NGC Charlie and the Chocolate Factory review:4 stars (A game of pure imagination....) - I am a grown man. I have always enjoyed the first Willy Wonka movie. I have yet to see the new movie. But, if it's anything like this game, it's not all that different. A very similar plotline gives us older folks (35) a chance to sort of exist inside the story we grew up with. But, the gameplay experience is much too simplistic for an adult. Shame. The movie's always kind of been for the adults really. I decided to play it with my son. Now, there was an enjoyable experience. Extremely colorful, and chocked full of mini games. The Factory is alive with things to see and do. A large assortment of logical puzzles as well as quick button mashing games. Quite long as well. It is entertaining. But, Johnny Depp is not doing the voiceover for Willy Wonka. You'll be surprised to hear that it is James Taylor. For us old fogies, he's an incredible singer from thousands of years ago ;-). You really can't go wrong with this, though. It's very magical. 1 stars (Just Another Headache) - I just got done playing a demo for Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. Let me tell you, this game is a headache on a disk. First, lets start off with the basics.

Sound- The whole time you are playing this game, you hear these noises. Not normal noises, but weird dripping chocolate noises. The music is annoying and repeats constantly.

Gameplay- This game is based around a big factory, with chocolate oozing and more. It is like one big puzzle. Unlock one part to get to the next. Not really anything mind blowing.

Controls- This is why I hated the game. The controls are horrible. You are in this weird 3rd person camera and it switches and fliks every time you jump or run. Possibly the worst controls ever.

Overall, this is a good game, but I wouldnt reccomend for over the age of 12. Renting suggested, buying not reccomended.
