Great for a kid who loves animals January 1, 2008

If your child loves watching nature shows and researching animals on the computer then this is a great game for them. My 9 year old son LOVES it. But, if your child is only looking for a game for the fun value, this is not the game you want. The graphics are poor and besides exploring and a few mini games, there is not much to do.
