Product Description:

Plunge deep into a fantasy world full of mystical creatures when you join the Grace children on their quest to discover the secrets of The Spiderwick Chronicles. Based on Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Films’ movie adaptation of the best-selling book series, the video game lets players take on the roles of Jared, Simon and Mallory Grace as they enter the hidden world of the unseen. Play as all three Grace siblings, each with unique abilities, along with Thimbletack the Brownie, whose small size allows players to discover the inner passages of the enchanted Spiderwick home.

Rating: - Fun and Entertaining
After playing the demo on Xbox Live and getting hooked, I had to purchase this game. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is addictive fun. I can’t compare it to the movie because I have not seen it yet, but I enjoyed playing this game thoroughly from batting goblins to death to painting the fairies to running through the house and yard collecting stuff. This is coming from a mom of a 10 year old. I got hooked before my daugher did. Very cute, fun and entertaining game and now with the game marked down to $10 why not try it out? I paid full price for this game and still thought it was worth every penny.

Rating: - Loved it!
I enjoyed the Spiderwick, Chronicles game, but that’s my personal preference! Other games I have enjoyed are the Shrek games and Ms Pac Man Maze Madness (on PS2), if that gives you a guideline. I enjoy games with “quests” and storylines. This one probably could have been a little harder OR taken a little longer to conquer. However, I thought overall it was fun! It might be a little tough for younger kids but then again they are probably much better at it than I am! There was just a lot of remembering where you needed to go (IE: to the forest, to the rock quarry, etc) to find things or complete quests. But like I said, I’m sure they are just better than I am!

Rating: - Better then you think
Don’t let the title fool you, this is a perfect game for someone 8-14. Even mom and dad can enjoy this one. The 5 stars would be 2-3 if for anoyone over the age of 13, but my son loves it.

Rating: - There is NO cooperative play
This is not a full review of this movie-based game. I bought Spiderwick, Chronicles today in order to play along with my son, who enjoyed the books and movie. The box advertises that the game is for 1-2 players, and specifically says that there is cooperative play for 2 players.

This is not true; according to what I’ve read in the manual, and from reviews elsewhere, the *only* multiplayer component in the game is a competitive “catch the most sprites” minigame that is unlocked as you complete the various levels. I don’t want to be a stickler, but “cooperative” is not the same thing as “competitive,” and to my mind, when a game advertises itself as having cooperative play, that means that you can play through the story with a friend.

My son seems to be enjoying the game so far, though from what I’ve seen I doubt it will last. The game isn’t particularly good looking visually, and there doesn’t seem to be much going on. Though I should point out that I’ve only seen the first couple of levels/chapters.

My “starred” review is based on the clearly false statement on the box re: cooperative play, and as I said is not intended as a review of the game as a whole.
